What Is Ginseng?
There are 11 species of ginseng, all belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae; The botanical name Panax means “all heal” in Greek. The name “ginseng” is used to refer to both American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng). The true ginseng plant belongs only to the Panax genus, so other species, such as Siberian ginseng and crown prince ginseng, have distinctively different functions.
The unique and beneficial compounds of the Panax species are called ginsenosides, and they’re currently under clinical research to investigate their potential for medical use. Both Asian and American ginseng contain ginsenosides, but they include different types in different amounts. Research has varied, and some experts aren’t yet convinced that there’s enough data to label the medical capabilities of ginseng, but for centuries people have believed in its beneficial compounds and results.
The benefits of Ginseng out weigh most of the negative side effects in taking this herb. However, before you decide to start taking Ginseng for health benefits, you may want to speak to your doctor first. They can give you advice on if you should take Ginseng and if you do how much you should take.
Also realize that in a lot of cases when taking Ginseng, that you will probably have to change your lifestyle habits as well especially if you are taking them to lower your blood pressure and your sugar levels. Exercise along with better eating habits (and taking Ginseng) working together can also lower your levels as well.
Overall, taking Ginseng for health purposes is basically harmless, just do your homework, see your doctor and be aware of all the side effects that it could have on your health.
