Return To Ginseng Article Archive   Ginseng As A Treatment For Prostate Cancer - How To Research The Medical Literature By Glenn Sheiner Many people today are interested in the use of herbs such as ginseng in the treatment of prostate cancer. People are certainly interested in whether or not the benefit of ginseng has been studied scientifically. Before we describe the scientific and medical literature on the use of Ginseng for the treatment of prostate cancer, here is a brief description of the different types of ginseng. Ginseng is a herbal remedy that has been used in Asia as a medicinal remedy for a long time. It's commonly used as a herbal preparation in traditional Chinese medicine. There are many types of ginseng freely available on the market today. However, there are really only 2 types of real ginseng: 1. Asian Ginseng (Panax Ginseng): and 2. North American Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolius). Both types of ginseng differ in their chemical composition. This different chemical composition appears to give each type of ginseng different biological properties.
