Ginseng Benefits

By Dave Johnson

The man-shaped root that is ginseng has been a powerful healing herb for centuries. And even today, many take ginseng for its natural healing powers. It has served as a pain reliever, a stimulant as well as a cure for colds, sore throat and a host of other illnesses. Ginseng also served to maintain and improve one's virility and energy. It is also known as a royal drink, since emperors and kings were known to drink ginseng to improve their health.

Ginseng can be used in many ways:

Adaptogen. It is taken as an adaptogen, since it is able to regulate the body's functions, adjusting based on what an individual needs. Ginseng can lower blood pressure or increase it, depending on the person's current blood pressure level.

Healing and revitalization. Ginseng is also beneficial for healing and revitalization. This is the drink of choice for royalty who want to preserve their energy and virility and extend their lives. Ginseng is able to stimulate our immune system, encouraging it to work remarkably well as it fights disease and promote healing.

Tonic. According to some clinical studies, this root is able to maintain the body?s overall functions ? the central nervous system, the circulatory system, lungs, liver and other parts of the body. Ginseng is believed to relieve you of stress, boost your levels of concentration and energy as well as improve your memory. This is because it improves the supply of blood to the brain.

Diabetes treatment. With its blood glucose-lowering properties and the ability to balance blood sugar levels, ginseng can help in dealing with Type II diabetes.

Aphrodisiac. Do you find it hard to "perform"? Ginseng has traditionally been known as an aphrodisiac and is believed to help your body produce more sex hormones, which in turn improves your sex drive and your capacity to perform. Women who have problems with menopause can also take ginseng, as this can improve estrogen production.

Other uses. As if this list were not long enough, people have also found applications for ginseng with regards to pains and aches (backaches, headaches, pain brought about by menstruation and childbirth), weight loss, insomnia and colds. People are also known to take ginseng to protect them from the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation. - 17273
