Ginseng, or Panax Ginseng as it is known in latin, has long been valued in Chinese medicine as a valued treatment for "yang" difficency in the spleen and kidneys, as well as for the effect it has on "Qi," or the vital force thought to be inherent in all things. It is also widely considered to be great in aiding mind and body in adapting to stress, trauma and fatigue, as well as having some ability to increase stamina and stimulate the immune system. In spiritual use, it can be considered a potent aid in spells involving love, healing and protection, and can also be quite potent in increasing and empowering one`s personal energy.
In more modern studies, it has been shown to help the body deal with physically and mentally stressful exposures, such as heat and cold exhaustion, viruses, bacteria, chemicals, extreme working conditions, noise, pollution, and other such factors that can be traumatic when experienced over time. Some studies have also affirmed the traditions that Ginseng can stimulate the immune system, showing that it can help prevent illness. In some circles, it is also widely used to increase sexual potency and fertility.
