The Best Natural Energy-Booster
Too many of us drag through our days exhausted, worn out from the demands of work, family, home and other pressures.
The best energy-producing supplement is Ginseng, an adaptogen, a class of natural substances with a unique ability to restore equilibrium throughout the body. It takes a while for the full effects to kick in . . . But once they do, the benefits can be substantial. For over 2000 years, Ginseng has been used as a natural nutritional remedy to bolster vitality!
The problem of energy depletion is that too much stress blocks up our energy-producing machinery. Here’s how this process occurs: Cellular energy is generated in the mitochondria, tiny structures within each cell that turn nutrients into energy, which is stored in the form of the molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate (CP). But when we’re under stress, our bodies release a surge of hormones such as adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. The stress response can damage the mitochondria and hampers cells’ ability to produce the ATP and CP they need – setting off a vicious cycle in which underfed cells become even more vulnerable to stress.
The adaptogenic nutritionals help by improving cells’ production of ATP and CP. They also improve the function of other systems that affect energy, enhancing the body’s own ability to deliver oxygen to cells and reducing oxidative damage that can harm the mitochondria.
Next time you’re feeling exhausted and in need of a pick-me-up, reach for this energy-booster . . . GINSENG
Ginseng (panax) has been most thoroughly researched of the adaptogenic nutritionals. Ginsenosides, a class of molecules it contains, are thought to keep cortisol and other stress hormones from surging out of control, thereby preventing chronic stress from draining energy. Ginseng also relaxes blood vessels, which should maximize oxygen delivery to cells throughout the body.
Recommended dosages about 100 to 700 milligrams a day, taken in divided doses twice a day (just don’t take it at night, as it may interfere with sleep). You’re more likely to get results at the higher doses. Ginseng acts slowly; expect to wait a few weeks to feel the full effects.
New Study In Japan Reports... Herbal Medicines Are Valuable For Treatment Of Gastrointestinal Diseases
Herbal medicines could benefit patients suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders that cannot be treated using conventional drug therapy.
In a new study published in Neurogastroenterology and Motility, researchers reviewed data on Japanese herbal medicines and found them to be effective in reducing the symptoms of GI disorders such as functional dyspepsia, constipation, and postoperative ileus.
Japanese herbal medicines have been used in East Asia for thousands of years explained the researchers at the Keio University School of Medicine. Their review of the world medical literature reveals that herbal medicines serve a valuable role in the management of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.
Many of the drugs used to treat GI motility disorders are ineffective or cause unwanted side effects. In some cases, this has led to drugs being withdrawn from the market. Herbal medicine is recognised an attractive, low cost alternative.
The researchers reviewed data from studies looking at the effect of several different Japanese herbal medicines including the use of mixture of Ginseng, Ginger, and Zanthoxylum fruit was effective in reducing discomfort caused by functional dyspepsia. The herbs were also beneficial for constipation in children and patients suffering from post-operative ileus - disruption of normal bowel movements following an operation. Another herbal medicine reduced the severity and frequency of diarrhoea caused by anti-cancer drugs.
The researchers explain that the health benefits of herbal formulations require more rigorous examination, particularly in the Western world. There is a mandate to provide accurate data regarding the effectiveness of non-traditional therapy to healthcare providers who face the dilemma of recommending or opposing management strategies that incorporate herbal medicine.

Korean Ginseng Is One Of The Most Highly Regarded Of Herbal Medicines In The Orient
Korean Ginseng has a history of herbal use going back over 5,000 years. It is one of the most highly regarded of herbal medicines in the Orient, where it has gained an almost magical reputation for being able to promote health, general body vigour and also to prolong life. The genus name Panax is derived from the Greek word meaning "panacea" or "all-healing"; the species Ginseng is said to mean "wonder of the world". Both terms refer to the medicinal virtues of the Ginseng root. In the last decade it has gained popularity in the West and there is extensive literature on the beneficial effects of Ginseng and its constituents.
Ginseng has been recommended by herbalists in the Orient as useful in the treatment of anemia, depression, diabetes, fatigue, hypertension, insomnia, stress, and chronic illness. It has been said to act as a stimulant, promote endurance, help relax the nervous system, improve mental awareness, encourage proper hormonal functions, improve lipid levels, lower cholesterol, and help increase resistance to disease. It has also been used in Oriental medicine to help increase the appetite, boost energy, as well as helping regulate womens' menstrual cycle and treating periodontal disease. It is also now believed Ginkgo Biloba is especially effective when combined with Korean (Panax) Ginseng.
Research has shown that Ginseng may have the ability to act as an adaptogenic herbal supplement. Research continues to support Ginseng's protective role against anti-cancer treatments and drugs, perhaps even countering the side effects of chemotherapy. Ginseng may be useful for the prevention of abuse and dependence of opioids and psychostimulants.
Latin Name: Panax Ginseng
Ginseng helps increase capillary circulation in the brain and decreases the effects of stress. Although there are many types of Ginseng in the world, they cannot rival Korean Ginseng's natural beneficial ingredients. It contains many different ginsenosides while the others contain less.
Korean Ginseng contains anti-ageing nutrients such as anti-oxidants and insulin-like substances which are not typically found in any other type of Ginseng.
Ginsenosides are the key constituents of Ginseng. They are a diverse group of steroidal saponins, which demonstrate the ability to target a myriad of tissues, producing an array of pharmacological responses. However, many mechanisms of ginsenoside activity still remain unknown. Since ginsenosides and other constituents of Ginseng produce effects that are different from one another, and a single ginsenoside initiates multiple actions in the same tissue, the overall pharmacology of Ginseng is remains complex.
In Western herbal medicine, Korean (Panax) Ginseng's regulating effects on the immune system have been studied for potential effectiveness in preventing colds, flu and other viral infections. In clinical studies, Korean Ginseng has been shown to lower blood levels of both sugar and cholesterol, therefore it may help treat type-2 diabetes and high cholesterol. In separate studies Ginseng demonstrated a beneficial, relaxing effect on muscles in the lungs. The resulting airway expansion may help relieve asthma symptoms and other lung conditions that result from constricted airways.
In other studies, a combination of Korean Ginseng and Gingko Biloba is believed to help boost memory and mental functioning. Early results from other laboratory studies show that natural constituants in Ginseng promote the growth of blood vessels.
Recent reports on the pharmacology of Ginseng indicate a wide range of effects, including influence on the central nervous system, endocrine and adrenocortical systems, internal, organs, metabolism, blood pressure and sugar, gonadotropic activity, cellular aging and tumors. Ginseng appears to relieve stress. The herb has been reported to be effective in prolonging survival time during cardiac arrest. It is reported to show hypoglycemic activity.
German Commission E monograph and WHO support the use of Ginseng as a prophylactic and restorative agent for enhancement of mental and physical capacities, in cases of weakness, exhaustion and loss of concentration and during convalescence (WHO, 1999). In general, Ginseng is used as a tonic, stimulant, aphrodisiac, immune booster, blood pressure modulator and a modulator of blood sugar level.
Notes: Ginseng should not be taken, without prior consultation with a doctor, if you:
- Are pregnant or breast-feeding
- Have diabetes
- Have high blood pressure or are taking:
- Anti-coagulants
- Diabetic medicine
- Diuretics
- Heart medicine
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
- Nervous system stimulantsPain killers
Higher than commonly recommended doses may cause nervousness, insomnia, headache, skin eruptions, stomach upset, and increased menstrual bleeding and breast tenderness. If you experience any of these reactions, reduce your dose or stop taking the herb.
