The Wonderful Health Benefits Of Ginseng

Improves Immunity

There’s evidence ginseng improves immunity. In 1998, researchers at the College of Medicine of Seoul National University tested ginseng’s effects on patients with gastric cancer. They administered capsules containing 5400 milligrams to some of the patients for two years. Those patients showed both improved symptoms and strengthened immune systems.

The International Journal of Molecular Medicine described a study in 2014 in which researchers tested the effects of ginseng on human lung cells infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which can cause a serious infection in children, seniors, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The researchers also worked with juvenile female mice. They found exposing the infected lung cells to a ginseng extract killed many of the viral cells. Similarly, they found the lungs of the mice who had been given ginseng showed fewer signs of viral infection than those who had not.
