American ginseng belongs to traditional Chinese medicine. Whether American ginseng is suitable for the elderly or not is mainly determined by the condition of the elderly, and only symptomatic treatment can receive good results. Radix Panax Ginseng has the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating fluids, and is used in treating deficiency of qi and yin, deficiency of heat and fatigue, coughing, phlegm and blood, internal heat and thirst (internal heat accompanied by symptoms such as eating, drinking and urinating), and dryness of mouth and throat, etc. It is a good remedy for the elderly with its sweet, bitter and cool flavor. Radix Panax Ginseng is sweet, slightly bitter and cool, which is good at tonifying qi and nourishing yin, but also can clear the deficiency fire, so it can be used for those who have both qi and yin injuries and the deficiency fire is prevalent. It can be used to treat heat injury to qi and yin, deficiency heat and fatigue, excessive sweating and thirst, or prolonged coughing and lung deficiency, qi and yin injuries, dry cough with little phlegm, shortness of breath and spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the daytime, and sweating aggravated by a little movement). Radix Panax Ginseng tonifies Qi and nourishes Yin, clears deficiency fire and generates fluid to quench thirst (promoting fluid production to relieve thirst). It is suitable for those who suffer from thirst due to deficiency of yin or deficiency of both qi and yin (deficiency of both qi and yin). For treating thirst due to yin deficiency and internal heat, it is combined with fresh dihuang, fresh dendrobium and fresh maitong to clear heat and nourish yin, and to generate fluid to quench thirst. Chinese medicine treatment is subject to evidence-based diagnosis. Please use medication under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner and do not abuse the medication to avoid affecting your health.
