American ginseng is a commonly used medicine for tonifying qi, which belongs to the heart, lung and kidney meridians, and it can indeed tonify lung qi, but you must know its flavor, it is a cooling medicine, with the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating fluids, and it is most suitable for the deficiency of both qi and yin in the lungs, which manifests itself in the form of shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing, little phlegm, or blood in phlegm, dry mouth and pharynx, night sweats and so on.



How to combine to benefit the lungs and lift the qi? There are rules for pairing.

Compatibility with Qi tonic

1. Xiyangcai is paired with ginseng. Ginseng is a good medicine for tonifying the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and the two of them belong to the matching of Chinese medicine, i.e., two medicines with similar efficacy can be used together to enhance the efficacy of the original medicines, that is to say, they can play the role of 1+1>2.

2. Xiyangzhi can also enhance the effect of tonifying lung qi when combined with ginseng, but the effect is not as strong as ginseng.



3. In fact, American ginseng is the closest in efficacy, both of which can replenish qi, nourish yin, clear the fire and promote the production of body fluid, and their combination can enhance the effect of replenishing the lungs, clearing the fire and promoting the production of body fluid, but the efficacy of American ginseng is significantly weaker than that of American ginseng.

4. As for American ginseng and astragalus, although astragalus is also a good medicine for tonifying lung qi and is inexpensive, generally speaking, it is not recommended to use it in this way, because American ginseng is cold and astragalus is warm. When a person suffers from qi deficiency, theoretically speaking, it is either cold (yang qi deficiency) or hot (qi and yin deficiency), so it is necessary to carefully identify and choose one that is, not because they are all qi tonic medicines without regard to the abuse of cold and heat. If cold and heat are not obvious, ginseng and ginseng, which are relatively flat in nature, can be used to tonify qi.


Compatibility with blood nourishing drugs

This is to strengthen the effect of qi tonic by utilizing the relationship between qi and blood, qi and blood nourish each other, blood will be weak in qi deficiency, and qi will be insufficient in blood deficiency, thus it can be accompanied by blood nourishing medicines such as Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Colla Corii Asini, etc., so that when the blood is strong, the qi will be full, and the effect of qi tonic will be even better.


Compatibility with spleen-strengthening herbs

This is to utilize the relationship between the five elements to replenish lung qi. The five elements of the lungs are gold and the spleen is earth. By strengthening the spleen and earth, on the one hand, earth (spleen) can be cultivated to produce gold (lungs), and on the other hand, the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, both of which can indirectly make the lung qi more adequate. Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Licorice and Jiao Sanxian are commonly used to strengthen the spleen.


Compatibility with ascending and lifting drugs

When using qi tonic medicines such as Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng to tonify qi, one can also combine some lifting medicines, such as Chai Hu and Sheng Ma, which can effectively help to lift lung qi, but the dosage must be small. Chai Hu and Sheng Ma in the famous formula of tonifying the middle Jiao and Yi Qi Tang is to elevate the Qi of the middle Jiao Spleen and Stomach, but it is also suitable for elevating the Lung Qi. This pairing enables the Qi to move and better perform the function of benefiting the Lungs and lifting the Qi.

That's why replenishing qi may seem simple, but it's very skillful, and there's a lot to be said for combining it.

From its name we can tell that American ginseng comes from the West, and although it comes from a foreign land, that doesn't stop it from being a relative of ginseng. Ginseng and Panax ginseng are both plants from the family of Ginkgoaceae, the same family but different species, so they have some similarities, but also have some differences.

American ginseng has grown up in a foreign country, which makes it different from the local ginseng. Both ginseng and Panax ginseng can replenish qi, but Panax ginseng can replenish vital energy, used for treating various diseases caused by deficiency of vital energy, and can also be used for acute diseases, such as the sudden loss of positive qi, the body sweating profusely, and the pulse is subtle and wanting to be extinguished, when ginseng should be used, but Panax ginseng doesn't have such a powerful effect. Radix Panax Ginseng is suitable for general deficiency of lung, spleen and qi, that is, one usually feels short of breath and weak, with tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.

Both ginseng and American ginseng can produce fluid, but compared to the two, American ginseng has a stronger ability to produce fluid, while ginseng, although it can also replenish fluid, is still mainly used to replenish qi. In the treatment of sweating, in addition to replenishing qi, ginseng's ability to generate fluid is also inseparable, and the two are indispensable. However, if both Qi and fluid are not too deficient, then American ginseng can be used. Insufficient fluid will result in dry skin, dry mouth and thirst, dry eyes, etc. Ginseng can be used to benefit qi and generate fluid.

In addition to tonifying qi and generating fluids, American ginseng also has some heat-clearing properties. Because of its cold nature, American ginseng clears heat from the lungs and treats lung-heat cough. Therefore, American ginseng can tonify lung qi, clear lung heat and nourish lung yin. However, because of the expensive price of American ginseng, it is not an herb that the average person can afford to consume, and there is no need to cling to the mentality that only expensive herbs are good herbs.

American ginseng is beneficial to the lungs is a very appropriate adjective, as to what herbs can be used with it to raise the qi, there is something to be said about that. Drugs that can raise the qi include Chai Hu, Ascophyllum, Pueraria Mirifica, Platycodonopsis, etc., but although these herbs can raise the qi, they do not have qi tonic effect. After several rounds of screening, the ancient healers found the medicine of astragalus.

Astragalus not only replenishes qi, but also raises it. The power of astragalus to replenish qi is so great that it can be said to go far beyond astragalus to directly replenish the qi of the lungs and spleen. At the same time, Astragalus can elevate the clear yang of the spleen and transport the essence of water and grains upward to the lungs, and then, through the lungs' action of declaring and purging, transport these essences to the whole body.

Radix Panax Ginseng with Astragalus, the effect of tonifying qi is also very strong, but to avoid the dryness of astragalus hurt fluid, so the two together can avoid the occurrence of "fire", is a very good partner.

The use of drugs depends on what you want, just like color mixing, two colors together to synthesize a new color, to be adjusted into what kind of color to add what kind of color, different ratios to meet the requirements, so color mixing is very fine.

So when combined, some effects are the same and some are different, so what effects you need.

Just use whatever medicine you want. For example, if you want to raise the qi, you can use ginseng, use astragalus, yam and Pueraria Mirifica, you can achieve the effect of tonifying qi and lifting the yang qi, for the lung deficiency and qi trapping, you can achieve the effect of lifting the yang and trapping the lungs to tonify the lung qi. At this time, American ginseng, itself also has the effect of tonifying qi, and nourishing yin, so to increase the effect of tonifying lung qi and lifting qi can be added to these herbs used together.

At the same time to pay attention to is not to eat to some of the opposite, phase stomach drugs and food, such as radish, these, have a certain digestive effect of the drug will also have the effect of this elimination, so the complementary and elimination, is to pay attention to, is not to eat to replenish the drug at the same time and eat some elimination of qi, digestion of food and medicine, such as hawthorn. Shenquan, malt these, radish LaiShiZi. These are usually eaten to promote digestion, and tonic medicine should not be used together or during this period.
