In China, ginseng is classified as a kingly herb, a mild herb with no harmful side-effects, that helps the body maintain peak health. Many Asians view ginseng as a regenerative elixir that, if taken over a period of time, can not only increase health and vitality but can also prolong life. It is believed that ginseng makes the body more resistant to disease, prevents decline in potency in older men, restores virility, increase general vitality and can negate some effects of stress. It is said to give the sick more strength, energy and stamina.

Mechanism

The roots of Asian and American ginseng contain several saponins named ginsenosides that are believed to contribute to the adaptogenic properties. They are used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve stamina and combat fatigue and stress. Saponins are interesting natural compounds found in many plants, herbs, roots, and beans. Saponins have potential in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the heart and circulatory system. For instance, they inhibit the formation of lipid peroxides (fat oxidation) in cardiac muscle or in the liver, they influence the function of enzymes contained in them, they decrease blood coagulation, cholesterol, and sugar levels in blood, and they stimulate the immune system. Some saponins may even have anti-tumor properties.

Safety

Ginseng is a mild herb and is considered to be extremely safe. Negative side-effects are virtually nonexistent. It is not a stimulant and does not cause feelings of over excitement, agitation or insomnia, when taken responsibly. However, it has been reported that large doses of ginseng can cause nausea, high blood pressure, sleeplessness, restlessness and sexual arousal. The recommended daily dose is small and large doses of ginseng are not recommended or necessary.

Dosage and administration of ginseng

Ginseng can be purchased readily as a whole root (dried, peeled), a dried powder or a standardized extract. Standardized Panax ginseng contains 4-5% ginsenosides, and standardized Siberian ginseng contains 0.5-1.0% eleutherosides. Standardized extracts are often taken at a rate of 100 to 200 milligrams daily. As a dried root, 500 to 2000 mg daily should be taben. For recovering from an illness, the elderly should take 500 mg twice daily for three months. As an antistress/antifatigue agent, 200-600 mg/day of standardized extract, preferably in divided doses, or 0.5-2 gm/day of powdered root. Ginseng is commonly taken for long periods.
