Il Ginseng: principe della Farmacologia Tradizionale Cinese - Indicazioni e controindicazioni

Ciò che chiamiamo Ginseng è una droga costituita dalle radici disseccate di Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer.

Descrizione caratteri . Odore tenue e caratteristico, sapore leggermente piccante, amarognolo at first, then sweet and slightly mucilaginous. The roots, spindle-shaped, are long in general from 3.5 cm to 20 cm, from 0.5 to 2.5 cm thick at the top and rastemate downwards, often curved at the end. The upper part has frequently two or more branches. Top notes are a waste of gem-shaped heads with scars anulari.La bark, up to 3 mm thick, is brown chiarotendente to yellow or yellow-white. The root surface is covered with longitudinal roughness and, in the upper zone, you notice more or less marked transverse rings. The root eduro and crumbly, with no fibrous section of yellow-white powder. There is observed change ring yellow-brown.

This fleshy root, spicy, shaped like a man built on the legs, comes a perennial plant belonging to Araliaceae. It is grown in mountainous and forested regions of northern China, Manchuria and Korea. The virtues of ginseng have been reported since the fifth century AD C., in writings and legends received today. The Europeans discovered the use of ginseng, towards the end of 'the sixteenth century, thanks to the Jesuits living in China. The most famous Chinese doctors wrote whole books on the properties of this plant, including it in almost all of the remedies prescribed to overlords, avendo essa un prezzo troppo elevato per la maggior parte dei comuni mortali. Asserivano che era un assolutamente indicato per l’astenia causata da un eccesso di lavoro fisico e psichico, che dissolveva il flegma, guariva l’affaticamento dei polmoni e la pleurite, aiutava la digestione, rinforzava il sangue e infine prolungava la vita agli anziani. D’altra parte non si può immaginare che che i Cinesi e i Tartari facessero un così grande uso di questa radice, se non fosse stata in grado di produrre costantemente effetti positivi. Per quanto mi riguarda, io sono persuaso che nelle mani degli Europei, che comprendono la farmacologia, essa sarà un ottimo rimedio, se ne disporranno a sufficienza per compiere le sperimentazioni necessarie, to examine its nature through chemistry, and to be able to conveniently prescribe, depending on the nature of the disease for which it may reveal healing. "These days you can see how this little miracle has taken root around the world and as part Formula constituent of many medications, type species and even an aphrodisiac tonic.

Modern studies have shown an action of the components of ginseng on the central nervous system, where action-type show adaptogen, that modulate the state of excitement of central neurons in order to promote an optimal response to external and internal. For this reason, Ginseng enjoys fame anti-stress remedy and "exciting" nature, although in reality the manifestation of an effect risvegliante depends on the specific situation of those who hired him. As often happens in pharmacological studies on herbs, the effects of administration of root extract of ginseng have shown contradictory effects depending on the dose and the particular situation of the subject. It seems, however, found that taking ginseng has several important therapeutic effects:

• significantly increases the body's resistance to stress factors, including exposure to extreme temperatures

• improves response to insulin in diabetic patients with mild

• improves appetite

• increases resistance to fatigue

• relieves fatigue.

Indications and contraindications (Foster et al., 1992; Corradin et al., 2000; Bernini, 2002). The virtues of ginseng have been attributed to its saponin content of specifications - ginsenosides - they actually possess and cardiovascular tonic. However, the interesting parts of this root are numerous and can not be excluded that it is rather a combination of different effects to give the property address so special. If one considers the large circulation and the strong advertising push, one would think that everyone can benefit from the consumption of ginseng. In reality, however, there are clear indications and contraindications. Ginseng is good for people suffering from chronic fatigue who are anemic or assumptions. For example, a good remedy for postpartum and can prevent some of the post-partum depression. It is useful for diabetics for those in heavy work or in areas climatically disadvantaged, for athletes. It may be useful anche  per chi vive in situazioni di stress emozionale , ma con alcune cautele, dal momento che questi soggetti si trovano spesso in condizioni di continua sovreccitazione. Per quanto riguarda le controindicazioni,  in particolare non deve essere assunto dai soggetti affetti da ipertensione grave  (con valori sistolici maggiori di 180 mmHg), da chi soffre di ulcera duodenale e di insonnia grave. L’assunzione di dosi eccessive o da parte di soggetti che non presentino le indicazioni per l’uso può condurre a cefalea, insonnia, palpitazioni e aumento della pressione arteriosa. Nel corso di una terapia con Ginseng è inoltre preferibile non bere tè o caffè e non mangiare turnips, as these substances may increase the toxicity of grass. They also described actions with bleeding if antiplatelet therapy combined with anticoagulants. In protracted therapies can damage to your kidney function and, in children, promotes calcification by inhibiting the metaphyseal skeletal growth. Ginseng described addiction as well hypercorticism conditions with low levels of ACTH.
