What is ginseng?

Ginseng is a plant root that has a long history of use as a medicinal herb. It is known and widely used to reduce feelings of fatigue. It has also been reported that ginseng may help increase energy, support spleen and lung health, nourish blood and calm the mind.

There are two main types of ginseng: Korean and American. American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is thought to have a more calming effect and may support cognitive function and stress relief, whereas Korean (Asian ginseng or Panax ginseng) is thought to be more stimulating, supporting energy and vitality​.

What are the benefits of ginseng?

Various studies have found that ginseng may benefit those experiencing fatigue as it may help improve physical function. It’s been shown that individuals experiencing disease-related fatigue may find it particularly beneficial. 

There may also be a benefit for those who are experiencing inflammation and lowered sexual function, as they may also find ginseng helpful.

Those experiencing menopausal symptoms have also reported a reduction in symptoms such as hot flushes after taking ginseng, saying that it may help improve their quality of life.

Some promising research shows ginseng has the potential to assist with the prevention and treatment of respiratory conditions. 

Taking a ginseng supplement may also be useful for those with high blood pressure and those who need support stabilising blood glucose levels. Of course, individuals with health concerns should only take herbal supplements in consultation with their healthcare professional.

How much ginseng should you take? 

Research shows that American ginseng has no serious side effects. However, before taking ginseng supplements, it’s a good idea to check with your healthcare professional, particularly if you have a health condition or take medication or other herbal supplements. Always follow instructions and do not exceed the prescribed dose of ginseng.
