What's the cure for everything?

In the 19th century, the dried roots of ginseng were worth more than its gold value. This plant has been considered a miracle cure for many ailments for centuries, and its name is very often translated as omnipotent.

1. It's the female of the Asian universe

Ginseng is a plant in the aralia family that is native to Asia (northeastern China, Japan, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and eastern Russia). The term panax comes from the Greek word for "all wounds", which may confirm why this plant is sometimes referred to as an omnivore. The berries of the plant are most often yellowish-red in color, although some varieties have a different color. The plant's texture is initially sweet, but after a moment it becomes bitter.

2. What do you know about ginseng?

In traditional Asian medicine, the roots of ginseng have been used for over several millennia. Despite proven studies that exclude some of the effects it has on the human body, this plant is effectively used in many preparations. Due to its good tolerance by the human organism, virtually negligible side effects and pro-health properties are used worldwide.

3. Application

For preventive purposes, ginseng should be used in doses of 200 to 400 mg per day. However, some studies show that smaller doses (about 40 mg) have more beneficial effects for the human body. These doses should only apply to preparations where the concentration of plant extract ranges from 2 to 3%. As mentioned earlier, side effects are very rare. But once they do occur, they manifest themselves in the form of abdominal pain, nausea, stomach cramps or vomiting.
