Panax quinquefolius American ginseng (root)
"Ginseng" that is produced in the United States and
Canada is particularly prized in Chinese societies, and many ginseng
packages are prominently colored red, white, and blue. According
to Traditional Chinese/Korean Medicine, American Ginseng promotes Yin
energy, cleans excess Yang in the body, calms the body. The reason it has
been claimed that American ginseng promotes Yin (shadow, cold, negative,
female) while East Asian ginseng promotes Yang (sunshine, hot, positive,
male) is that, according to traditional Korean medicine, things living in
cold places are strong in Yang and vice versa, so that the two are balanced.
Chinese/Korean ginseng grows in northeast China and Korea, the coldest area
known to Korean in the old time, so ginseng from there is supposed to be
very Yang. And originally, American ginseng was imported into China via
subtropical Canton, the seaport next to Hong Kong, so Chinese doctors
believed that American ginseng must be good for Yin, because it came from a
hot area. However they did not know that American ginseng can only grow in
temperate regions.
The ginseng is sliced, a few slices are soaked in hot
water to make a tea. Most North American ginseng is produced in the
Canadian provinces of Ontario and British Columbia and the American state of
Wisconsin, according to Agri-food Canada. P. quinquefolius is now also grown
in northern China. A randomized, double-blind study shows that
American ginseng reduces influenza cases in the elderly when compared to
placebo. [more] |
Many Native American tribes used
American ginseng, Panax quinquefolia. Medicinal uses ranged from digestive disorders to sexual problems. The Chinese began to use American ginseng after it was imported during the 1700s. The traditional applications in China are somewhat different from those for Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), American ginseng being considered a better stomachic. The type and ratio of ginsenosides are somewhat different in American and Asian ginseng, but not radically different. Pharmacologically, ginseng is nonspecific in its effects and is capable of a normalizing action irrespective of the pathological situation. Ginseng's ginsenosides are believed to increase energy, counter the effects of stress, and enhance intellectual and physical performance. Thirteen ginsenosides have been identified in Asian ginseng. Ginsenosides Rgl and Rbl have received the most attention. Other constituents include the panaxans, which help lower blood sugar, and the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules), which support immune function. Numerous double-blind studies have confirmed Chinese tradition, objectively demonstrating Asian ginseng's ability to lower blood sugar, reduce fatigue and stress, and support the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the hormonal stress system of the body. Ginseng's support of the brain's production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) appears to improve mental performance, learning, and memory and sensory awareness, exactly as Chinese tradition has always maintained. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs, reflecting the opinion of modern scientific herbalism, recommends Ginseng root [Panax ginseng] 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility, for declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut root for teas, powder and galenical preparations for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible
