Ginsana provides curative properties
You’ve probably heard talk show
host Larry King’s commercials on
the product “Ginsana.”
Ginsana is a brand name for
ginseng extract in capsule form.
But what exactly is ginseng and
what can it do for us?
Ginseng is an aromatic herb
with a fleshy white root. It is this
root that accounts for Ginseng’s
curative properties.
In China and Korea the word
Ginseng is preceded by the Greek
work “panax” meaning “all
healing”. For several thousand
years the Chinese and Koreans have
been steaming and boiling Ginseng
roots to obtain whatever therapeutic
value they might possess. Modem
research tells us their valves are
attributed to substances called
saponins or Ginsenosides.
When purchasing a ginseng
product you can compare the
percentage of active ginsenocide
contained in many of the medicinal
claims of Ginseng as a cure-all are
the result of its adaptogenic effect.
Adaptogens are medicines which
increase all around resistance and
strengthen the entire body.
To be classified as an adaptogen,
a substence must meet the
following requirements:
•It should be non-toxic, creating
a minimal amount of disorder in the
physio logical functions of the
organism.
•Its action must be non-specific,
it could increase resistance to a wide
variety of influences-physical,
chemical and biological in nature.
•It should possess a normalizing
action irrespective of the direction
of the foregoing pathological
changes.
Adaptogens have a remarkable
normalizing homeostatic ability.
They return the body to normal
healthy condition no matter what
pathological changes are occurring
in the body previous to the
administration of the adaptogen.
As a normalizer, Ginseng has
been found to normalize the level of
arterial pressure and reduce blood
sugar levels in hyperglycemia and
increase blood sugar levels in
hypoglycemia. The fact that
ginseng can beneficially affect two
different opposite conditions such
as low blood sugar and diabetes is
convincing evidence of its truly
remarkable normalizing ability.
Ginseng’s greatest contribution
to man’s health is the ability to
