Benefits
Several varieties of ginseng root have been used as treatments in Asia for centuries. Ginseng is one of the most popular medicinal herbs in the world.
Ginseng has traditionally been used for a number of medical conditions. However, its benefits for most of them have not been seriously studied.
There are two main types of ginseng: Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Studies have found that the different types have different benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, American ginseng is considered less stimulating than the Asian variety.
Although many other herbs are called ginseng, such as eleuthero or Siberian ginseng, they do not contain the active ingredient of ginsenosides.
Some studies have found that ginseng can strengthen the immune system.
Several studies in people have also shown that ginseng can lower blood sugar levels.
There is some early evidence that ginseng may temporarily – and modestly – improve concentration and learning. In some mental performance studies, ginseng has been combined with ginkgo.
Standard doses of ginseng have not been established for any conditions. The quality and active ingredients in supplements can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer. This makes it very difficult to establish a standard dose.
