Tradycyjne zastosowanie
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 西洋参 (Xī Yáng Shēn) has been used for centuries. It is traditionally classified as a qi-tonifying herb that strengthens vitality. TCM practitioners use it to reinforce the body's defensive energy (wei qi). It opens the orifices and sharpens the intellect — used traditionally for forgetfulness and mental fog.
