American Ginseng 花旗参

There are two main types of ginseng - Asian/Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Studies have found that both come with different benefits.

From TCM's perspective, American ginseng is considered less stimulating than the Asian variety. Though the Qi-tonifying action of American ginseng is weaker than Asian ginseng, they are cool in nature; hence, it helps to clear heat, nourishes the "yin", and promotes body fluid generation.

These properties make American ginseng an ideal herb for metropolitans who often work long hours in stressful environments, stay up late, eat an imbalanced diet, smoke, consume excessive alcohol, and lack physical exercise - which then leads to Qi-deficiency.

American Ginseng is one of the key ingredients in Qi-cha’s “The Hustler” 💥blend, together with chrysanthemum, goji berries and astragalus, which is a good companion for those who live a busy lifestyle for energy and immunity boosting, and it is caffeine-free!

西洋参(别名花旗参)与人参同属五加科的植物。西洋参野生于北美洲加拿大南部和美国北部原始森林中。

人参的主要功效是大补元气;西洋参的主要功效是补肺降火,养胃生津。益气生津,这是它们的相同之处。古人云:“西洋参性凉而补,凡欲用人参而不受人参之温者,皆可用之”。意思是指有些人因不能承受人参的热补,皆可服用西洋参,因为它补而不燥,是西洋参的特别之处。

西洋参性寒,味甘,微苦。西洋参一般用于治疗阴虚火旺,喘咳痰血,热病气阴两伤,烦倦口渴,津液不足,口干舌燥、肠热便血等症,如面红、口干、心烦失眠的人。

此外,西洋参和人参都有提高抵抗力、抗衰老、耐热、耐寒的功效,特别是对抗疲劳和延缓细胞衰老方面,已经有明确的科学实验论证。

在城市生活的我们通常会长时间工作在高压力的环境下,缺乏运动,迟睡,饮食不均衡,抽烟饮酒等的生活作息都可能会造成我们气虚阴亏。西洋参则有帮助与补气养阴,适合气虚阴亏,虚热烦倦的人们服用。

西洋参是启茶铁娘子💥中的重要材料,配合菊花,枸杞,黄芪,除了在味道层次上更全面之外,其补气养阴,护肝养眼,提高免疫力的效用会是城市忙碌的人们最佳的良伴!而且,她还是全无咖啡因的提神醒脑茶哦!
