Red ginseng is useful in treating symptoms such as deficiency and desire to shed, cold limbs and weak pulse, and failure of qi to take in blood. Red ginseng has the effect of tonifying vital energy, restoring normal pulse, preventing and controlling the symptoms of deficiency, and benefiting the qi and blood (preventing bleeding by tonifying the qi).
1. Weak pulse: red ginseng is sweet and thick in flavor, warm in nature, and good at replenishing vital energy. Whenever there is a great loss of blood, profuse sweating, and all diseases resulting in pallor, indifference, cold limbs, excessive sweating, weak pulse, and extreme deficiency of vital energy, red ginseng can be used urgently in the form of decoction.
2. Blood deficiency: red ginseng can be used to replenish the deficiency of both blood and qi. Red ginseng is used for blood deficiency because it has the function of benefiting qi and generating blood, which is better than the effect of blood tonic medicine alone.
Red ginseng should not be used in combination with wulingzhi and quatu. If you need to take this medicine, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s prescription.
