It has a hot energy, a spicy flavor and affects the Spleen, Stomach, Kidney, Heart and Lung functions. If mixed with a Yang tonic, the warmth of this herb can provide heat to other organs as well. Thus when it is combined with a Kidney Yang herb, it will provide heat to the Kidney. The herb itself has only very minor tonic effects, but it tends to magnify the tonic qualities of other herbs, particularly Qi tonics like Ginseng and Astragalus. Fresh Ginger is sometimes used in Chinese herbalism as well. It is called Shangjiang. It is used for just the opposite conditions. It is used when there is dryness and heat. It moistens and cools the interior. Back to Top |
