People with cold bodies can take American ginseng, but they should eat it as little as possible. Because Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is a cold medicine, it is advisable to nourish the qi and nourish the yin, so it is better for people with cold body to take it sparingly. If the body has heat symptoms, such as dry mouth and irritability, hot palms, red face, as well as frequent fatigue and weakness, you can use this type of ginseng tonic. On the contrary, if you have cough, phlegm, saliva or edema, you should avoid such tonic as American ginseng to avoid aggravating your condition. Some people may experience fear of cold, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and diarrhea after taking American ginseng, so they should pay attention to stop the medicine as soon as possible for observation. American ginseng is not suitable for people with cold body, especially those with cold body accompanied by heavy dampness.
