Hello! Whether you can eat American ginseng with a cold depends on your condition. Chinese medicine believes that although American ginseng is still partial, according to the development of the disease, it is not appropriate to take American ginseng in the early stage of a cold, so as to avoid "staying behind closed doors", which leads to the inability to eliminate evil spirits; In the recovery period, American ginseng can be taken properly to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil. On the other hand, if your constitution is weak, the cold caused by it is characterized by repeated colds, and it is difficult to recover in time after each cold. You can take American ginseng properly to enhance your constitution, and you can also take it properly at ordinary times to enhance your body's resistance, that is, to enhance righteousness and resist the invasion of foreign evils. In addition, if you feel dry mouth and dry stool, you should stop taking American ginseng. At present, your symptoms are mainly cough. If the cough is loud and the phlegm is too much, it means that the pathogenic factors are still heavy. Do not take American ginseng. If you cough with shortness of breath and fatigue, you can take American ginseng appropriately. I wish you a speedy recovery!
