Questions about the herb's health benefits haven't cooled the red-hot market in wild American ginseng | |||
Medline Plus writes that the root of the panax ginseng plant is used to make medicine. Panax ginseng is reported to be used to improve thinking, concentration, memory and work efficiency, physical stamina, and athletic endurance. Panax ginseng is also used by some people to help them cope with stress and as a general tonic for improving well-being. Panax ginseng is sometimes called an adaptogen when it’s used in this way. There are also a myriad of other illnesses Panax ginseng is used for including depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), for boosting the immune system, and for fighting particular infections in a lung disease called cystic fibrosis and various types of cancer. | |||
Dr. Victor Marchione has reported for Doctors Health Press: "The Secret Ingredients That Fight Cancer." Ginseng has a very long history as a well respected potent herbal medicine. As an adaptogenic herb ginseng is considered a special regulator that increases the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental factors. As an adaptogen ginseng has a normalizing effect. Unique ingredients in ginseng, called ginsenosides, appear likely to give ginseng its adaptogenic properties. | |||
Researchers have examined the potential activation and synergism between three common ginsenosides present in ginseng: ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1); ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1); and ginsenoside 20(S)- protopanaxytriol (20S). It has been discovered that Rb1 and Rg1 are relatively non-toxic to cells, while 20S significantly inhibits cell proliferation. Rb1, Rg1 or 20S were also found to induce what the researchers have called total antioxidant activity. A combination of 20S with either Rb1 or Rg1 induced total antioxidant activity synergistically. This, the researchers have said, is likely the reason for ginseng’s beneficial health effects such as cancer chemoprevention.
