Ginseng itself is widely known as the most perfect herb. There are three different species of ginseng, one of which is Red Ginseng. Red Ginseng is a natural ginseng product first used in Asia to prevent and treat a variety of illnesses and dysfunctions. This form of ginseng is regarded as the best and most effective form of ginseng. Red Ginseng or Hong Ren Shen is red in color resulting from a customary steaming process. Because this type of ginseng is steamed, it provides a warming effect of the body when taken.
All three ginseng types are comprised of ginsenosides. The composition of ginsenosides varies according to the type of ginseng and therefore varies the effects of the ginseng. Red Ginseng has three times the amount of ginsenosides that the other species of ginseng for a total of twenty-four ginsenosides. Some ginsenosides are known for activating the nervous system while others work to calm it. Certain ginsenosides increase metobolic rates while others decrease it. Because of Red Ginseng’s warming effect, it is known to stimulate both the nervous system and the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients. Asian Ginseng is available in its natural form as White Ginseng or in its steam treated form of Red Ginseng. Red Ginseng is naturally warm and henceforth prescribed to people who have cold sensations in their body.
In China, Red Ginseng is said to support the Yuan Qi, or Original Qi. In Chinese culture, each person is born with the energy of Yuan Qi. Red Ginseng works to maintain the level of Yuan Qi in the body because the Chinese believe that once the body’s Yuan Qi is depleted, life ends. Red Ginseng provides overall physical and mental well being by strengthening the body enough to react to stress or overexertion in a balanced manner. By maintaining proper levels of Yuan Qi, the nervous system is more at ease.
Red Ginseng is a natural ginseng product used in Asia to treat sexual dysfunctions. Red Ginseng is considered to be an aphrodisiac. It works to prevent and treat impotence, infertility, low sperm count, and early ejaculation. It also stimulates blood flow to the extremities such as the brain and the penis. Many choose to take Red Ginseng, a natural remedy, over the chemical products available because it is less costly, more readily available and has fewer side effects. The recommended dosage of five hundred milligrams of Red Ginseng costs less than ten cents as compared to one tablet of Viagra which runs about ten dollars.
