Ginseng
Undergrowth vegetation (needs natural or artificial shade) - Likes acidic (pH 6.3 to 6.8) and light (sandy or humus rich) soil to be able to easily develop its roots. Loses its leaves and stem, and lies dormant in autumn. Its vegetation recovers from the terminal bud as the weather starts to warm up in the spring. It takes four to seven years of growth to reach its optimal content of medicinal compounds.
Latin name
Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer
Origin
North East Asia.
Used part
The root.
Active components
Saponins (ginsenosides): have a modulating effect on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and are therefore responsible for its adaptogenic effect.
Polysaccharides: responsible for the immunostimulant properties.
Usage
When purchasing ginseng, it is important to take care because there are numerous different varieties that do not all have the same properties and there are even plants that falsely bear the name “ginseng”. From the name “panax” which means a panacea, it can be deduced that ginseng is effectively a plant with numerous applications. Studies demonstrate that ginseng is rich in antioxidants and therefore has a cellular protective effect. 1-3 The plant helps to maintain optimal condition, vitality and energy. Ginseng supports cognitive reactivity and contributes to the optimisation of memory and concentration. 12-20
