Ginseng’s origins lie in traditional Chinese medicine. Ginseng is a slow-growing plant harvested anywhere between four and six years. Although there are many types of ginseng root, the most popular are Asian and American ginseng.
There are two significant compounds in ginseng, ginsenoside, and gintonin. They both work together to provide health benefits. Ginseng can be a potent ally to your health.
There are a few studies regarding the relationship between ginseng and the immune system.
In a small study, 39 patients recovering from stomach cancer surgery took 5,400 mg of ginseng for two years. The results were impressive. The patients had a considerable improvement in immune function and low rates of recurrence of symptoms!
Other studies have also found that ginseng helps the production of cytokines which stimulate the immune response indicating it can help fight colds and flu.
A study of Korean ginseng found that the herb increased the production of T-cells and B-cells and boosted the immune system.
When you feel weak or drained you may want to reach for ginseng. A study with 90 participants with idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF) took ginseng to help with symptoms. The participants who took the ginseng instead of the placebo showed an improvement in physical and mental fatigue. Researchers attribute the results to the high antioxidant content in ginseng.
A small study involving 14 people aged 74 with Alzheimer's found that Korean ginseng helped improve frontal lobe brain function.
A 2018 report found that 4500 mg daily doses of ginseng had cognitive enhancing effects that may help with cognitive deficits. The group that took the ginseng showed improvement in visual learning and recall after six months.
There is evidence that ginseng may help lower blood sugar and help the pancreas produce more insulin.
A 2014 study had participants take 2.7 mg of fermented red ginseng every day. Some participants took a placebo. Researchers found that the group that took the ginseng had lower blood sugar and increased insulin after a meal compared to the placebo group.
More research will need to take place to determine whether the herb can be an effective complementary treatment for diabetes in addition to traditional medication, but it looks promising.
An 8-week study in 2012 looked at 119 men with mild to moderate ED. The men took a placebo or Korean ginseng berry extract. The ginseng group reported an overall improvement in sexual function.
A study review of older men with ED found that ginseng was often used as an alternative or complementary treatment for the condition.
The National Institute of has also found that although more research on ginseng needs to be conducted, they have found it helpful for several other conditions such as:
● Digestive problems
● Depression
● Anemia
● Bronchitis
● Fibromyalgia
● Cold and Flu
● Hot Flashes
