Anmerkungen

  • Though weaker than Ginseng Ren Shen, this herb excels at nourishing Yin, particularly of the Stomach and Lung.
  • It breaks up congealed mucus.
  • It eases Lung inflammation.
  • It is the main Western herb used in China.
  • It comes in wild and cultivated forms — the wild type is best for Qi, while the cultivated type is adequate for Heat.
  • Western herbalists rarely use it, and it saw only limited use among American Indians.
  • Prepared with Ginger, it boosts Qi and supports normal Qi.
  • It tonifies the Chong Mai and Du Mai, carrying Blood and Jing to the brain.
  • It is a leading restorative for the adrenal cortex.
  • Ren Shen and Rx. Panacis Quinquifolii Xi Yang Shen both tonify Qi, but Xi Yang Shen is sweet, slightly bitter, and cooling, and it also tonifies and augments the Blood. It can substitute for Ren Shen whenever Qi tonification is wanted without a warming effect.
  • Xi Yang Shen, Rx. Pseudostellariae Tai Zi Shen, Rx. Ginseng Ren Shen, and Rx. Codonopsis Dang Shen all tonify primal Qi and generate Fluids. Tai Zi Shen acts far more weakly, needing a larger dose, and its tonifying effect is confined to the Lungs and Spleen. Dang Shen tonifies Spleen Qi but not primal Qi as Ren Shen does, nor does it generate Fluids the way Ren Shen and Tai Zi Shen do. Xi Yang Shen matches Ren Shen in strength but is cooler and better at generating Fluids, making it less suitable when warm tonification is needed. In mild cases of Qi and Yin Deficiency, Tai Zi Shen can serve as a substitute.
