Both of them are invigorating qi. Which and how to use American ginseng and Astragalus membranaceus has the best effect.

Today, I'm going to talk to you about qi deficiency. Usually, people with qi deficiency will show symptoms such as shortness of breath, laziness, lack of health, listlessness, red tongue coating, and tooth marks on the tongue. The skin condition looks particularly bad, and the whole person looks very old. How did these problems come about?

In traditional Chinese medicine, these problems are mainly related to our spleen, lung and kidney. Qi is the most basic substance of human body, which is composed of the essence of kidney, the qi absorbed and transported by spleen and stomach and the clear qi inhaled by lung, and exists in all corners of the body.

It promotes the operation of the human body, promoting, warming, defending, immobilizing and gasifying. Once these functions lose their normal operation, they will lead to qi deficiency, thus showing the appearance of weakness, laziness, fatigue, shortness of breath and weakness. So what should I do?

Of course, it is necessary to tonify qi. At this time, we will think that some medicines for invigorating qi, such as American ginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, are both medicines for invigorating qi. Which one should we use?

Let's talk about this American ginseng first. Everyone is familiar with it. It is a kind of ginseng, and its nourishing effect is very good. It can not only tonify the middle energizer and relieve physical weakness, but also slow down the aging speed of the human body. It is recorded in Materia Medica that it can tonify the lung, reduce fire, produce body fluid and get rid of tiredness. It is suitable for some people with deficiency and fire.

Let's take a look at Astragalus membranaceus again. Astragalus membranaceus is no stranger to everyone. It can not only be used to make soup and tea, but also be a good medicine for invigorating qi blindly. It has a good effect of invigorating the middle energizer and benefiting qi, and its effect is not inferior to that of ginseng, and it enters the five internal organs.

However, Astragalus is good at invigorating the qi of spleen and lung. Because of its mild nature, it is very suitable for people with spontaneous sweating, night sweats, mild anemia and weak physical fitness.

Both American ginseng and Astragalus membranaceus are good medicines for invigorating qi, but they must be taken according to the symptoms. American ginseng is not recommended for people with insufficient yin and cold and dampness, and Astragalus membranaceus should not be taken for a long time, because it may cause symptoms of excessive internal heat in the body. If you have such people around you, you can collect them and find Chinese medicine to differentiate symptoms.
