Ginseng
Ginseng affects the body in a very positive manner. Ginseng helps by directly affecting the Adrenal-Pituitary axis, which effect is most often manifested as increased resistance to the effects of stress. It appears to affect the immune control center of the central nervous system, directly and indirectly through adrenocortical hormones, toning, increasing output, or simply restoring equilibrium. Blood parameters, including pressure, glucose levels, insulin levels and white blood cell count, are stabilized, i.e., reduced or raised as needed in order to restore homeostasis. Analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory action will occur when needed. Ginseng either thins the blood or increases its clotting ability depending on circumstances. Studies from around the world show that ginseng strengthens the heart, stimulates recovery from surgery and debilitating infectious disease, and otherwise helps people to overcome the effects of physiological stress.
