What should I pay attention to when eating ginseng?

1, whether frying or stewing, avoid using hardware cookers. Hardware cookware is easy to react with medicinal materials, so don't make ginseng with this kind of cookware. It is best to use cookware such as casserole to ensure the quality of medicinal materials.

2. Ginseng should not be eaten with grapes. It is easy to cause nutritional damage. Grape contains tannic acid, which is easy to combine with protein in ginseng to form precipitation, which affects absorption and reduces drug efficacy.

3. Avoid eating radishes (including white radishes and green radishes) and various seafood after taking ginseng. Ancient medical books say that radish "goes down to the gas to eliminate the valley." Modern research on radish digestion and diuresis is the same as that in ancient times, and ginseng is its most important function. If you eat carrots at the same time, you can catch your breath. Ginseng has no nourishing effect if it is supplemented. So radish and ginseng should not be taken at the same time. In addition, tonics mostly have the function of invigorating qi, and should not be taken with radish at the same time.

4. It is generally inappropriate to take it when you have a cold and fever. Because palpitation is serious when you have a fever, users will improve blood circulation and make palpitation worse.

5. Avoid ginseng for asthma syndrome caused by sudden asphyxia, dry throat caused by dry heat, vomiting blood and nosebleeds caused by impulse.
