The side effects of ginseng fruit mainly include:
1. Heatiness: Long-term and excessive consumption of ginseng fruit may increase internal heat, leading to symptoms of heatiness such as mouth ulcers and yellow urine.
2. Gastrointestinal discomfort: Due to its high dietary fiber content, excessive consumption of ginseng fruit may cause indigestion, bloating, acid reflux, and other symptoms, particularly in individuals with weaker gastrointestinal function.
3. Allergic reactions: Individuals allergic to certain components of ginseng fruit may experience symptoms such as skin redness, itching, coughing, and eczema after consumption. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock may occur.
When consuming ginseng fruit, it is advisable to do so in moderation, avoid excessive intake, and pay attention to individual bodily reactions.
