Ginseng edible taboo:
1. Ginseng should not be abused.
Ginseng is a kind of qi tonic, and it should not be taken casually without symptoms of qi deficiency. People who are strong and not weak do not need to take tonics and use them indiscriminately. If misused or used, it will often lead to suffocation, resulting in chest tightness and bloating. Some people think that ginseng is a tonic, and eating it is always good for your health. This is a wrong idea. Whether it is red ginseng or dried ginseng, you should eat it step by step, and you should not rush and eat too much. In addition, we must pay attention to seasonal changes. Generally speaking, the weather is cool in autumn and winter, and the food is better; Summer, when the weather is hot, is not suitable for eating.
Avoid drinking tea.
Tea contains tannin, which is combined with ginsenoside and is not easily absorbed by people; Furthermore, tea contains caffeine and other substances, which can excite the central nervous system. We all have such a life experience. When we drink strong tea, we often suffer from insomnia and irritability, which is caused by excessive excitement of the central nervous system. Similarly, ginseng has a similar effect, which can enhance the excitement of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, taking ginseng and tea at the same time will greatly enhance this effect, which will easily lead to poor sleep, irritability and headache at night. Especially for those patients with nervousness or neurasthenia, it is not good, so avoid tea, especially strong tea, when eating ginseng.
3. 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.
