There is no such thing as the best combination of red ginseng. Professional Chinese medicine practitioners should choose different herbs according to different symptoms.
Red ginseng is the dried root and rhizome of the cultivated ginseng of the plant family Wujiaceae after steaming, with sweet, slightly bitter taste and warm nature. It belongs to the spleen, lung, heart and kidney meridians. It has the effect of tonifying vital energy, restoring normal pulse and preventing bleeding by replenishing qi. It is used in treating deficiency, cold limbs and weak pulse, failure of qi to regulate blood, and blood leakage (excessive menstruation or dripping of menstruation).
Red Ginseng with Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng enhances the effects of restoring yang to save the body (saving fainting and unconsciousness by warming yang qi), and benefiting qi to consolidate prolapse (treating prolapsed diseases by replenishing qi). It is suitable for patients who have lost a lot of vital energy, or have lost blood in a violent crash, resulting in violent loss of yang qi, as seen in profuse sweating, shortness of breath and panting, cold limbs and weak pulse.
Red ginseng with Schisandra can enhance the effect of nourishing the lung and kidney, relieving cough and asthma, and benefiting qi and nourishing yin. It is suitable for coughing and coughing due to prolonged illness, exhaustion of lung qi, or due to insufficient qi biochemistry, weakness of lung qi, dysfunction of coughing and heat illness with qi and yin injuries, yin deficiency and night sweating (sweating abnormally after going to sleep, and sweating stops after waking up) and yang deficiency and self-sweating (sweating involuntarily during the daytime, and sweating aggravated with a little movement) etc. However, it should be noted that red ginseng should not be combined with quinine.
However, it should be noted that red ginseng should not be used in conjunction with quatrefoil and wulingzhi. Red ginseng is a traditional Chinese medicine and should be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor to identify the symptoms. Which traditional Chinese medicine to use with red ginseng should be decided according to the patient’s condition.
