Health Benefits

Studies show that ginseng increases mental and physical efficiency and resistance to stress and disease. Studies also show that ginseng improves carbohydrate tolerance in diabetics. Ginseng appears to stimulate the immune system of both animals and humans. It revs up the white blood cells (macrophages and natural killer cells) that devour disease-causing microorganisms. Ginseng also spurs production of interferon, the body's own virus-fighting chemical, and antibodies, which fight bacterial and viral infections. It reduces cholesterol, according to several American studies. It also increases good cholesterol. Ginseng has an anticlotting effect, which reduces the risk of blood clots. It reduces blood sugar levels. Ginseng protects the liver from the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, and other toxic substances. Ginseng can minimize cell damage from radiation. Ginseng enjoys a reputation as an appetite stimulant and one study showed it increases the ability of the intestine to absorb nutrients, thus helping prevent undernourishment. These are just some of the health advantages of consuming ginseng.

Probably the best testimonial for ginseng is the fact that it has been used in herbal preparations for thousands of years -- and still is today. Over one billion people are reported to be using ginseng in one form or another.

It can be described as an adaptogen. That is, it tends to have a normalizing effect on body functions, contributes to energy levels, and helps in reducing the effects of stress. It is these qualities that have led to the wide use of ginseng. Modern medicine has done a fantastic job in developing treatments for the diseases that have plagued mankind and should not be ignored in time of need. There is, however, a growing acknowledgement in all cultures today that it is equally important to look at the underlying causes of the disease and practice preventive medicine with good diet, exercise, etc. Ginseng can play an important role in maintaining sound physical as well as mental health.
