TRADITIONAL HERBAL USES AND MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
Siberian ginseng is not actually ginseng but it is so called because it works in such a similar way. It is an adaptogen, and it encourages the adrenal glands to secrete STRESS FIGHTING HORMONES.

So it is known to strengthen the whole system and help fight colds, flu, fatigue, viral infections, nervous breakdown, depression, environmental toxins, to help the liver detox, and to alleviate menstrual problems and menopausal symptoms.

It basically boosts the body's capacity to handle stress, ranging from heat exposure to extreme exertion. It helps the body become disease resistant and boosts energy levels.

In a Russian study it was noted that after taking Siberian ginseng regularly, labourers doing hard physical work experienced significant improvements such as:
Improved physical performance
Increased mental clarity
Speed
Precision
Capacity to adapt to extreme circumstances such as altitude, heat, oxygen.

It has also been known to treat chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, it is well known to boost mental alertness and improve concentration (has been used in early stages of Alzheimer's). It boosts female fertility, increases testosterone levels in men and is said to increase sperm count, and relieve male impotence and erectile dysfunction. Siberian ginseng is more useful for maintaining good health rather than treating ill health. Siberian Ginseng is reputed to have a normalising effect, bringing the body back into balance. Siberian ginseng may help to protect the body from the debilitating effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Siberian ginseng contains remarkable compounds that favorably affect the adrenal glands, the small glands that rest atop the kidneys and secrete stress-fighting hormones. Siberian ginseng can increase a person's resistance to physical stresses. Siberian ginseng is popular for invigorating and fortifying the body. By supporting healthy uterine function, Siberian ginseng may be useful in preventing female infertility. Siberian ginseng may increase mental alertness, particularly in the early stages of this progressive disorder.
