American ginseng is a natural energy and immunity booster. In TCM, it is commonly used to boost Qi (energy) and nourish the body's Yin. Yin represents the energy that is responsible for moistening and cooling bodily functions.
American ginseng clears heat and replenishes fluids in the body, thereby restoring Yin-Yang balance in cases of excess heat or dryness in the body (e.g. sore throat, ulcers, dry stools or constipation, etc). It also helps fight stress, improves mental function, and calm the mind.
Enjoy the benefits of American ginseng with other floral herbs:
● Chrysanthemum: Clears heat, detoxifies the body, and brightens the eyes
● Dendrobium: Reduces eye fatigue and improves eyesight
● Rose: Promotes smooth flow of Qi and blood, thereby alleviating gastrointestinal and menstrual discomfort
● Osmanthus: Improves skin complexion and nourishes the lungs
Recommended for whom:
Suitable for everyone, especially those who frequently sleep late, experience high stress, feel tired easily or like to indulge in spicy or deep-fried foods.
Preparation:
Steep teabag in hot water for about 5 minutes before consuming. For a cold brew tea, use room temperature water instead and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer if you prefer a stronger taste.
Storage:
Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Best kept refrigerated once opened.
In TCM, 'heatiness' suggests an excess of Yang energy or deficiency of Yin. Apart from the hot weather, poor diet and lifestyle can also cause 'heatiness' to manifest in the body. For instance, frequently staying up late, overworking without adequate rest, consuming excessive 'heaty' foods, etc.
Examples of 'heaty' foods:
● Deep-fried, greasy or spicy foods
● Chicken, beef, or lamb meats
● Fruits such as durian, mango, longan, or lychee
● Alcohol, coffee, red tea, or chocolate beverages
Some signs of 'heatiness' or Yin deficiency include:
● Warm, feverish palms and soles
● Sore throat, fever, or ulcers in the mouth
● Hard and dry stools or constipation
● Dark or yellow urine
● Dry or bloodshot eyes
● Skin issues such as acne, eczema, and hives
● Feelings of restlessness, irritability, vexation, agitation, or anxiety
● Dream-disturbed sleep or insomnia
● Dry cough or cough with thick yellow phlegm
