Chinese Herbal Medicine: Siberian Ginseng

August 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment

There are many types of ginseng. A very popular type that is also a chinese herbal medicine is the Siberian ginseng. It is found in the Siberian province of Russia. It is not the same as the Korean (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng varieties. The root is not harvested until it is two or more years old; the older the root, the higher its value.

Siberian Ginseng is highly regarded in China. Its value has been held in esteem for thousands of years. In many ancient stories, it is said to command a higher price than gold. It contains niacin, amino acids, carbohydrates and other vitamins and minerals, which helps to promote total wellness.

Siberian Ginseng is said to nutritionally support the glandular system due to the presence of eleutherosides. The eleutherosides are a range of glycosides with aromatic alcohol aglycones. The glycosides appear to work on the adrenal glands, preventing adrenal hypertrophy and excess corticosteroid production in response to stress.

Thus, the presence of eleutherosides help reduce stress and has the ability to return the adrenals to normal function faster. It has a beneficial effect on the heart and circulation and helps to increase energy and stamina and to help the body fight viral infections, environmental toxins and the effects of chemotherapy.

Siberian Ginseng is a wonderful aide to memory, concentration and cognitive abilities which may be impaired from poor blood supply to the brain. Lastly, this chinese [tag-tec]herbal medicine[/tag-tec] is popularly used in cases of debility, depression, fatigue and nervous breakdowns.

If you suffer from migraine headaches, have heart trouble or feel tired all the time, you may want to explore the many uses for ginseng. Ginseng is an all-natural [tag-tec]chinese herbal medicine[/tag-tec]. Here are some purported health benefits of using ginseng:

1. Improve memory. Your brain is made up of many blood vessels. Taking ginseng improves the blood circulation through all of the parts of your body, including your brain. That extra added boost can help you to concentrate better, think faster and improve your attention to detail.

2. Use as an aphrodisiac. The chinese love this herbal medicine because it can help stimulate blood flow, increase energy and hence restore sexual drive. So, if you are male, or you know a male who could use a sexual boost, a little ginseng certainly won’t hurt.

3. Migraine relief. Since it stimulates blood circulation, another of the uses for ginseng is ridding you of annoying headaches, or at least somewhat reducing headache pain. Taking ginseng will help to open up constricted vessels in your head and allow better blood flow.

5. Promotes relaxation. Ginseng is said to help you relax and hence is a good antitode if you cannot sleep. It is also useful in cases of chronic fatigue and low energy levels.

6. Reduces diabetic symptoms. Ginseng appears to help people with diabetes. A limited study performed in March 2000 at the University of Toronto showed that ginseng could lower blood sugar 20% more than placebo.

Ginseng, like all other herbs or foods, should be taken in moderation. You should also not be completely reliant on this traditonal chinese [tag-dtec]herbal medicine [/tag-dtec]for curing your ailments. You should talk to your doctor if you have a serious illness, but you may want to try taking a bit of ginseng along with traditional treatment.
