Panax Ginseng Support & Information

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Ginseng radix) is named after the botanist and explorer C.A. Meyer. It is the most ancient and recognized species of ginseng. It is the primary species used in scientific studies to explore ginseng's properties.

Extensive clinical studies over the past 20 years show that this ginseng has two main effects. As an adaptogenic, it enhances the body's non-specific response to external stress. It also improves physical and mental performance.

Ginseng

There are several plants that are commonly referred to as ginseng. In the strict sense of the word "ginseng" refers to the Panax genus, of which Korean and American ginseng are the most well known medicinal herbs. Siberian, Indian and Brazilian ginsengs are not members of this genus, but share similar medicinal effects to the true ginsengs. This article will discuss Korean, American and Siberian ginseng. For a discussion on Indian and Brazilian ginseng see the articles titled "Ashwagandha" and "Suma".

The ginsengs are adaptogenic herbs, meaning that they help people during stressful times and recovery from illness and fatigue. The ginsenosides and eleuthrosides are the active medicinal components of the ginsengs. Studies show that they have a structure that is similar to the steroid hormones and act through the brain. The end result is stimulation of the adrenal gland and activation of the body's energy reserves. This response keeps us safe, allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations. It also increases heart rate; blood pressure and blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs and heart. Thus ginseng leads to increased energy, mental performance and performance in physical tasks like athletics.

This response can deplete the body after a while so ginseng also contains substances that stimulate cell replication, protein synthesis, immune functioning and blood sugar regulation. All of these properties nourish the body and aid in recovery from times of high activity, illness and stress. The ginsengs are recommended by natural health practitioners for a variety of needs including athletic performance, energy, recovery from illness or surgery, stress, support during cell treatment, impotence, low libido and frequent colds and flus.

The difference in the ginsengs is the strength of their activity and the amount that they stimulate versus nourish the body. Red Korean ginseng is the most stimulating and least nourishing. It is usually recommended for men. Korean white ginseng is slightly less stimulating than the red variety and is a good choice for energy enhancement in women. Both of these varieties are not usually recommended for long-term use. Siberian and American ginseng are moderately stimulating and more nourishing. They are useful for everyone and can be used for longer periods of time.

Ginseng can be found in a variety of different forms. Raw herb, teas, single serving liquid vials, tinctures, encapsulated herb or capsules are all widely available. Premium ginseng root can be extremely expensive, costing thousands of dollars a kilogram. This leads one to wonder what type of ginseng most manufacturers are using. Purchase whichever type of ginseng suits your needs but be sure to buy a standardized product as an assurance of the quality of the ginseng.

Ginseng products may also be Ginseng can be found in combination products for energy, sexual functioning and memory. Ginseng is found in traditional Chinese formulas. Use caution when purchasing these formulas because their quality varies widely, toxic contaminants may be present and manufacturing practices in China are not well regulated.

Ginseng contains components that have blood thinning, blood pressure altering and blood sugar altering properties. Ginseng supplements should be used with caution by individuals with active bleeding, blood clotting disorders, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, diabetes and hypoglycemia. For the same reason, ginseng supplements should be discontinued prior to surgery or dental work. Ginseng can alter the effects of caffeine, stimulants, decongestants, blood thinners, including aspirin, anti-hypertensives, sedatives, insulin and oral hypoglycemics. Ginseng should not be used by pregnant women or nursing mothers.
