Return To Ginseng Article Archive   Ginseng - A Little Man and a Potent Aphrodisiac By Avril Harper Under the so-called 'Doctrine of Similarities', because some alleged aphrodisiacs resemble various parts of the human body, early man considered they have aphrodisiacal qualities too, such as mandrake which is man-shaped, while other substances resemble the penis (rhinoceros horn, celery, asparagus), or testicles. One such herb, Ginseng, is one of the most widely accepted of all love potions, mainly because of its likeness to the human body. Formed like a little man, experts say in ancient times the plant was assumed to have mortal attributes. As a potent aphrodisiac ginseng was mentioned in the ancient medical book of India, The Atherva Veda which states: "seed that is poured into the female that forsooth is the way to bring forth a son .... the strength of the horse, the mule, the goat and the ram, moreover, the strength of the bull (ginseng) bestows on him ..... This herb will make thee so full of lusty strength that thou shalt, when thou art excited, exhale heat as a thing on fire." In humans, there is marked evidence to suggest ginseng increases energy and reduces fatigue. Recent studies showed soldiers given ginseng ran faster for longer, while night-shift workers also worked longer without suffering tiredness. Native Americans use the local variety as a treatment for nausea and vomiting, and as a potent love potion. They recommended it to early settlers who abandoned their man-made drugs in favor of plant medicines, and adopted ginseng as a powerful stimulant and aphrodisiac. Ginseng comes in a variety of forms, from whole root to extracts and dried as powder or granules. Special teas can be purchased from health food suppliers and herbalists. To make your own tea, take 3 oz of ginseng powder, add 1 oz of honey and 60 drops of wintergreen. Blend and add one teaspoonful of the mixture to a cupful of boiling water and take just before retiring.
