Benefits of American Ginseng:
1) Cooling Nature
American Ginseng is considered to be a “cooler” alternative for Panax ginseng which is the other name for Chinese Ginseng.
2) Energy provision and fatigue prevention
Ginseng can be used to stimulate mental and physical activity in individuals who are feeling a lot weaker or tired. This has been proven by being administered to cancer patients, helping them to reduce fatigue levels in a study carried out by the Mayo Clinic. This does not only provide such individuals with the much-needed energy, but also the hope of recovery.

Some evidence provided indicates that taking a specific American Ginseng extract going by the name CVT- E002 might help in preventing the flu and colds from occurring as well as making their symptoms milder when the infections develop.
The herbal drug can also be used to treat and manage other common infections like dysentery which is the infection of the intestine, HIV AIDS and Pseudomonas infections which are very common in cystic fibrosis patients.
4) American Ginseng for Diabetes Management
Medical research indicates that taking 3 grams of American Ginseng orally, up to two hours before partaking in meals daily can lower significantly the blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetes patients after meals. Patients are however, discouraged from taking larger doses as they do not guarantee greater effects. The ability for the herbal remedy to control and manage diabetes (american ginseng blood sugar level) is mainly attributed to ginsenosides, which is an active chemical element.
