There are many formulas that include Ginseng. Ginseng is used to strengthen digestion, improve functioning of spleen and heart energy as well as lung energy.
The decision on which ginseng formula needs to be used depends on the diagnosis that is made by your acupuncturist. For example, if you have fatigue and insomnia, ginseng and longan is very popular. If you are fatigued and also have an organ prolapse, ginseng and astragalus can be used. The energy of these formulas is completely different. Ginseng and longan is used too boost energy and digestion as well as calm the spirit (heart energy). Ginseng and astragalus is used to boost energy and lift energy when it is so low that the internal organs are sinking.
Since so many Americans have so much stress and insomnia, I tend to prefer ginseng and longan.
