Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Under normal circumstances, ginseng powder may have functions and benefits such as enhancing immunity, beautifying the skin, lowering blood sugar, greatly replenishing vital energy (Qi), and calming the mind to improve mental clarity. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Enhancing Immunity
Ginseng powder contains various components such as ginsenosides, which may increase the activity and quantity of immune cells, thereby strengthening the body's immune system, helping prevent colds and other diseases.
2. Beautifying the Skin
Ginseng powder may dilate the capillary system, promote skin blood circulation, effectively supply nutrients necessary for maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness, and help prevent wrinkles and peeling skin, thus delaying premature skin aging and achieving beautifying effects. Ginseng powder may be more easily absorbed by the skin and generally causes no adverse irritation.
3. Lowering Blood Sugar
Ginseng may stimulate the endocrine system and enhance the adrenal cortex system, thereby promoting insulin secretion and assisting in lowering blood sugar levels. This may help diabetic patients or individuals with high blood sugar alleviate symptoms.
4. Replenishing Vital Energy
Ginseng powder has strong nourishing properties and can greatly replenish vital energy, helping improve conditions of weakness and deficiency in Qi and blood. Individuals with insufficient vital energy and weak constitutions may benefit from moderate consumption of ginseng powder.
5. Calming the Mind and Improving Mental Clarity
Ginseng powder may also have the effect of calming the mind and improving cognitive function, helping alleviate symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, frequent dreams, forgetfulness, palpitations, fatigue, and soreness in the waist and knees caused by disharmony between the heart and kidney.
Ginseng powder is a health supplement and should not be consumed in large quantities. Especially pregnant women, patients with hypertension, and children should consult a qualified physician before use to avoid improper use that may lead to adverse reactions.
