With a long history of medicinal use in the West, American ginseng is a marvelously effective adaptogenic (balancing) tonic that acts as a stimulant and systemic restorative. It has been used traditionally to invigorate and fortify the mind and body in times of fatigue and debility.

This herb improves resistance to stress and helps remedy a declining capacity to work. It also reduces mental fatigue from overwork. Not only does it speed convalescence in the wake of illness, but in those who are healthy it enhances exercise performance and recovery.

Various research studies have shown that American ginseng has a calming effect on the cerebral cortex of the brain and that it improves concentration and memory. In fact, a monograph made available by the Mayo Clinic suggests there is “good scientific evidence” to support the use of ginseng for improving mental performance, thinking and learning. These attributes make American ginseng valuable as well for the adjunctive treatment of symptoms associated with ADD and ADHD

The versatility of this herb is such that it is also considered beneficial for the treatment of male fertility problems and impotence. A study of 46 men has shown an increase in sperm count as well as motility. In the area of sexual performance, research suggests that American ginseng actually alters brain chemistry to produce its effect.

Other studies demonstrate its effectiveness in lowering blood sugar, which makes it a useful adjunctive treatment along with dietary change for type 2 diabetes.

Administration:

30-90 drops (1-3ml), three times daily, in a little water with meals.

Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are taking blood thinners, vasodilators (dilate the vascular system to treat heart conditions), and any product to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder), anti hypertensives (for high blood pressure), or if you have diabetes.

A Note On Tinctures

Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.

Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.

As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!

Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.
