Korean Ginseng Tea

Korean Ginseng, also known as Panax Ginseng or “the man root”, is grown in China.  For thousands of years, the Chinese have used Korean Ginseng Tea as a preventative treatment to stimulate and cultivate the body’s well being.  Korean Ginseng Tea is credited with preventing and treating stress and fatigue as well as repairing the sexual center in the brain.  Korean Ginseng has thirteen ginsenosides including panaxans and polysaccharides.  Panaxans are responsible for lowering blood sugar levels and polysaccharides build the immune system.  The panax found in ginseng is recommended for use in treating type 2 diabetes.  Polysaccharides strengthen the body’s immune system which defends the body against diseases and stress related illnesses by activating the growth of disease fighting T-cells.

Ginseng is known as an adaptogen.  Adaptogens are compounds found in the body known to relieve physical and mental stress.  Korean Ginseng supports the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands which are known to combat stress.  Korean Ginseng Tea also stimulates endorphin production.  Endorphins are responsible for providing the body with euphoric sensations.  Korean Ginseng Tea also targets the region of the brain that promotes sexual stimulation.  It increases testosterone levels and raises sperm count. 

Research performed in the Western world have shown that Korean Ginseng Tea can normalize the body’s immune system and prevent and treat the common cold, flu symptoms and some types of cancer.  Korean Ginseng Tea has also been shown to effectively lower blood sugar levels in those with Type 2 Diabetes.  Korean Ginseng Tea is also used to lower bad cholesterol levels and maintain healthy cholesterol levels.  Korean Ginseng works to relax the lungs making it easier for people suffering with asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to breathe.

The recommended dose for Korean Ginseng Tea varies based on treatment.  If using the fresh root, it is recommended to use between one thousand to two thousand milligrams.  If using the dried root, consume six hundred to two thousand milligrams.  It taking Korean Ginseng in a liquid extract form, take two hundred to six hundred milligrams.  All dosages should be taken daily for a period of no more than two to three weeks.  After completion, it is recommended to take a two to three week break from the Korean Ginseng Tea.
