There is no saying that ginseng can’t be taken in summer to replenish the body. Whether ginseng can be taken in summer to replenish the body lies in the condition of the disease as well as the constitution of the person. For those who have strong Yang energy, hyperactive Yang constitution or Yin deficiency and internal heat constitution, it is not suitable to take ginseng, while for those who have Qi deficiency and weak Yang energy, it is possible to take ginseng.
From the point of view of Chinese medicine, human body is an organic whole and is unified with the natural and social environment. Moreover, yang qi in the human body rises and falls with the time of the day and the climate, and summer is the season when yang qi is the most vigorous in a year.
Ginseng, sweet and warm in taste and odor, enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians, and has the effects of tonifying vital energy, fixing loss of energy, generating fluids and calming the mind. It is used for treating qi deficiency, labor injury and loss of energy, lethargy, vomiting, slippery stools, insomnia and forgetfulness, and so on.
It should be noted that ginseng should not be taken with quinoa, wulingzhi and radish.
It should be noted that when taking ginseng, it should be taken under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be used blindly on its own to avoid bringing about adverse reactions.
