Psychological Improvements
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, ginseng's positive effects on mental function could include better cognition and memory, improved speed of recall, and improved accuracy during tasks requiring mental attention. Some participants in studies showed improved reaction times and better abstract thinking.
Controlling Blood Sugar
Panax ginseng's ability to lower blood sugar levels demonstrated benefits for some diabetics. Ginseng didn't reduce blood sugar to dangerously low levels in scientific studies, but diabetics should consult with a physician before using the herb.
Athletic Enhancement
Athletes commonly use red panax ginseng to enhance physical strength and endurance. Ginseng's stimulant quality enhances the effect of caffeine. Other positive effects of regular ginseng consumption could benefit athletic performance indirectly.
Erectile Dysfunction
Chinese herbal medicines frequently include red panax ginseng in treatments for sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction. Some scientific studies uphold these traditional treatments, showing positive effects on erections, desire and overall sexual satisfaction.
In a study using laboratory animals at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in 2002, researchers noted improvements in libido and performance. Chinese medicine considers red panax ginseng to be more yang, or male (warming), in effect than American white ginseng--a yin tonic (cooling).
Immune System Enhancement
Red panax ginseng's tonic effects include the strengthening of the immune system. Studies showed that in patients suffering from chronic bronchitis, antibiotics were more effective when patients also took ginseng. Ginseng also enhanced the effect of flu vaccines.
Cancer
Some studies show that panax ginseng use lowers the risk of cancer in patients over 40 years old.
Panax Ginseng has been known to increase physical and mental endurance, reduce cholesterol, and increase energy. It is commonly taken to enhance physical performance, prolong life and increase sexual potency. Long before scientists researched its benefits, Chinese herbalists prescribed it to normalize blood pressure, improve blood circulation and prevent heart disease.
With regard to cognitive ability, Panax Ginseng is said to significantly improve abstract thinking. Several studies have found that treatment with Ginseng improved the ability to complete detailed tasks, perform mental arithmetic and improve memory, attention, concentration and a general ability to cope. Furthermore, it is said to improve reaction to visual and auditory stimuli, as well as visual and motor co-ordination.
Panax Ginseng has long been reported to be an aphrodisiac: Chemicals in Ginseng are thought to stimulate the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus to direct the production of hormones that stimulate cell growth and healing in the sex organs. It is also believed to promote better blood circulation within the penis, and an Italian study found that Ginseng use increased testosterone levels, as well as the number and motility of sperm cells.
Panax Ginseng is considered an "adaptogen" in that it normalizes body functions during stressful or other situations that would alter those functions, helping the body to adapt and return to an overall sense of well-being. Dr. I. Brekhman, a Soviet scientist, was the first to describe this unique ability to normalize body functions. For example, if blood sugar levels drop too low, or blood pressure climbs too high, an adaptogen will aid the body's return to normal function.
When taken in lower doses, Panax Ginseng acts as a sedative, and in higher doses, it is a stimulant.
Many women have claimed relief from hot flashes and other discomforts of menopause when taking the herb.
Ginseng may be very beneficial to good heart health: Studies in Japan have shown that taking Panax Ginseng will lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol and raise the beneficial HDL cholesterol.
This action is believed to increase blood circulation, reduce blood pressure and reduce the risk of strokes, arteriosclerosis and heart attacks. Long before scientists researched this herb, Chinese herbalists prescribed it to normalize blood pressure, improve blood circulation and prevent heart disease. Modern tests have shown that Korean Ginseng slows the heart rate and reduces the heart's demand for oxygen. It is also said to increase the strength with which the heart muscle can contract, and protects the heart from myopathy, a weakness or wasting of the heart muscle.
It is also thought to protect against the effects of radiation exposure.
Ginseng root, not extract, appear to be responsible for its ability to lower blood sugar in diabetics. People with Type-2 diabetes often find that after two weeks of consuming Ginseng their blood-sugar levels go down considerably, and and it may reduce insulin requirements and prolong the effect of injected insulin. Diabetics should take Ginseng only under a physician's supervision.
Ginseng Extract does not contain all the necessary properties of the herb responsible for the good health benefits.
