Description of herb
Ginseng (Panax ginseng) - a perennial herb 30-60 cm tall grows naturally in the eastern regions of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces in northeastern China, as well as in eastern Russia in the Ussuri River region, the Maritime Region and in the southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai and in the mountains of North Korea.
The underground part consists of a massive root head, from which grow 1-2 sparsely branched roots, reaching a length of up to 20 cm and a thickness of up to 3 cm. Ginseng's roots resemble the human body and contain a wide range of active ingredients that have made it probably the most famous medicinal plant and is now widespread throughout the world as a means of complementary treatment and nutrition. The root is either dried in the sun to form the so-called white Ginseng (Radix Ginseng album) or steamed in a sugar or herbal infusion and then completely dried with artificial heat, creating the so-called red Ginseng (Radix Ginseng rubrum). For use, it is usually sliced or powdered to make ginseng extracts, syrups and tablets.

Healing effects
Antitumor effects of Ginseng
Ginseng has numerous beneficial effects in any stressful situation, including cancer. However, ginseng also appears to have the ability to promote cancer treatment with a direct anti-tumor effect.
Antitumor effects can be divided into three areas:
- direct cytotoxic and antitumor effect
- inhibition of metastasis and reduction of tumor cell malignancy
- inhibition of vascular growth in tumors
Ginseng as a medicine for cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction)
Ginseng is an extremely effective remedy for hypertension (high blood pressure). As one of the few drugs, in addition to reducing pressure, it also offers long-term regeneration of the cardiovascular system and treatment of related diseases (atherosclerosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome).
Cardiovascular effects of Ginseng
Ginseng activates the vascular endothelium and NO synthase III. The protective and activating effect of a mixture of ginsenosides on the endothelium has been known for many decades. Ginsenosides increase NO synthesis, prevent endothelial damage and protect against myocardial infarction. Ginseng causes a direct reduction in blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. Two of the ginseng ingredients, ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rg3, act on the nitric oxide molecular signaling cascade. The effect of vasodilation and improvement of axillary is shared by Ginseng with sildenafil (Viagra). Unlike sildenafil, which increases the sensitivity of vascular muscles to nitric oxide (NO), ginseng facilitates the production of NO by the cells of the vascular lining (endothelium).
Ginseng in the treatment of varicose veins and hemorrhoids
Hundreds of scientific papers have been published on the healing effect of Ginseng on the heart and arteries, and it is not surprising that Ginseng also has a healing effect on veins, especially the veins of the lower extremities, which are very similar in structure to arteries. The mechanisms of the healing effect of ginseng on varicose veins are the strengthening of healing processes through the nitric oxide (NO) pathway and the reduction of leukocyte adhesion to the venous wall.
The effect of Ginseng on potency and fertility
Most men taking Ginseng experience a noticeable and relatively long-term improvement in their erections. However, as in many other cases, Ginseng has been shown to have several independent positive effects in the area of sex and fertility. It's not just an easily noticeable improvement in erection. With its other effects, Ginseng contributes to the improvement of the overall physical and mental condition and vigor, which is positively reflected in the entire process of intimate intercourse from the very beginning. With this versatile effect, Ginseng falls far beyond what is commonly referred to as an aphrodisiac.
Neuroprotective effects of Ginseng
Ginseng has been shown to have a positive effect on the mental functions of healthy individuals, but also protective effects against brain cell death in the face of aging stress, intoxication (such as alcohol) or in disease states such as stroke. At least some of these protective effects appear to be due to the anti-inflammatory and sedative effect of panaxosides on microglia - modified CNS-based macrophages.
Ginseng in flu prevention
Ginseng increases resistance to influenza and other viral diseases, improves the effectiveness of vaccination and is also used in the treatment of already developed diseases. Ginseng directs the attention of the immune system more towards a cytotoxic response at the expense of an antibody response. This means that our immune system will be more concerned about viral infections and tumor growth under the influence of Ginseng.
Active substances
Ginseng contains mainly saponins, antioxidants, polysaccharides and peptides. As early as 1854, the first glycoside was isolated from Ginseng and named panaquilone. In 1906, the first saponin, panaxin, was isolated. Since then, more than 70 different saponins have been isolated from Ginseng. These are collectively referred to as ginsenosides or panaxosides. Maltol, salicylic acid and vanilla acid are the main antioxidants in Ginseng. The acidic polysaccharide ginsan was also isolated from the root of ginseng, which, among other things, has been shown to have a significant stimulating effect on the immune system.
The main component of Ginseng is its glycosides called Ginsenosides and a large spectrum
- Amino acids
- Peptides
- Polysaccharides
- Vitamins
- Daukosterin
The whole spectrum of individual ginsenoside subforms differs precisely in their pharmacological activity. They are derivatives of protopanaxadiol, protopanaxatriol and oleanolic acid monodesmoside.
