With chart-topping boybands, Korean dramas and K-beauty dominating our social feeds, it’s no surprise that the “Hallyu Wave” is sweeping through every industry. And it seems like one of its latest targets is the world of herbal medicines and supplements — including the popular herb Korean red ginseng (KRG) that’s backed by numerous studies. Ms Pan Chien Ying, TCM physician at Cheong Kwan Jang, shares more about the benefits of this plant and ways to incorporate it into our diet.
Ginseng is known to be a stress buster, but what many people don’t realise is that this plant is also a natural energiser. Ms Pan explains that because ginseng is able to help promote blood circulation, it can help boost our energy levels and fight fatigue. It can even help reduce the effects of aging by increasing our body’s cellular regeneration process, she adds.
It can help boost our immunity by stimulating the activity of the immune system’s natural defences, according to research published in the journal Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. This is because ginseng can activate the immune cells responsible for primary innate immunity against non-specific infections and harmful substances, as well as increase their activity and number. It can also promote the activity of dendritic and natural killer cells that are part of our acquired immunity.
In a separate animal study, researchers found that the anti-inflammatory properties of KRG helped improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis, a condition characterized by itching and nasal congestion. The researchers also found that KRG can reduce the activity of mast cell, a type of cell in the nose and throat that triggers allergic reactions in humans.
However, if you’re taking any medications or have certain health conditions, it would be best to check with your doctor before trying out this herb. It is believed to interact with some drugs, particularly those that sâm 6 năm tuổi hàn quốc work by lowering or raising blood sugar levels. KRG is also not recommended for pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding.
While some studies suggest that KRG may lower blood sugar levels, other studies have shown that it can actually raise them. It all depends on the ginsenosides that it contains. Therefore, it’s a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels closely when you take this herb and report any changes to your doctor. Also, avoid taking it close to bedtime because it may affect your sleep.
