6. Ginseng is Anti-Inflammatory
Ginseng has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation and it does this by suppressing numerous pathways: tumor necrosis factor, IL-6 and others. This is important because it can reduce the symptoms of arthritis and also help to reduce the low-level inflammation that many of us experience on a permanent basis but can’t identify.
This has actually been shown to lead to depression as well as brain fog and tiredness. Think about the way your brain feels when you are ill – this is basically what happens to a lesser extent when you are experiencing mild levels of inflammation.
