American ginseng is best suited for spring and summer, and is best consumed during the day. Spring is the time of the year when everything grows, which complements the effect of American ginseng in nourishing qi and yin, nourishing the stomach and generating body fluid. In summer, when the weather is hot, American ginseng is cool in nature, so it can be eaten at this time to quench thirst. American ginseng is especially suitable for consumption one hour after breakfast because people tend to eat foods with high starch content for breakfast, and eating American ginseng after the meal can better consume energy. At the same time, people tend to doze off at 9-10 a.m., so eating American ginseng in moderation at this time can help invigorate the spirit. In addition, you can also consume American ginseng in moderation after 3:00 p.m., because at this time, people’s spirit may be exhausted and their efficiency is relatively lower. Patients are advised to consult a Chinese medicine doctor before consuming American ginseng, and consume it according to their specific conditions. Those who have a deficiency of qi and yin should follow medical advice to control the consumption amount and avoid blindly increasing or decreasing the amount.
