Female Asian Panax – the versatile remedy
Panax is a plant from the aralia family that is native to Asia (northeastern China, Japan, Korea, and eastern Russia). The term 'panax' comes from the Greek word for 'all-purpose remedy', which may confirm why this plant is often referred to as a versatile remedy. The fruit of this plant is most often orange in color, although some varieties have a different color. The plant's taste is initially sweet, but after a while it becomes bitter. There are a total of 13 different species of panax, but only five are used in traditional Chinese medicine. These include: true ginseng (the topic of this article), American ginseng, Japanese ginseng, Vietnamese ginseng, and pseudo-ginseng.
What can we state about ginseng?
In traditional medical practice in Asia, the roots of ginseng have been used for millennia. Despite conducted studies that exclude certain effects it has on the human body, this plant is effectively used in many preparations. Thanks to its good tolerance by the human organism, virtually no side effects and health-promoting characteristics, it is used worldwide. The range of ginseng's effects on the human body is truly wide. It is assumed that ginseng is responsible for: – antioxidation, – mood improvement, – boosting immunity, – inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, – increasing vitality and stimulation, – accelerating wound healing, – strengthening the nervous system, – increasing appetite in anorexics and oncology patients, – lowering blood sugar levels, – improving erection and libido.
Application
For preventive purposes, it is recommended to apply ginseng in quantities ranging from 200 to 400 mg per day. However, certain studies indicate that smaller doses (around 40 mg) have more beneficial effects on the human body. These dosages should be applied exclusively to products where the concentration of the plant extract ranges between 2 and 3%. As previously mentioned, side effects are exceptionally rare. However, if they do occur, they manifest in the form of abdominal pain, nausea, stomach cramps, or vomiting.
