Natural American Ginseng 1 enhance the immune system 2 adjust bodily systems 3 increase endurance.
American ginseng is traditionally used for energy, stress relief, enhancing the immune system, adjusting bodily systems and increasing endurance. American ginseng is a yin (cool) tonic, for those who are yang (hot) in nature. It is a long-term general tonic used in all seasons for both sexes and all ages.
American ginseng is classified as an adaptogen. An adaptogen acts to normalize the bodily functions by allowing the body to utilize other substances more efficiently and by helping to eliminate thosesubstances that are toxic. Ginseng is a whole body tonic to tonify all organs. It also adjusts and enhances their functions by bringing them back into "synch". As a result, ginseng helps to alleviate stress which is a common cause of illness.
American ginseng contains dammarane-type ginsenosides as the major biologically active constituents. Dammarane-type ginsenosides include two classifications: 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (ppd) and 20(S)-protopanaxatriol (ppt). American ginseng contains high levels of Rb1, Rd (ppd classification) and Re (ppt classification) ginsenosides—higher than that of P. ginseng in one study.
One study in laboratory animals showed possible effects of ginseng or its ginsenoside components on the central nervous system and gonadal tissues and another on penile erection.
Dose and usage:
10 to 20 grams of ginseng can be used each time for the preparation of steamed tonic tea, or cut it in small pieces, chew and eat. Another convenient way is just putting the sliced ginseng into a cup or vacuum flask with boiling water, cover and soak for about 15 minutes and then drink the water.
