Ginseng Root in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Ginseng has a variety of uses in Traditional Chinese Medicine—an adaptogen, aka Superior Herb, it’s especially adept at strengthening Qi, or energy, to counter weariness and shortness of breath while fueling the body.

Its greatest quality in TCM is its ability to supplement Yuan Qi (the “source” energy for all organs and organ systems in the body). It is used in cases of extreme fatigue and exhaustion, and recovery from severe illness. It also  replenishes the Qi of the Lungs (as mentioned above for shortness of breath and fatigue). Also, due to the Lungs’ connection to the immune system in TCM, nourishing Lung Qi promotes a stronger immune system. 

It is used to strengthen the Qi of the Stomach and Spleen (the center of digestion) and can help recover from eating disorders which damage and weaken the energy of the digestive system. 

It also helps generate fluids of the digestive system which can be damaged by conditions such as diabetes. Finally, it can also be used to treat impotence in men.*
