Korean White Ginseng for Stress
Scientific Name: Panax ginseng
Korean White Ginseng is an ancient tonic herb which has been used as a qi (vital essence) tonic in Chinese medicine for about 5,000 years. A member of the Asian grouping of ginseng, it was introduced in Europe several times from the ninth century on.
Korean White Ginseng assumed no importance in Western medicine until studies by Soviet scientists in the 1950s.
Then it was established as an "adaptogen" (something that can be taken as food or a supplement that tends to normalize the body's functions).
It is mostly used to nourish the muscles and nervous system. It is a great herb for athletes and anybody who is into sports.
Korean White Ginseng is appropriate for people experiencing fatigue due to stress, overwork, or anxiety.
Traditionally has been used to help stimulate as well as relax the body's systems. A sweet herb used as a general tonic for improved wellbeing, it has properties that are believed to improve concentration, memory, and work efficiency.
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) herbal doctors believe that white ginseng holds cooling properties. These cooling properties make this herb ideal should you have excess yang, or heat, in your inner body. According to Chinese tradition, white ginseng helps to balance your heat, as opposed to Siberian Ginseng that can exacerbate your inner yang. Additionally, Chinese medicine believes that white ginseng can strengthen your Yyuan qi, the vital energy you are born with.
According to the book “Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine,” white ginseng is a stimulant that can reduce blood sugar levels in in some individuals. Additionally, white ginseng can reduce the effects of stress, aid in alleviating mental and body fatigue, boost energy levels and help to sustain your body functions.
A study published in the April 2010 “Journal of the American Botanical Council,” also found that Korean White Ginseng enhanced the cognitive functions of some patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
Ginseng is considered "energizing," but has not been shown to be addictive, or cause insomnia or overly stimulate the central nervous system the way caffeine or drugs do.
Korean White Ginseng contains 24 types of saponin.
Saponin breaks down fat, accelerates nutrient absorption and digestion, increases energy, and fatigue recovery.

Panax Ginseng, also known as Asian, Chinese, or Korean Ginseng, has been used as a tonic and restorative in China for 5000 years. Panax Ginseng is the most powerful of the ginsengs. The roots were once dug from the wild but today such roots are rare and expensive, selling for thousands of dollars apiece. After 100 years of refinement of cultivation practices and seed selection, good quality cultivated roots are being produced.
Sunrider uses only the pure, unadulterated root powder. This is rare in the market, as most companies cut their herb formulas with rice powder. (Note: Included in Beauty Pearl Supplement and Energy Plus)
