1 regulates the central nervous system.
Ginseng can regulate the central nervous system, improve the process of brain excitation and inhibition, and make it tend to balance; Can improve mental and physical labor ability, improve work efficiency, and has anti-fatigue effect.
Promoting the brain's utilization of energy substances can improve learning and memory ability. Ginsenoside is the effective component of ginseng to enhance learning and memory ability, among which ginsenoside Rb 1 and ginsenoside Rg 1 have good effects on learning and memory function. Ginsenoside can promote the learning and memory process of normal rats, and ginsenoside can obviously improve the memory disorder caused by electric shock in rats. Both of them significantly increased the contents of monoamine transmitters in different brain regions of normal rats. These studies have certain reference value for the rational application of ginseng plant resources [3].
3 Improve heart function
Ginseng can increase myocardial contractility, slow down heart rate, increase cardiac output and coronary blood flow, and resist myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia. It has certain influence on heart function, cardiovascular system and blood flow. Ginseng has obvious anti-hypoxia effect, and its preparation can effectively resist sinus heart rate abnormality. Ginsenoside can accelerate lipid metabolism and significantly reduce high cholesterol. Low dose ginseng can slightly increase the blood pressure of anesthetized animals, while high dose ginseng can lower the blood pressure. Different ginseng preparations can enhance the function of toad hearts in vitro and rabbits, cats and dogs in vivo, and can improve myocardial weakness during ventricular fibrillation [4].
4 hypoglycemic effect
Ginseng contains ginsenoside and ginseng polysaccharide. In particular, ginsenoside Rb2 has obvious hypoglycemic effect, and ginseng polysaccharide (or glycopeptide) is another hypoglycemic component in ginseng.
5. Enhance the immune function of the body.
Ginsenoside and ginseng polysaccharide are active components in ginseng to regulate immune function, which can improve immune function not only for normal people but also for people with low immune function. Ginseng polysaccharide is a high molecular acidic polysaccharide purified from ginseng, and it is an immune enhancer. Animal experiments and human clinical experiments show that it can significantly enhance human immunity and has a certain curative effect on malignant tumors. Clinical experiments show that it can also prolong the survival time of patients, improve the cellular immune function of the body, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and accelerate the repair of damaged tissues. Clinical observation has proved that ginseng polysaccharide has obvious leucocyte-raising effect. When it is used in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy, prevent leukopenia, and enable patients to successfully complete the treatment. Ginseng polysaccharide has no side effects, which proves that the drug is safe and reliable.
Improving the resistance to harmful stimuli can enhance the body's stress ability and adaptability.
Ginseng contains ginsenoside, which can improve the anti-stress effect. Resistant to hypoxia, high temperature and low temperature.
7 anti-tumor effect
Ginsenoside, ginsenoside, panaxol, panaxatriol and volatile oil in ginseng. These substances have a certain inhibitory effect on tumors, but the mechanism is very complicated.
8 antioxidant effect
Ginseng contains a variety of antioxidant substances, such as ginsenoside, ginseng polyacetylene compounds and panaxadiol saponins. These compounds have anti-lipid peroxidation effect and are the basis of anti-aging effect. In addition to anti-aging, it can also regulate physiological functions such as nerve, endocrine, immune function and substance metabolism. In addition, ginseng also has many functions such as antivirus, anti-shock, weight loss and so on. Although ginseng is a tonic with high value, it is not suitable for everyone. The protein factor in ginseng can inhibit lipolysis and aggravate lipid deposition on blood vessel wall, so patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular sclerosis, diabetes and vasculitis should use ginseng with caution. The increase of blood viscosity will lead to poor blood circulation, which is called blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Ginseng can promote the growth of red blood cells, increase the number of red blood cells and make blood stations more consistent.
