Is ginseng good for the mind?

For decades Orientals have been ingesting ginseng in large amounts. Now this fad has started in North America. Ginseng is a herb widely touted to treat many medical disorders of the brain and nerves. This herb is always listed as a best seller and brings in billions of dollars to the health supplement industry. But does it really work?

The latest studies show that ginseng when administered to healthy individuals does have very mild benefits on behavior cognition and quality of life. However, the results were not very impressive, not seen in all individuals and only seen with the panaz ginseng.

So the bottom line is that if you have money, then buy ginseng. If you do not have money, eat a healthy diet of fruit and vegetables, walk everyday and do not smoke- these simple lifestyle changes beat ginseng any day.
