Planetary Formulas Ginseng Revitalizer(42 Tabs)
Ginseng is a legendary tonifier, first written about during the Sui Dynasty of China (580-601 A.D.). In traditional Chinese herbalism it is rarely used alone, but rather is combined with herbs considered to assist and augment its tonifying actions. Planetary Herbals GINSENG REVITALIZER is based on a classic formula that has been in continued use since 1078 A.D. This dynamic combination is designed to support energy levels without the use of stimulantsfor long-lasting vitality and well-being. There are numerous “energizers” available in health food stores, but too many are herbal stimulants, offering a quick uplift with a long-term downside.
These substances stimulate the adrenal response, often with negative effects, such as nervousness, increased stress, and eventual exhaustion. Stimulants mobilize energy, but add nothing of value to our bodies; on the contrary, they can rapidly lead to depletion of vitality.
Treatment claims for Asian ginseng are numerous and include the use of the herb to support overall health and boost the immune system. Traditional and modern uses of ginseng include:
- Improving the health of people recovering from illness
- Increasing a sense of well-being and stamina, and improving both mental and physical performance
- Treating erectile dysfunction, hepatitis C, and symptoms related to menopause
- Lowering blood glucose and controlling blood pressure
The English word ginseng derives from the Chinese term rénshen simplified:; traditional:, literally "man root" (referring to the root's characteristic forked shape, resembling the legs of a man). The difference between rénshen and "ginseng" is explained by the fact that the English pronunciation derives from a Japanese reading of these Chinese characters. However, the current Japanese word for these characters (ninjin) means carrot, and ginseng is referred to in Japanese as chosen ninjin. The Korean name is goryo insam. The botanical name Panax means "all-heal" in Greek, and was applied to this genus because Linnaeus was aware of its wide use in Chinese medicine.
Both American and Panax (Asian) ginseng rhizomes are taken orally as adaptogens, aphrodisiacs, nourishing stimulants, and in the treatment of type II diabetes, including sexual dysfunction in men. The rhizome is most often available in dried form, either in whole or sliced form. Ginseng leaf, although not as highly prized, is sometimes also used; as with the rhizome it is most often available in dried form.
This ingredient may also be found in some popular Energy Drinks: usually the "tea" varieties or Functional Foods. Usually ginseng is in subclinical doses and it does not have measurable medicinal effects. It can be found in cosmetic preparations as well, with similar lack of effect. It is considered a wasteful use of important herbs by herbalists.Ginseng root can be double steamed with chicken meat as a soup.
