Effects of Ginseng on stress
Intense mental exertion or physical labour can be a form of stress for the body. It has been shown that ginseng improves the physical resistance to stress, increasing the ability to cope with stressful conditions and work more effectively.

Ginseng and menopause
Several researchers in Japan and Germany have discovered that ginseng can reduce menopausal symptoms, especially the hot flushes and changes in mood. In particular the Yin (=cooling) properties of American ginseng can relieve women who suffer from “hot” flushes. Many women who use ginseng to relieve menopausal complaints, remark after using ginseng for a time, “I have fewer hot flushes.”

Extra energy
Many people suffer from lack of energy, listlessness and depression. At times it seems that even daily activities are too much of an effort. What these people really need is a pick-me-up. Could it be that ginseng is just the pick-me-up they need?

The heart en vascular system
The main risk factors for arteriosclerosis are hyperlipidaemie (an increased amount of fat in the blood) and high blood pressure. It is a fact that ginseng is able to decrease the amount of fat in the blood, in healthy people as well as by those with a higher than normal amount of fat in the blood.

Ginseng and the ageing process
During this century life expectancy has increased dramatically in all parts of the world. This is mainly the result of improved hygiene and medical treatment. Although this is great news, ageing is still often accompanied by a number of physical and mental disabilities. Can ginseng help relieve these problems? And can ginseng help increase life expectancy even more?

Faster elimination of foreign substances
Worldwide scientific research has shown that ginseng has a beneficial effect on the detoxification of the body. The liver plays a very important role in this detoxification.
