Ginseng Radix Rubri or Ginseng Radix, which has a good effect of invigorating qi and blood?

Ginseng can greatly replenish vitality and is known as the "king of herbs". From the origin, both ginseng and red ginseng are derived from the dried roots of Panax ginseng, a plant of Araliaceae. Cultivated is "garden ginseng", wild is "mountain ginseng", and the wild planted in the forest is called "mountain ginseng under the forest" which grows naturally, commonly known as "planting the sea". Garden ginseng is dried or dried, which is called "raw sun ginseng"; Ginseng is called "sun-dried ginseng" after drying in the sun; Blanching in water, soaking in sugar and drying in the sun are called "white sugar ginseng"; After steaming, it is dried or dried, which is called "red ginseng". Our commonly used ginseng generally refers to sun-dried ginseng, and red ginseng is the dried product of steamed garden ginseng.

Ginseng can be made into sun-dried ginseng (dried in the sun) and red ginseng (cooked) according to different processing methods. What's the difference between steaming and not steaming?

First of all, Chinese medicine believes that ginseng is a Chinese medicine for tonifying deficiency, which is better than qi deficiency. Ginseng eats cold raw, but nourishes yin bitter. Therefore, the sun-dried ginseng is cool, and it is more effective to replenish qi, nourish yin and produce body fluid. Suitable for people with deficiency of both qi and yin, and ginseng is mostly used for deficiency of both qi and yin. Such as red tongue with little coating, dry throat and mouth, dizziness and tinnitus, can be taken; Red ginseng is warm and good at warming up. It has the function of warming and tonifying yang, and has a strong effect of invigorating qi. It is most suitable for "yang failure" due to yang deficiency or yang failure, and is mostly used for deficiency of qi and blood, cold pulse, failure of qi to absorb blood, metrorrhagia and bleeding. Such as old age, dizziness, stomach cold, excessive blood loss in women, or postoperative physical weakness.

Secondly, judging from the classics of ancient medical books, the book says: "ginseng nourishes yin to make Yiyang"; "Those who want to remove yang should replenish yin to keep it"; "Ginseng is cool, ripe and warm, sweet in taste and nourishing yang, but slightly bitter in nourishing yin" and so on. The single use of ginseng originated very early. Tao Hongjing's "Hundred Prescriptions after Elbow" and Sun Simiao's "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" both recorded the use of ginseng to treat diseases. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, folk soups and ointments are more beneficial to single users, because their functions focus on nourishing yin and blood, but they also have the function of tonifying yang and benefiting qi, which has a special biphasic effect than other drugs. It can be seen that Yiyang of ginseng is realized by nourishing yin.

Ginseng, as the king of herbs, has a long medicinal history and is widely used in clinic. Through reading various books and documents, it is found that people are quite controversial about whether it can replenish yin or yang. The ancients thought that ginseng was slightly cold, but the current pharmacopoeia was slightly warm. I think this is related to the fact that modern ginseng is mostly used to tonify deficiency. But for ginseng and red ginseng, whether ancient or modern, the understanding of the partial temperature of red ginseng is the same. For those with body deficiency and yang deficiency, red ginseng should be used to warm up.
