Panax Means “Cure-All”

American ginseng (Panax quinquifolia) is a well-known adaptogen that helps us to adapt to stressful influences and restore balance. It helps to strengthen the adrenal and reproductive glands and enhances immune and lung function. Ginseng is also a stomach tonic that stimulates the appetite, especially in nervous conditions, and improves digestion making it a good recommendation for people whose digestion is upset by stress.

In China, where ginseng has been used for thousands of years, this amazing man-shaped root has a reputation for promoting longevity and good health. It is considered to be a men’s herb, especially for improving sexual performance, but it can restore sexual energy for both men and women and has a reputation as an aphrodisiac.

Germany’s Commission E has officially recognized ginseng as therapeutic for concentration and alertness, convalescence and lack of energy. Ginseng may also be useful for bronchitis, circulatory problems, diabetes and infertility, especially when these conditions are caused or exacerbated by stress

Athletes may find ginseng improves performance because it can improve overall body strength, promotes efficient absorption and utilization of oxygen and increase resistance to fatigue, stress and disease. It increases endurance but does not excite like amphetamines or disturb normal sleep patterns. Ginseng even helps to improve coordination. It takes about two weeks for the benefits to show and about a month for peak levels to be achieved.

Ginseng helps the body to adapt to stress and corrects adrenal and thyroid function and can be especially useful for people stressed by chronic illness, especially of the cardiovascular system, and for post-surgical recovery. (People who are not out of balance, so to speak, may not notice any effect because it is specifically for adaptation to stressful conditions.) Ginseng is also a cardio tonic, an immune stimulant that enhances NK cell activity, it may help to lower blood sugar and protect against radiation exposure. In addition, it stimulates liver cell regeneration and the production of liver enzymes. Ginseng also tones the skin and muscles. As if that’s not enough, it may be helpful for people withdrawing from cocaine abuse. It is easy to see why its official name is Panax, from the Greek word for “cure all.
