Ginseng, alias: radix scrophulariae, wooden stick, radix scrophulariae, human title, radix puerariae, Shencao, Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, goblin, Sargassum, Huang Dan with wrinkled face, Latin scientific name: ginseng C.A.mey Araliaceae, and ginseng is a perennial herb. Ginseng likes shade, leaves have no stomata and fence tissue, and can't keep water. Leaves above 32 degrees will burn and grow between 33 degrees and 48 degrees north latitude. Produced in northeast China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and eastern Russia. Ancient ginseng was nicknamed Polygonatum sibiricum, Goblin and Shencao. Ginseng is known as the "King of Herbs" and one of the famous "Three Treasures in Northeast China". Efficacy of ginseng: it can greatly replenish vitality, remove body fluid and soothe the nerves. Can be used for treating fatigue, fatigue, anorexia, lassitude, nausea and vomiting, loose stool, cough and asthma, spontaneous sweating, fright, amnesia, dizziness, headache, impotence, frequent urination, diabetes, metrorrhagia, metrorrhagia, chronic weakness, and deficiency of qi, blood and body fluid. The function of ginseng: 1, regulating the central nervous system ginseng can regulate the central nervous system, improve the excitement and inhibition process of the brain, and make it tend to be balanced; Can improve mental and physical labor ability, improve work efficiency, and has anti-fatigue effect. 2. Promoting the use of energy substances by the brain can improve the learning and memory ability. The effective components of ginseng to enhance learning and memory ability are rare brand capsules, among which rare brand capsules Rb 1 and Rg 1 have good effects on learning and memory function. Ginseng roots can promote the learning and memory process of normal rats, and ginseng stems and leaves can obviously improve the memory impairment of rats caused by electric shock. Both of them significantly increased the contents of monoamine transmitters in different brain regions of normal rats. These studies have certain reference value for the rational application of ginseng plant resources. 3, improve heart function Ginseng can increase myocardial contractility, slow down heart rate, increase cardiac output and coronary blood flow, and can resist myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia. It has certain influence on heart function, cardiovascular system and blood flow. Ginseng has obvious anti-hypoxia effect, and its preparation can effectively resist sinus heart rate abnormality. Xipai capsule can accelerate lipid metabolism and significantly reduce high cholesterol. Low dose ginseng can slightly increase the blood pressure of anesthetized animals, while high dose ginseng can lower the blood pressure. Different ginseng preparations can enhance the function of toad heart in vitro and rabbit, cat and dog heart in vivo, and can improve myocardial weakness during ventricular fibrillation. 4, hypoglycemic effect Ginseng contains precious capsules and ginseng polysaccharides. In particular, Xipai capsule Rb2 has obvious hypoglycemic effect, and ginseng polysaccharide (or glycopeptide) is another hypoglycemic component in ginseng. 5, enhance the immune function of the body. Xipai capsule and ginseng polysaccharide are active components of ginseng to regulate immune function, which can improve immune function not only for normal people but also for people with low immune function. Ginseng polysaccharide is a high molecular acidic polysaccharide purified from ginseng, and it is an immune enhancer. Animal experiments and human clinical experiments show that it can significantly enhance human immunity and has a certain curative effect on malignant tumors. Clinical experiments show that it can also prolong the survival time of patients, improve the cellular immune function of the body, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and accelerate the repair of damaged tissues. Clinical observation has proved that ginseng polysaccharide has obvious leucocyte-raising effect. When it is used in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy, prevent leukopenia, and enable patients to successfully complete the treatment. Ginseng polysaccharide has no side effects, which proves that the drug is safe and reliable. 6. Improving the resistance to harmful stimuli can enhance the body's stress ability and adaptability. Ginseng contains ginsenoside, which can improve the anti-stress effect. Resistant to hypoxia, high temperature and low temperature. 7. Rare brand capsules with antitumor effect, ginseng polysaccharide, ginsenoside, panaxatriol and ginseng volatile oil. These substances have a certain inhibitory effect on tumors, but the mechanism is very complicated. 8. Antioxidant effect Ginseng contains a variety of antioxidant substances, such as rare brand capsules, ginseng polyacetylene compounds, and panaxadiol. These compounds have anti-lipid peroxidation effect and are the basis of anti-aging effect. In addition to anti-aging, it can also regulate physiological functions such as nerve, endocrine, immune function and substance metabolism. In addition, ginseng also has many functions such as antivirus, anti-shock, weight loss and so on. Although ginseng is a tonic with high value, it is not suitable for everyone. The protein factor in ginseng can inhibit lipolysis and aggravate lipid deposition on blood vessel wall, so patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular sclerosis, diabetes and vasculitis should use ginseng with caution. The increase of blood viscosity will lead to poor blood circulation, which is called blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Ginseng can promote the growth of red blood cells, increase the number of red blood cells and make blood stations more consistent. How to eat ginseng: 1.
