Ginseng and the Immune System

Winter is coming.. 


No but seriously, it is, and with it, colds, flus and other unwanted sicknesses.

It should come as no surprise that one of the most popular herbal medicines in the world, PANAX GINSENG, can of course come to your rescue as a natural and effective way to boost your immune system. Panax Ginseng is also known as Asian Ginseng or True Ginseng, a natural adaptogen that helps bring balance back to the body when it is exposed to outside stressors, such as illness and inflammation. 

A 12 week study with over 200 healthy volunteers showed that with a daily dose of 100mg Panax Ginseng showed it enhanced the efficacy of the common influenza vaccine. Furthemore, patients who received ginseng had higher activity levels of natural killer cell activity and lower incidences of the common colds and influenza flu. 

In another study with 75 people who were suffering from acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, those who were treated with both antibiotics and ginseng were cleared of bacteria faster than those who were only treated with antibiotics. 

So, whether you are wanting to prevent illness, or treat illness,
A high quality Panax Ginseng powder can assist. Proven to strengthen and repair your immune system, it is a great option to keep you healthy this winter.
