Whether it is good to take American ginseng in summer depends on the individual’s condition. In summer, it is easy to hurt the fluid and consume it, so if there are symptoms such as thirst and spontaneous sweating caused by deficiency of qi and yin, it can be treated by taking American ginseng according to the doctor’s prescription. If there is no such disease, it is not recommended to take it.
American ginseng has a sweet, slightly bitter taste and cool nature, and belongs to the heart, lung and kidney meridians. Radix Panax Ginseng can tonify Qi and nourish Yin, clear away heat and promote the production of body fluid. It can be used to treat thirst, cough, spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by the slightest movement of sweating), fatigue, shortness of breath, heartburn and dryness of the bowels caused by deficiency of qi and yin.
In summer, it is easy to injure the fluids and deplete the fluids. If the above mentioned diseases caused by deficiency of qi and yin occur, one can take American ginseng as prescribed by the doctor, but there is no obvious seasonal difference in the use of American ginseng. If there is no such disease, it is not recommended to take it.
It should be noted that people who are allergic to American ginseng are prohibited from taking it, and allergic people should be cautious of using it; American ginseng should not be used with quassia.
American ginseng should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be used on its own to avoid adverse consequences.
