Red Ginseng in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Red Ginseng is defined in Chinese pharmacopeia as a cooked product derived from the Panax genus plant, belonging to the Araliaceae family.

Core Functions and Meridians

In TCM, the primary traditional effects of Red Ginseng are summarized as "Greatly Supplement Original Qi, Restore Pulse and Arrest Collapse, Benefit Qi and Control Blood" (大补元气, 复脉固脱, 益气摄血).

According to the National Compilation of Chinese Herbal Medicine (全国中草药汇编), Red Ginseng is said to greatly supplement Qi (vital energy), secure against collapse (gu tuo), and promote the production of bodily fluids (sheng jin), and calm the spirit (an shen).

It is traditionally used to address a wide array of deficiency syndromes, including:

  • Internal damage due to overwork (lao shang xu sun).
  • Reduced appetite and general fatigue (shi shao, juan dai).
  • Reversed flow leading to vomiting (fan wei tu shi) and persistent diarrhea (da bian hua xie).
  • Chronic cough and wheezing due to deficiency (xu ke chuan cu).
  • Spontaneous sweating and sudden collapse (zi han bao tuo).
  • Palpitations, forgetfulness, dizziness, and headaches (jing ji jian wang, xuan yun tou tou).
  • Sexual dysfunction (yang wei), frequent urination, and wasting thirst (xiao ke).
  • Gynecological conditions like excessive uterine bleeding (fu nu beng lou).
  • Infantile convulsion (xiao er man jing).

Red Ginseng’s fundamental role is in addressing all syndromes involving insufficient Qi, Blood, and Jin Ye (bodily fluids).

Taste, Nature, and Physical Characteristics

The nature and taste (Xing Wei) of Red Ginseng are described as sweet (gan), slightly bitter (wei ku), and warm (xing wen). It traditionally enters the Spleen, Lung, and Heart meridians (Gui Jing).

In terms of physical description (Xing Zhuang), Red Ginseng appears spindle-shaped or cylindrical. Its surface is typically translucent, reddish-brown. Occasionally, it may show opaque dark yellowish-brown patches. The root bears longitudinal grooves, wrinkles, and marks from fine roots. The upper portion may feature continuous but indistinct annular rings. The lower portion typically has two to three twisted and crossed branch roots, sometimes accompanied by curved fibrous roots or remnants thereof. The root-stem (Lu Tou) usually exhibits several concave stem scars (Lu Wan). The texture of the root is described as hard and brittle, and its cross-section is flat and horn-like (jiao zhi yang). It possesses a slightly fragrant and peculiar aroma, and its taste is sweet and slightly bitter.

Ginseng Variants and Modern Considerations

It is important to recognize that various types of ginseng exist, each with unique traditional applications.

  • Asian Ginseng (Chinese and Korean Sources, including Red Ginseng): In addition to its general health benefits, it has been used for managing unclear thinking, Diabetes, and potentially reducing the severity of herpes simplex virus type 2 infections.
