Madam Shen ' If radish is used to make ginseng, it will not increase asthma, but only get the benefit of eliminating asthma. Or ask radish for ginseng, but it's useless to use radish. This does not know the radish, but does not know the ginseng. When ginseng gets radish seeds, it is more effective. It will be hard to cover ginseng and replenish qi. It is not a symptom of asthma. If radish seeds are used to replenish qi, it will be easy to get Qi. It is more than radish seeds to calm Qi, but not the deficiency of Qi. It is not ginseng to calm Qi, it is not ginseng to hurt Qi.

If you take the medicine of regulating qi for a long time, it will not hurt your qi. The fried semen Raphani is the last. You can take qianxu after every meal, so that you can eat well and turn it around without hurting your qi. If it is used to remove mankaiyu, and supplemented by Shenqi and Shuzhu, although it is often taken for a long time, how can it hurt Qi. "
