An excellent
adaptogen indicated in cases of stress, nervous exhaustion and
nervous dyspepsia. Ginseng will help normalize the nervous system,
pancreas, adrenals, and immune system. It is also indicated for
impaired immune function leading to chronic colds and bronchitis,
tiredness and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Ginseng is considered the
most powerful tonic medicine by the Cherokee people. In Chinese
medicine it is also extensively used as a tonic remedy to strengthen
the Chinese spleen and lung Qi. Less stimulating than Chinese
Ginseng, this root is appropriate for daily use by both sexes,
including younger people in their 20's - 40's. |
