From shaded, moist mountainsides, Korean ginseng is grown 180 days of the year in China,
Russia, Japan and Korea. For thousands of years it has been used throughout the Orient as a
powerful medicinal herb and tonic. Early Chinese pharmacists classified the herb as "superior" as
it said to promote youthful vitality and longevity. The long and slender root, or contains the
strongest medicinal properties, and wars had been fought over the lands where it once grew wild.
The scientific name for Korean ginseng is Panax schinsen, the genus name "Panax" is Greek for
"heal-all", with close relation to the word "panacea".
Korean ginseng has been noted as being an adaptogen - that is, it contains anticarcinogenic and
antioxidant properties, and helps the body adapt to stress. Few studies have been conducted in
the Western world concerning the powerful herb, but China compensates with high quality,
controlled experiments. Recent studies have shown Korean ginseng to contain as many as 28
ginsenocides, that is, the active compounds in ginseng that give it its efficacy.
These same experiments claimed demonstrations of enhanced physical performance, increased
oxygen intake and faster recovery time for athletes; mental enhancements such as learning time
and memory, as well as mood enhancements; it improves alertness and concentration and has
been known to reduce overall cholesterol levels while raising the levels of "good" cholesterol. It
was also shown to aid in the treatment of diabetes by elevating the release of insulin from the
pancreas, and stimulates the immune system. Although the evidence is inconclusive, there is a
reported effect of increased sexual-potency for males.
There are many types of ginseng on the market today, such as American, Siberian and Japanese
ginseng. Korean ginseng has been noted as being slightly more powerful than the Chinese
alternative. While both American and Korean ginseng roots are taken orally and perform as
adaptogens, stimulants and a treatment for diabetes II, Korean ginseng is more "stimulating" and
therefore should be an informed addition to one's diet. Doctors and Chinese herbalists alike
discourage people with disorders such as ulcers, high blood pressure and high stress levels from
taking Korean ginseng. Pregnant and lactating women should avoid this herb, as it may influence
estrogen levels.
Overall, Korean ginseng is a potent herb that has been used for thousands of years as a panacea,
or a cure-all, and is a stimulating herbal alternative for those who long for a natural antioxidant to
combat today's chemical-ridden world, stimulate brain activity, boost their immune system, and
maintain healthy cholesterol levels or for athletes seeking an extra skip in their step!
