American Ginseng
Panax quinquefolius
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is indigenous to North America. It grows
primarily in the Eastern United States and Canada in sub-canopy deciduous
forest. It has a long history of use by both Native American people and in China
where it has been exported for over a 100 years. Today, it is a very common herb
sold around the world and its popularity is growing.
The main active ingredients of Ginseng (American and Chinese) are the more than
20 saponin triterpenoid glycosides, called 'ginsenosides'. The American Ginseng
is rich in the Rb1 group of ginsenosides, which have a more sedative and
metabolic effect on the central nervous system ('yin' energy). Chinese Ginseng
is higher in the Rg1 group of ginsenosides, which are more arousing and
stimulating ('yang' energy). Normalizing
system levels of the body, American Ginseng has been used to lower cholesterol,
increase energy levels, balance the metabolism, and stimulate the immune system.
American Ginseng may also be used to alleviate fatigue, relieve nervousness and
reduce stress, especially after acute illnesses. American Ginseng increases
oxygenation to the cells and tissues, stimulating the regeneration of damaged
cells. For this reason,
American Ginseng is commonly used to enhance the feeling of overall well being,
stimulating the nervous system, brain and heart. The cooling and
anti-inflammatory properties found in American Ginseng may also be used to help
reduce fevers and relieve respiratory problems, including dry coughing and
wheezing.
