Ginseng (Ren Shen) Function and Efficacy Recorded in TCM
Ginseng holds an extremely high position in traditional Chinese medicine and is known as the “king of all herbs”. It is the most important and famous representative of tonifying traditional Chinese medicine. Its core function is to “replenish vital energy”, with a sweet, slightly bitter, and warm taste. Return to the spleen, lung, heart, and kidney meridians.

1. Boost vitality 

This is the unique and irreplaceable function of ginseng.

Mechanism: Yuanqi is the most fundamental and important qi in the human body, serving as the driving force behind life activities. Ginseng can directly replenish and invigorate vitality.

Application:
Emergency recovery of yang: Used for critical symptoms of qi deficiency and pulse loss caused by excessive sweating, diarrhea, blood loss, or prolonged illness. At this time, it is necessary to use a large dose of ginseng (such as Du Shen Tang), which can effectively stabilize blood pressure, enhance mental strength, and buy time for rescue. This is similar to shock in modern medicine.

Severe illness or chronic wasting disease: Used to assist in the recovery of vital energy and aid in recovery.

2. Nourish the spleen and benefit the lungs
Mechanism: The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, while the lungs control the qi of the whole body. Ginseng can effectively enhance the functional activities of the human body by nourishing the spleen and lungs.

Application:
Spleen deficiency syndrome: used for mental fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating, and loose stools caused by spleen and stomach qi deficiency. Often used interchangeably with Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos (such as Si Jun Zi Tang).

Lung Qi Deficiency Syndrome: Used for shortness of breath, shortness of breath, low voice, aggravated movement, and easy sweating caused by weak lung qi. Often used interchangeably with Astragalus membranaceus and Schisandra chinensis.

3. Generating saliva to quench thirst
Mechanism: Ginseng can not only replenish qi, but also promote the production of body fluids.

Application:
Fever and fluid damage: In the late stage of exogenous fever, there are two injuries to qi and fluid, manifested as body heat, thirst, and pulse deficiency.

Diabetes: similar to modern diabetes, it belongs to the deficiency of both qi and yin. Ginseng can play the role of both qi and yin.

4. Soothing and puzzle solving
Mechanism: The heart governs the gods, and ginseng can nourish the heart qi and stabilize the mind.

Application:
Restlessness caused by deficiency of qi and blood: manifested as insomnia, frequent dreaming, palpitations, forgetfulness, etc. Often used together with tranquilizers such as sour jujube kernels and longan meat.

Intellectual decline: Used for mental decline and lack of concentration, it can help improve cognitive function.

Modern Pharmacological Effects of Ginseng (Ren Shen)
The modern pharmacological research on ginseng is very in-depth and extensive, and its position as the “king of all herbs” has been extensively verified at the scientific level. The main active ingredient of ginseng is ginsenosides, in addition to polysaccharides, peptides, volatile oils, etc.

The following is a detailed analysis of its main modern pharmacological effects:

1.Bi-directional regulation of the central nervous system – an “adaptogen” like effect

This is one of the most miraculous characteristics of ginseng.

Mechanism: Ginsenosides can regulate the balance of the central nervous system.

Specific manifestations:
Excitatory effect: During fatigue and drowsiness, it can increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex, enhance learning, memory ability, and responsiveness.

Sedative effect: It can also have a stabilizing and inhibitory effect during tension, anxiety, and insomnia.

Summary: It helps the body restore balance from a disordered state and enhances its non-specific resistance to various harmful stimuli such as physics, chemistry, and biology, which is called the “adaptogen” effect.

2. Enhance immune function
Mechanism: Ginseng polysaccharides and ginsenosides can comprehensively enhance the immune system.

Specific manifestations:
Promote the phagocytic function of macrophages.

Stimulate the transformation and proliferation of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells).

Increase the production of various cytokines, such as interferons and interleukins.

Effect: Significantly improves the body’s ability to resist diseases, has a positive effect on preventing infections and inhibiting tumor growth.

3. Protective effect on the cardiovascular system
Heart strengthening: Ginsenosides can enhance myocardial contractility, slow down heart rate, increase cardiac output and coronary blood flow, and have a heart strengthening effect.

Regulating blood pressure: It has a bidirectional regulatory effect, which can lower the blood pressure of hypertensive patients and raise the blood pressure of hypotensive or shock patients.

Anti shock: It has a significant protective effect on hemorrhagic and cardiogenic shock, which fully corresponds to its traditional efficacy of “tonifying vital energy and restoring pulse stability”.

Protection of myocardium and anti atherosclerosis: it can resist myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, reduce blood lipids, and delay the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.

4. Promote hematopoietic function
Mechanism: Stimulate hematopoietic organs (bone marrow), promote the production of hemoglobin, red blood cells, and white blood cells.

Application: Suitable for bone marrow suppression, anemia, etc. caused by tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

5. Regulate substance metabolism
Regulation of sugar metabolism: Ginsenosides and polysaccharides can reduce blood sugar, and are used to assist in the treatment of diabetes.

Promoting protein and nucleic acid synthesis: It can promote the synthesis of proteins, RNA, and DNA, providing a biochemical basis for its “deficiency supplementation” and growth promotion.

Regulating lipid metabolism: reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol).
