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 Clinic1 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.2 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 non-insulin-dependent diabetes.3, 4 Administration: Adults: Take 1-3 ml (30-90 drops) 3 times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
