Until now, I still don't have clear evidence of the effects of ginseng.

 

Ginseng, medicinal herbs of precious traditional medicine in Asia, are now starting to be Western medicine research. Ginseng has expressed in many types of pathological values: has the ability to reduce blood pressure, cause hypoglycemia in diabetes, relieving some of the symptoms of heart disease, improve resistance in some cases of cancer, improve some mental symptoms, improve the function of some organs in the body.

 

However, so far, the evidence for this effect remains unclear. The safety and efficacy of ginseng in the pathological case still needs to be a clear research by the research on animals and on humans. Management Agency of the United States food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to recognize the drug's ginseng effect effects on people.

 

In the field, he noted, there are some quite significantly the pregnant women who used ginseng Flower (can reach around 10%). However, a study published in 2003 of a University in Hong Kong shows that ginsenoside Rb1, use one of the ingredients of ginseng can cause deformities on mouse embryos.

 

When using ginsenoside Rb1 with 30 micrograms concentration on embryo mouse 9 days of age, the ability to have the irregularities in the heart, and the development as well as the movement of the mouse embryo; with doses of 50 micrograms, this ability and appears more unusual height and muscle cell development. This study showed that ginseng has teratogenic effects on the mouse, so that should be cautious when used on people, especially in the early months of pregnancy. They also observed an increase in the likelihood of death groups when the mother taking ginseng in the stage of lactation.

 

Ginseng acts like estrogen, so on some people at high risk for breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ginseng can cause more harm than good, as well as clearly have the ability to promote the process of pathological cases of this cancer.
