What if an ancient tonic could pass modern tests? This episode traces ginseng’s story—from Taoist ‘human root’ lore to controlled clinical trials—explaining species differences, key active compounds, and why standardization matters. We summarize the strongest evidence: benefits for cancer-related fatigue, modest immune support, memory improvements, glucose regulation, and vascular effects for sexual health, while noting safety concerns such as interactions with warfarin and recommendations against use in pregnancy. Practical takeaways include trial-based dosing examples and a reminder that high-quality, standardized products are essential to match the research. Ginseng is not a miracle cure, but a well-supported bridge between tradition and science.For more information please visit the blog at www.jadedragon.online
