| The Benefits of Ginseng |
| |
| Under Australian law we cannot make claims as to the effectiveness of Ginseng because we do not carry out clinic trials. |
| However the internet will provide you with a plethora of information on Ginseng health benefits and medical papers. A very brief summary would highlight - |
| |
- Energy giving and a feeling of wellbeing |
- Increase Libido (sexual energy) |
- Calming of the nervous system |
- Supporting the body's immune system |

| History has recorded Ginseng use in China from the time of emperor Sheng Nung 2800BC (4800+ years ago). The emperor was one of the first to record the use of Ginseng and other herbal plants. Chinese medicine uses herbs in combination with acupressure, acupuncture, and qi gong, also known as traditional Chinese medicine T.C.M. The aim of T.C.M is to assist the body in correcting energy imbalances, which is why herbs are classified according to certain active characteristics such as cooling, heating, moisterising or drying. |
