人参为临床常用补气要药,一般认为慢性病虚弱证候及急性病非属抢救而需用人参者,均可以党参代替,但用量应适当增加(用人参量的2—3倍),至于危重病症而须抢救者,则仍以人参为宜。关于人参之叶,以往很少应用弃之,过去有人称人参叶气味清香,善生津液,且不耗气,可代茶饮,祛暑气,降虚火,为解醒上品。近几年来对人参茎叶作了大量研究,经实验证明人参茎叶具有用人参(根)相似的 Ginseng is a commonly used qi drug for clinical use. Generally, it is considered that the deficiency of chronic diseases and the acute disease are not rescue but need to use ginseng. They can all be replaced by Dangshen, but the dosage should be increased (by 2-3 times of the amount of human ginseng), as for critical illness. For those who need to be rescued, ginseng is still appropriate. As for the leaves of ginseng, it was rarely used to discard them. In the past, some people said that the leaves of ginseng have a clear smell, good body fluids, and no gas consumption. They can be used for tea, hot springs, and imaginary fires. In recent years, a great deal of research has been done on ginseng stems and leaves, and experiments have shown that ginseng stems and leaves are similar to ginseng (root).
