Return To Ginseng Article Archive   Using Siberian Ginseng to Improve Your Health By Colin Albert Amongst the most commonly used of all Chinese herbal medicines is Siberian Ginseng, which has a history of use for about 2,000 years. But it was not until fifty years ago that the West became acquainted with the myriad of possible benefits associated with Siberian Ginseng, whose dried or fresh root became the source of numerous herbal remedies. It was also during this time that Soviet athletes began to use Siberian Ginseng as past of their regimen to enhance their overall performance. Concurrently an increasing amount of people have started to associate the herb with a variety of benefits and actions. Native to China, Japan, Korea and eastern Russia, Siberian Ginseng, although capable of being grown from the seed, is quite difficult to germinate. During the autumn season, the root is lifted and dried - and later chopped up to produce a variety of medicinal uses. Throughout Chinese medicine, Siberian Ginseng was viewed as a valuable source for uplifting the 'qi'and treating a 'yang' deficiency regarding the kidney and spleen. The Chinese also used Siberian Ginseng to treat insomnia. Possible Siberian Ginseng Benefits Siberian Ginseng possesses a wide range of properties, including antiviral characteristics that help individuals fight disease. As a stimulant, the plant works to boost the immune system and circulation. Some use the plant as an aphrodisiac to treat sexual dysfunction - both in men and increasingly in women - and ease the symptoms of impotence. When used as a tonic, the adrenal hormones also receive stimulation. In regards to the blood, Siberian Ginseng may regulate high blood pressure and lower blood sugar levels, which is especially helpful in diabetic patients. Students and employees have turned towards the plant in an effort to improve their concentration, focus, and overall mental activity. Siberian Ginseng is also promoted as an energy-booster in many circles. The plant is known to assist the body in coping with elevated levels of stress and, in turn, works to prevent additional tension. This enhanced ability to deal with stress is seen on both a mental and physical level. As a result of decreasing physical stress, the stamina seen in athletes may experience as much as a 9% improvement in their resilience when taking Siberian Ginseng. The possible uses and benefits of Siberian Ginseng seem never-ending, as the plant has even been given to astronauts in an attempt to counter the effects they experience during weightlessness. Suggested Uses While taking up to one gram of Siberian Ginseng pills or capsules is quite common, individuals may create a home remedy called a tincture, where ten drops are taken three times per day. Powder capsules are known to effectively combat long-term stress. Additional forms of the plant include solid extracts, liquid extracts, tablets, and teas. As a rule of thumb, Siberian Ginseng produces better results when used before stressful or medical issues arise, rather than waiting for the thick of a crisis to mount. While Siberian Ginseng works well on its own, combining the plant with saw palmetto or oats helps to elevate its effectiveness. While the benefits of Siberian Ginseng are many, one should avoid caffeine intake when taking it, so as to bypass the very rare potential of side effects that are more likely to occur when caffeine intake is combined with exceeding recommended doses. Colin Albert works with the Euphoria for Women website. The site provides information on female sexual dysfunction and features a natural product containing Siberian Ginseng that acts as a natural libido enhancer, for women of all ages & levels of sexual activity. keywords: Siberian Ginseng | Ginseng American Ginseng Tea
