7 Types of People who should consume wild ginseng regularly

1) People who often catch a cold

There are many types of viruses which can cause a common cold. People who frequently get sick from cold viruses have weaker immune systems than others. However, they can boost their body constitution by consuming wild ginseng regularly.

Friendly reminder: Stop consuming wild ginseng if you are suffering from a cold or a fever. You can continue to take wild ginseng after recovery.

2) People with memory loss

Frequently consuming of wild ginseng shows positive effects on recovery of memory. Wild ginseng can improve memory as well as cognitive performance, according to a 2005 study from the Journal of Psychopharmacology. Moreover, wild ginseng can also help to improve memory in patients suffering from dementia.

3) Patients with hypertension (high blood pressure)

Wild ginseng is an ideal herb for treating and preventing hypertension. Hypertension is a fairly common problem in Singapore. It is often called the silent killer as it may not give rise to any symptoms. In a 2012 study published in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry” on hypertensive rats, the introduction of wild ginseng to the rats thickened the walls of their blood vessels and lowered their blood pressure.

4) Patients with Cardiovascular disease (heart attack & stroke)  

Heart is the most important organ of our body. Every day, 17 people die from cardiovascular disease in Singapore. Research by medical experts has revealed that ginsenoside (the active component of wild ginseng) is the best medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular disease should take wild ginseng regularly.

5) Patients with Diabetes

Diabetes occurs when the body produces insufficient insulin (a hormone that keeps the blood sugar level balanced) or does not respond properly to insulin, resulting in a high amount of sugar in the blood. Significant research has been done on the beneficial effects of ginseng in diabetes, including blood glucose reduction, weight gain control, and increased insulin production. One study of patients who consumed wild ginseng showed a significant improvement after 12 weeks.

6) People with weak eyesight

China ancient monograph “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” and “Ben Cao Gang Mu” indicated that wild ginseng can be used for treatment of weak eyesight. Under normal circumstances, the therapeutic effect can be significant after consuming wild ginseng for 1-2 years.

7) People with erectile dysfunction (impotence)

Wild ginseng can help in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, suggests a 2002 study from the Journal of Urology. An experiment on 45 men with erectile dysfunction, those who took wild ginseng for 8 weeks showed greater improvements than others for the same period.

Unlike prescription drugs for erectile dysfunction (which are usually taken when needed), wild ginseng only appears to be useful for erectile dysfunction if taken on a continuous basis.
