This tea nourishes the wu zang (the five generating and storing organs of the body—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys). Ginseng tea soothes the nerves and stimulates the production of body fluids. It is prescribed specifically for general weakness and exhaustion after childbirth, illness, or surgery, and as a tonic for the elderly.

You should not drink this tea when you eat daikon orradish, as they weaken the ginseng’s effects.
