Radix Panax Ginseng and Panax Ginseng both have the effect of tonifying qi, but Panax Ginseng is stronger in benefiting qi to save the body, while Radix Panax Ginseng has the effect of tonifying yin as well, and there is a certain difference in their efficacy.
Radix Panax Ginseng is the root of Panax Ginseng, a plant of the family Wujiaceae. In addition to its effect of tonifying qi, Panax Ginseng also has the effect of clearing away heat, generating body fluid and nourishing yin. It can be used to treat diseases caused by deficiency heat and tiredness, coughing, wheezing, phlegm and blood, internal heat and thirst (internal heat accompanied by symptoms such as eating, drinking and urinating), dry mouth and throat, etc. It can also be used to treat dry cough with little phlegm and blood in phlegm caused by deficiency of lung yin.
Ginseng is the root and rhizome of ginseng, which has the effects of tonifying the vital energy (replenishing the root energy of the human body), tonifying the spleen and the lungs (tonifying the spleen and the lungs), and tranquilizing the spirit and benefiting the intellect (stabilizing the spirit and mind and promoting intellectual development), etc. It can be used to treat the symptoms of deficiency of vital energy, cold limbs and pulse, deficiency of the spleen and food, coughing and wheezing of the lungs, deficiency of qi and blood, and deficiency of the long term illness.
