Ginseng has been used to both stimulate and relax the nervous system. It increases capillary circulation in the brain and decreases the effects of stress. Though there are many kinds of ginsengs in the world but they cannot rival Asian ginseng in ingredients and medicinal effects. It contains as many as 29 different ginsenosides while the others contains 8-9.
