Ginseng as a Stimulant

Scientific research has shown ginseng to be an anabolic stimulant which does no harm.  Ginseng on the contrary, may be a stimulant which is actually good for you.  It builds energy in the body while at the same time increases health and vitality.  This is a constructive process which breaks down food into natural sugars which can easily be used by the body's cells. 

   According to reports by Russian scientists Professor Petkov of the Institute of Advanced Medical Training and Professor Brekhman, head of the Institute of Biologically Active Substances, there is a world of difference between ginseng and other stimulants such as amphetamine.  Ginseng is not an excitant.  It does not cause feelings of over excitation or emotional disturbance.  There is actually a sedative component in ginseng.  Unlike other stimulants, there is no difficulty in sleeping after taking it.  Ginseng acts in a stabilizing fashion.  The more tired one is, the more noticeable is its action.

Anti-Stress

Ginseng's adaptogenic, or normalizing action helps the body to adapt to all types of stess.  It is evidenced that Korean red ginseng strengthens and promotes the function of the immune system. 

Anti-Diabetic

Evidence shows that ginseng can help to regulate blood sugar levels.  With a doctor's consent, it may be taken in addition to prescribed drugs without risk of incompatibility.

Regulating Blood Pressure

Clinical trials have shown ginseng to be a mild regulator of high and low blood pressure.  Chinese medicine include ginseng in medicines for those suffering from heart attacks or heart disease.

Mental Benefits

Russian experiments have shown that ginseng improves the mental state of the elderly.  It can be recommended for depression and insomnia, as it has been documented to raise the spirits and improve outlook on life.

Against Impotence

Ginseng may help certain cases of physical impotence, particularly resulting from a general lack of vitality.  One must differentiate between those aphrodisiacal drugs which yield the effects by irritating the sexual centers and herbs like ginseng which regenerate and rebuild the vitality but do not act by mere stimulation or irritation.

Anti-Cancer

Scientific studies in Korea state that Korean red ginseng has a remarkable effect on the activation of natural killer cells that are able to kill cancer cells based on the result of administering Korean red ginseng for a year to rats suffering from lung cancer.

Active Constituents of Korean Red Ginseng

Ginseng has long been regarded as unique in the world of herbs.  Compounds called ginsenosides, which are found only in ginseng, are the active components that give ginseng its desirable properties.  Ginsenosides resemble natural hormones in their structure and each acts in a specific way within the human body.  For example, one may act to lower blood sugars, while another may act to raise them.  It is desirable, therefore, that a broad spectrum of ginsenosides be present in order to benefit from an adaptogenic or normalizing action. 

   Ginsenosides act on the body systems only when needed.  For example, the specific ginsenoside that regulates blood sugar will not act in a person whose sugar level is normal.  It is therefore very safe to take ginseng.

   The variety of ginsenosides identified in Korean red ginseng is 26 while other species such as in North American has 14, Chinese 15, Japanese 8 and Siberian 3.  This is thought to be the reason that Korean red ginseng is the most effective ginseng on earth.  Standarized ginseng preparations are standardized for only one ginsenoside.  In other words, a certain level of one ginsenoside is guaranteed in each dose.  Other ginsenosides may or may not be present.  It is preferable to have a wide range of ginsenosides present.

   The ginsenosides in ginseng help build up general health by regulating the burning of energy.  They help the body adapt to all types of stress and may be the key to understanding ginseng's regulatory and healing powers.
