What Is In Ginseng And How Does It Work?
The action of Ginseng is attributed a combination of groups of glycosides, ginsenosides, and saponins. The net effect of these compounds is to provide "adaptogenic" support for the person taking Ginseng. It may seem loosely conceived, but the adaptogenic effects of Ginseng are well supported by good research. According to The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, 1 the term "adaptogen" has a specific set of criteria that must be satisfied before it can properly be attributed to a substance. These criteria, as stated in the above Encyclopedia, are that the substance:
- Must be innocuous and cause minimal disorders in the physiological functions of an organism
- Must have a nonspecific action (i.e., it should increase resistance to adverse influences by a wide range of physical, chemical, and biochemical factors)
- Usually has a normalizing action irrespective of the direction of the pathologic state
According to all of the research we have seen, Ginseng is a qualifying substance par excellence!
Ginseng's Track Record
Ginseng has been:
- used by Soviet Cosmonauts in place of amphetamines (used by U.S. astronauts),
- used by Olympic athletes and was demonstrated to improve athletic performance by improving the body's ability to utilize oxygen,
- demonstrated to lessen the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy--it was distributed widely to those exposed to radiation during the Chernobyl accident, and
- shown to increase the activity and production of T lymphocytes.
