一、美国花旗参与加拿大西洋参的区别 American Ginseng vs Canadian Ginseng

花旗参英文名叫American Ginseng，即美国花旗参，因美国旧称为花旗国而得名。花旗参原产于美国北部至加拿大南部一带，以威斯康辛州为主，位于美国北部丘陵地带。该地区气候偏冷，原始森林区的土壤肥沃，富含各种物质，极为适宜种植花旗参。

American Ginseng is native to the northern United States to southern Canada, mainly in Wisconsin, located in the hilly area of the northern United States. The climate in this area is relatively cold and the virgin forest area is fertile and rich in various substances, making it very suitable for planting American Ginseng.

通常依据产地分成（一般所称的）花旗参和加拿大参；两者虽然属于同一品种，但因为气候所影响，前者的参面横纹比后者更明显，有效成分含量也比较高。

Usually, types of Ginseng are divided into American Ginseng and Canadian Ginseng according to its place of origin. Although both belong to the same species, due to the influence of climate, the horizontal stripes on the Ginseng surface of the American Ginseng are more obvious than the Canadian Ginseng, and the content of active ingredients in American Ginseng is also relatively higher than Canadian Ginseng.

美国威斯康辛州当地参农有逾百年的种植经验，坚持使用处女参地（从未种植过花旗参或其它根茎类植物的土地）的种植方法，保证花旗参能够充分汲取土壤里的营养，保持独特的甘涩味道。因此威斯康辛州的花旗参含有很高的人参皂甙(dài)（人参的有效成分），被公认为世界上品质最纯净的西洋参。

Local Ginseng farmers in Wisconsin have more than one hundred years of planting experience and insist on using the virgin Ginseng planting method (land where American Ginseng or other rhizomes have never been planted) to ensure that American Ginseng can fully absorb the nutrients in the soil and remain unique the sweet and astringent taste. Therefore, American Ginseng from Wisconsin contains high ginsenosides (dài) (the active ingredient of Ginseng) and is recognized as the purest American Ginseng in the world.

二、西洋参与人参的区别 Chinese Ginseng vs American Ginseng

提到人参或西洋参，人们首先想到的是延年益寿、长生不老，其实二者是有一定区别的。

When it comes to Chinese Ginseng or American Ginseng, people usually think of prolonging longevity and immortality. In fact, there are certain differences between the two.

人参：性微温、味甘微苦，可补气、固脱、生津、益智、安神。人参既能补脾肺之气，又能大补元气，对于那些大病初愈、久病体虚而偏于气虚者，不失为一味良药。

Chinese Ginseng: Mild in nature, sweet and slightly bitter in taste, can invigorate qi, promote body fluid, and soothe the nerves. Chinese Ginseng not only invigorate the spleen and lungs, but also invigorate vitality. It is a good medicine for those who have recovered from a serious illness, have long-term illness and who have deficiency of qi.

西洋参：性凉，味甘，可补气养阴、益胃生津、清热解烦。西洋参（花旗参）与人参同属于人参属不同种，其根入药也贵重。中医认为人参性热，西洋参性平偏凉。有益肺阴，清虚火，生津止渴之功。治肺虚久咳，咽干口渴，虚热烦倦。西洋参性平偏凉，除了补气生津，还能清火除烦、养胃益肺，不会导致”上火”、血压升高等问题。

American Ginseng: Cool in nature, sweet in taste, can nourish qi and yin, invigorate stomach, promote fluid, and clear away heat. American Ginseng and Chinese Ginseng belong to a different species of genus Ginseng, and its roots are also valuable as medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners believes that American Ginseng is calm and cool in nature and is beneficial for lung yin, clearing deficiency internal fire within the body, and quenching thirst. It could also cure chronic cough due to lung deficiency, dry throat and thirst, tiredness of deficiency and heat, and will not increase blood pressure.

三、花旗参与高丽参的区别  American Ginseng vs Korean Red Ginseng

高丽参与中国人参同属同种，只是因为产地的不同，长在朝鲜半岛的称为高丽人参，长在中国的称为中国人参，但由于加工技术等差别，两者质量存在差异，功效基本与人参相同。

Korean Ginseng is of the same species as the Chinese Ginseng, the only difference is its origin. The quality of Chinese Ginseng and Korean Ginseng are different due to differences in processing technology, and the efficacy is basically the same as that of Chinese Ginseng.

