Exotic and with
extraordinary powers,Ginseng has been classified
as a hormonal catalyst. Many studies have shown that Ginseng
has a connection to the body's response to stress. It is intimately
involved with the endocrine system and adapts itself to the body's
needs at a particular time.
This brief introduction and overview of Ginseng should answer
basic What, Where, and Why questions regarding ginseng which
many call the root-of-life.
Ginseng was
discovered originally in the mountain provinces of
Manchuria over 5,000 years ago and was first used as a
food
substance and later for its strength-giving and rejuvenating
properties.
The oriental culture has for centuries practiced health maintenance
and disease prevention by treating the whole being. The (w)holistic
philosophy is based on regulating and balancing substances and
techniques for the achievement of overall good health and well-being.
Over 3,500 clinical studies by scientists in Sweden, United States,
Korea, Japan, and Russia conclude that Ginseng alters the body's
anatomical and biochemical response characteristics during the
alarm stage of stress; specifically it reduces the activation of the
adrenal cortex, limiting the shriveling of the thymus and lymph
glands therefore reducing the number of bleeding ulcers within the
stomach and lessening other destructive processes.
Many of these studies also indicate that Ginseng:
- Reduces the effects of most types of
stress
- Combats fatigue
- Slows down the aging process
- Rejuvenates glandular secretions
(hormones), therefore improving the metabolic function of the liver, kidneys, and
other organs.
- Aids the spleen in maintaining the
circulation of blood volume
and production of blood cells.
- Is beneficial to the lymphatic
glands
- Lessens the absorption and retention
of cholesterol
- Improves vision, hearing,
circulation
- Normalizes high blood sugar content
- Reduces moderately high blood
pressure
- Raises low blood pressure
- Fights atherosclerosis
- Regulates sleep cycles
Ginseng's true healing properties include: the ability to allow the
body not to overload on stress - by returning the hormones, glands
and organs to homeostasis (balance) as quickly as possible thus
reducing the wear and tear of stress on the body and therefore
inhibiting aging and chronic health problems. |
