Modifying Herbs

American Ginseng: Native Americans used American Ginseng to treat digestive disorders, sexual dysfunction, and to enhance the immune system.

American Ginseng has a taste of SWEET, BITTER and a temperature of WARM.

American Ginseng is an adaptogen and digestive tonic. Its active ingredients are ginsenosides, which stimulate the immune system. In Chinese medicine it is considered a superior "yin tonic". While not a direct stimulant, American Ginseng boosts energy and fights fatigue, depression and general weakness due to overwork and stress. It balances hormones and protects the adrenals.

There are no notable cautions or known herb drug interactions for American Ginseng.

Gingko: The nut of the Ginkgo tree has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is only in the last 25 years that the medicinal uses for Gingko leaf extracts have been studied in the west.

Gingko has a taste of BITTER, SOUR and ASTRINGENT and a temperature of COOL.

Studies indicate that Ginkgo has beneficial effects on the circulatory and central nervous systems. It also acts as an anti-oxidant and anti-allergic herb by inhibiting platelet activating factors. By regulating the tone and elasticity of blood vessels, Ginkgo increases blood flow to the brain and extremities and promotes the delivery of additional oxygen and blood sugar to nerve cells. As an anti-oxidant, Ginkgo mops up the damaging compounds known as free radicals and aids in cell maintenance.

Specifically, Ginkgo is used clinically today to help to improve memory, relieve depression, anxiety, ringing in the ears and dizziness, reduce macular degeneration and control cataracts, treat complications due to diabetes, counter impotence, reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke, ease asthmatic attacks, and optimize brain function. Positive clinical trials show benefits especially for dementia of the elderly, and intermittent claudication.

Taking large doses of Ginkgo standardized extracts may cause headaches or mild nausea in susceptible individuals. Ginkgo extract may mildly affect blood coagulation, so it is best to use with caution for people taking blood-thinners or perioperatively.
