Can children eat ginseng? Who is suitable to eat ginseng?

When it comes to ginseng, I believe many people's first impression is that it is expensive. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, many ordinary people can also eat ginseng. Ginseng, as a precious Chinese medicinal material, plays a positive role in our body. In order to improve their children's resistance, many parents will buy ginseng for their children to eat, but some people in life will question whether children can eat ginseng! Let me tell you today!

Can children eat ginseng?

Whether children can eat ginseng depends on the individual. Children with good physique and healthy development do not need to eat ginseng. However, children with weak constitutions or developmental problems can eat ginseng, but the dosage must be strictly controlled.

In the southern regions, during the autumn and winter, adults often take the initiative to give their children some ginseng soup or something like that, which can help them resist dampness and cold, with good results.

Ancient Chinese medicine believes that children's turtle back, pigeon chest, five delays (delayed standing, walking, hair growth, teething and speech), and five weaknesses (soft head, soft neck, soft hands and feet, soft muscles and soft mouth) are caused by weakness and can be improved by taking ginseng.

In Korea, children are fed ginseng honey when they are three months old. As long as the dosage is not excessive, the effect is quite good and there are no side effects. Some Korean families even feed ginseng to their children shortly after birth.
