In reply to What does GINSENG do for you?, posted by Sarah T. on July 3, 2005, at 19:53:55
Hello Sarah
When there was that talk about adaptogens I took it in various forms. I've since learnt that I have what is known in TCM as damp heat and a spleen deficiency. Ginseng is stimulating and heating, so it's no good for me, because I'm insomniac and too hot anyway. I imagine all the good things it does would still happen to me (cancer protection and whatever else), but it's not in the formula that my acupuncturist supplies. The amount in the drink may not amount to much anyway.
