Ginseng has been known for three thousand years, the Chinese have been using it as an herbal remedy. Oriental physicians prescribed ginseng as an essential tonic to restore health.
The medicinal effects of ginseng are due to a group of about two dozen substances in the root called ginsenosides, about 2-3%;
There are a large number of studies showing the action of Ginseng on specific body functions and on the skin immune defense system.
It has been demonstrated that Ginseng increases phospholipids synthesis, stimulates protein synthesis, inhibits protein enzymatic degradation in fibroblast and when applied on the skin it contributes to optimize the cutaneous metabolism.- Properties
- Anti-aging activity: Ginseng extract increase the production of collagen (Yeom MH et al (2003))
- Antioxidant activity: The antioxidant action of ginseng extract was verified by evaluating its lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity (Alonso, J., 2004)
- Immunostimulatory activity: Polysaccharides in the roots of P. Ginseng showed immunostimulatory action by promoting macrophage phagocytosis. Aging slows activation of the immune system, which results in reduced cell regeneration.
Because of its immunostimulatory activity, ginseng extract is a beneficial treatment for aged skin. - Hair grow stimulatory activity: The hair grow stimulatory effect was shown by Matsuda H et al. (2003).They conclude that Ginseng Radix possesses hair growth promoting activity, attributable to the ginseng saponin components.
