SOME WORDS ABOUT GINSENG

Many of the offered products contain ginseng as one ingredient. Here are some facts about this herbal medicine.

Botannical facts

Ginseng is the common name for the botannical family Araliaceae (division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Apiales, family Araliaceae), a family of herbs, shrubs, and trees that often grow as prickly plants, but sometimes appear in  climbing forms. Most species ar tropical or subtropical. However, some variants live in temperated zones in the north of Asia and America, and these are those most used as medicine plants.

The East Asian species mostly used as a medical herb is the Panax Ginseng, growing mainly in the north of China and Korea. A Siberian variant, Eleutherococcus Senticosus, and an American variant, Panax quinquefolius are also used, and some experts regard the American variant to be better than the Asian variants. However, the variants do not effect completely equivalent actions on the body.  The East asien and American species are by now mostly exterminated in the wild by commercial exploitation.

Today, almost all the ginseng roots on the market are cultivated in China, Korea, and Japan.

The first historical reference to the ginseng plant used as a medical herb originates from the Han dynasty (from 206 B.C. to 24 A.D.). The name of the plant used then was "sheng" and later "jen sheng" that then became the term "ginseng".

The ginseng plant has typically five leaflets at the top of its long stalk, and small green-white flowers centered at the base of the leaves.

The plant has a thick root, often man-shaped, with a rich system of thin secundary roots with occational thickenings.

The fruit of the ginseng plant are small light-red berries where the seed is situated. In the first two years it doesn't bear any fruit. Not until the third year after the cultivation it appares for the first time.

The herbal medicine ginseng is prepared from the plants' dried roots. There is scientific works going on to exploit also the berries of the plant for medical purposes.

The health effects of ginseng

Ginseng exerts general tonic and adaptogen actions. When something is acting tonically, there is a strengthening of most physiological processes in the body, or the general vitality. An adaptogen substance increases the ability of the body to respond with a certain action when the need is felt, for example leading more blood to an organ when it is under stress and needs more oxygen and nutrients to manage that stress.

Because of the tonic action, ginseng gives a person a greater feeling of general strength, makes the person more awake, improves the memory, improves concentraion and attention, gives a person greater endurance and possible also increases a persons muscular force.

The tonical effects are espesially strong at the genital system, making the herb work as an effective aphrodisiac.

Ginseng boosts the immune system, and because of this general action, ginseng helps to fight several diseases, for example  cancer.

Ginseng lowers the cholesterole and fat level in the blood. More specifically it decreases the serum levels of total cholesterol, the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and the amount of triglycerides, and it increases the serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL).

The ginseng root also acts to relax the walls of blood vessels, and block the blood-clotting compound thromboxane, thus thinning the blood. 

Ginseng stimulates cell growth and tissue regeneration after disease and physical damage. Therefore it helps to recover from diseases that hurt tissues.

As a consequence of the above listed actions, ginseng effects the following benefits: It helps to lower the blod pressure. It helps to prevent angina and cardiovascular disease, ammeliorate manifest angina, and recover form cariovascular disease.

The chemical substances contained in the herb also give strong anti-oxidant effects. An anti-oxidant work by mopping up free radicals formed during the chemical prosesses in and outside  the cells, before those have the time to attack vital cell components and structural components between the cells. The genetical compound (DNA) and structural fibres outside the cells are especially voulnerable to such processes.

Thus ginseng prevents or slows down oxydative damage to the body. Therefore ginseng helps to slow down the aging process and helps to prevent cancer.

Further functions observed are:

• Lowering of blood sugar levels

• Stimulation of the pituitary-adrenocortical system.

• Inhibition of tumor growth.

• Stimulation of alcohol dehydrogenase and the oxidation of alcohol in the liver.

What ginseng is used to

Ginseng is used to prevent and treat symptoms of aging, both physical symptoms and mental ones. It is also used to increase mental capasities and physical condition both by young and old persons.

Ginseng is further used to treat bronchitis, asthma, TB, poor circulation, digestive irritations, diabetes, influenza and more

The working ingredients of ginseng

The main working substances in ginseng seem to belong either to the classes triterpene saponins, named ginsenosides and phenols.

The constituents of ginseng root have been investigated since the beginning of the 20th century, and several classes of compounds have been isolated: Polyacetylenes, sesquiterpenes, polysaccharides, peptidoglycans, nitrogen-containing compounds.

The phenolic compounds found in ginseng increase during steaming. Thus steaming increases the effect of the plant.

Ginseng contents also include many minerals and nutrients, which are absorbed from the soil during growth stages. Some examples are iron, copper, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, pottasium, sulphur, mangenese, silica, and sodium. In addition to the above, the root also contains vitamins B-1 and B-12.

Ginseng products

Extracts from the fleshy root of the perennial Ginseng plant - which grows in the undergrowth of deciduous forests - have been used in traditional oriental medicine for many centuries.

Oriental ginseng (Panax ginseng) products are one of two kinds: white or red. The kind of product is determined by the process used to prepare it.

White ginseng is the dried peeled root.

Red ginseng is the steamed root, caramel-colored and resistant to the invasion of fungi and worms.

 In the European phytomedicines market, white ginseng is commonly used as crude material, whereas red ginseng is preferred in Asian traditional medicine.

The root can be used to make a tea or simply chewed. In the West it is often sold in a convenient capsule form, which you simply swallow.

There is evidence showing that rootes steamed at 120 degrees C have a stronger pharmacological effect than roots treated by drying or boiling or steaming in 100 degrees C.

Ginseng do not reproduce asexually. In order to reproduce the plant, it must therefore be allowed to reach maturity before it is harvested. Usually, the ginseng plant will produce seeds when it has grown 2 prongs (or leaves), at age 3 to 4 years. The plant will add a third prong at age 5 to 9 years old. Harvesting requires at least two seasons of producing seeds (or at least 5 years old).
