ge gen as a single herb

[Guest guest]

I would not prescribe ge gen as a single herb to a patient, but when it

comes to treating myself, I can be downright lazy.

 

So, are there any downsides or concerns about taking ge gen as a single

herb at a standard dose (concentrated grangule) as long as it is

indicated in my pattern of neck pain / stiffness.

 

Thanks.

I don't see any problem with it. Ge Gen is used in Chinese/Japanese

cooking/baking, too.

The prepared starch of ge gen is considered to be a medicinal food in

Japanese cuisine, especially in macrobiotics. It is very beneficial

as 'kitchen medicine' for colds and poor digestion.
