Fire is a folk saying, equivalent to the mild symptoms of heat in traditional Chinese medicine. If both of them are used correctly under the guidance of physicians, they generally do not cause fire. If not used properly, red ginseng is more prone to transform heat into fire, which is the so-called more prone to fire.
Red ginseng is warm in nature, sweet in taste and slightly bitter in flavor. It has the effects of tonifying vital energy, restoring normal pulse, preventing and controlling deficiency, benefiting qi and blood ingestion (preventing bleeding by replenishing qi), and can be used for conditions such as cold limbs, weak pulse, deficiency, lack of qi to ingest blood, and discharging blood from menstruation (excessive amount of menstruation or more than a few drops of menstruation).
Ginseng is slightly warm in nature and sweet and bitter in taste, with the effects of tonifying vital energy, tonifying the spleen and lungs, generating fluids and nourishing blood, and restoring the veins and fixing the blood circulation, etc. It can be used for treating the diseases such as deficiency of the body and blood, deficiency of the spleen, deficiency of the qi and blood, lung deficiency and coughing, injury of the fluids and thirst, palpitation and insomnia, impotence and uterine coldness.
Both in the physician’s guidance on the correct use of the evidence, generally do not lead to fire. If not used properly, red ginseng is warm in nature and ginseng is slightly warm in nature, so compared with ginseng, red ginseng is more warm in nature, and it is easier to produce heat and fire after taking it, that is, it is so-called more prone to catch fire.