高丽参又分白参和红参，脾虚火旺者宜用白参，因”生用气凉，微苦补阴”;脾虚肺怯者宜用红参，”熟用气温，味甘补阳”。总体来说，高丽参茶更适合老年气虚症状明显的人服用，能强壮体质，增强免疫力。但在碰到感冒、喉咙痛时，再喝高丽参茶就会太燥热。

Korean Ginseng is divided into White and Red. White Ginseng should be used for those with spleen and yin deficiency because it is “spleen-deficiency and low-bitterness to replenish yin”; for those with spleen deficiency and weak lungs, Red Ginseng is more suitable. In general, Korean Ginseng tea is more suitable for people with symptoms of qi deficiency in the elderly. It can strengthen the physique and enhance immunity. It is not recommended to drink Korean Ginseng tea if you have a cold or a sore throat.

高丽参则性温而补性强，益气助火。与之相比，西洋参味苦、微甘，性凉，不易上火。主治肺虚久咳，或见咯血，咽干口渴，虚热烦倦、老年体虚，精力不济等症状，阴虚火旺、爱咳嗽的人常喝西洋参茶能益气滋阴，生津止渴。

Korean Ginseng is warm in nature and can replenish qi. In contrast, American Ginseng tastes just a little bitter, slightly sweet, and cool in nature. Indications of chronic cough due to lung deficiency, or hemoptysis, dry throat and thirst, fatigue from deficiency and heat, senile physical weakness, and lack of energy. People with yin deficiency and coughing can often drink American Ginseng tea to invigorate qi and nourish yin, promote fluid, and quench thirst.

目前，市场上西洋参（花旗参）制品种类繁多，令人目不暇接。如何辨别西洋参（花旗参）的真伪，应引起消费者的注意。

There are currently a huge variety of American Ginseng on the market. So, the question is how to distinguish the authenticity of American Ginseng?

色泽上：品质好的进口花旗参，从外观看颜色较深。

Coloration: Imported American Ginseng of good quality is darker when viewed from the exterior.

外观上：进口西洋参色白，外表横纹细密，质轻，粉性少；断面较平坦，微呈较质状，有细密菊花纹理；气香而浓，味微甜带苦，口感清爽，味能久留口中。国产则外表横纹粗疏，质重而坚，粉性足。

Appearance: Imported American Ginseng is white in color, with fine horizontal stripes, light weight, and less powdery; the section is relatively flat, slightly more qualitative, with fine chrysanthemum texture; strong aroma, slightly sweet and bitter in taste, refreshing and tasteful. The domestic Ginseng have coarse and sparse horizontal stripes, heavy and firm, and powderier.

切片上：国产西洋参断面不平坦，切片内层多实心无菊花心纹理，无特异香味，口嚼苦重或淡，久之淡而微涩，粘舌。进口西洋参表面呈均匀的淡黄色，且有细微清晰的菊花瓣状放射的纹理，质轻而纹理缜密，味清香，不干瘪，有油性感。

Sliced: The section of the domestic American Ginseng is not flat, the inner layer of the slice is solid and has no chrysanthemum core texture, and no special fragrance. The surface of imported American Ginseng is uniformly light yellow and has a fine and clear chrysanthemum petal-like radiating texture. It is light in weight and dense in texture.

功能上：从临床功用上看，西洋参含人参皂甙成分，性凉而润。生晒参大量或长期服用时，会引起口舌干燥、鼻腔出血，必须在医生指导下用药。西洋参如长期或大量服用时，却没有副反应产生，因其属滋润性补益品，特别适宜中老年服用。

Efficiency: From the perspective of clinical function, American Ginseng contains ginsenosides, which is cool and moist in nature. When the raw sun-dried Ginseng is taken in large amounts or for a long time, it will cause dry mouth and nosebleed, and it must be administered under the guidance of a doctor. There are no side effects for long-term consumption of American Ginseng because it is a nourishing tonic, it is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
