Ginseng

For example, Si Jun Zi Tang, a traditional Chinese formula, the main ingredient of which is ginseng, has been shown in multiple studies to have radioprotective effects, beneficial for anyone going through radiotherapy. In addition to its benefit as an immune enhancer, ginseng has traditionally been used for antioxidant properties, circulation and cardiovascular health, blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure, depression, menopause, male and female reproductive systems, erectile dysfunction, vision and hearing, physical and mental energy, and overall well-being. Recent studies by researchers at the University of Toronto have shown ginseng to be helpful in normalizing blood sugar levels in diabetics. “Since normalizing blood sugar levels is a critical goal of diabetes treatment, ginseng could someday be an important strategy in managing patients,” says Dr. Fran Kaufman, president of the American Diabetes Association. “There is no doubt that natural products such as ginseng have a role in controlling the body’s defective response to insulin,” says Kaufman, who is also head of the Center for Diabetes at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. According to the American Diabetes Association, poor control of blood sugar can lead to severely debilitating and even fatal complications including heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney disease.
