Ginsengs have been used in various traditional medicinal therapies for thousands of years in China and North America. At present, it is also used as an ingredient for formulation of herbal supplements and functional foods. Ginseng is reported to have a wide range of therapeutic and pharmacological activities, which focus on immunological, anti-cancer, central nervous system, acceleration of metabolism, and anti-oxidant properties

Heart conditions Ginseng appears to have antioxidant effects that may benefit patients with heart disorders. Some studies suggest that ginseng also reduces oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol and brain tissue. Better studies are needed to make a firm recommendation. High blood sugar/glucose intolerance Several studies suggest ginseng may lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes before and after meals. These results are promising, especially because ginseng does not seem to lower blood sugar to dangerous levels. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of ginseng in managing blood sugar levels. Immune system enhancement Several studies report that ginseng may boost the immune system, improve the effectiveness of antibiotics in people with acute bronchitis, and enhance the body's response to flu vaccines. Additional studies are needed before a clear conclusion can be reached.Type 2 diabetes (adult-onset) Several human studies report that ginseng may lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Long-term effects are not clear, and it is not known what doses are safe or effective. People with diabetes should seek the care of a qualified healthcare practitioner and should not use ginseng instead of more proven therapies. Effects of ginseng in type 1 diabetes ("insulin dependent") are not well studied
