Put some pep in your step. The most famous of energy tonics, Panax ginseng has been prized and used for 5,000 years in Asian medical traditions. Ginseng’s medicinal benefits include increased physical and mental endurance, decreased fatigue, and a gentle boost of energy. Unlike coffee, which stimulates the central nervous system, ginseng elevates energy without the jolt. Some other benefits include enhanced physical performance, improved coordination, increased sexual potency, and reduced cholesterol. Ginseng is commonly considered an “adaptogen” – a natural substance that improves the body’s resistance to physical and environmental stress, thereby enhancing the immune system. There is also strong evidence that ginseng can help the body fight off infection, protect liver and heart health, normalize cholesterol and blood sugar levels, regulate hormonal function, and improve cognitive functions. Available as a powder, capsule or tea, people taking ginseng often experience an overall improvement of well-being.
