I-Ginseng iyimpande ebilokhu isetshenziswa izinkulungwane zeminyaka njengekhambi lakho konke kusukela ekukhathaleni kuya ekungavuthweni kahle kwenduku. Empeleni kunezinhlobo ezimbili ze-ginseng - i-ginseng yase-Asia kanye ne-ginseng yaseMelika - kodwa zombili ziqukethe ama-compounds abizwa ngokuthi ama-ginsenosides awusizo empilweni.
I-Ginseng ingaqinisa amasosha omzimba wakho futhi isize umzimba wakho ukulwa nezifo ezifana nomkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane.
“Impande ye-ginseng iboniswe ukuthi inomsebenzi onamandla wokulwa namagciwane,” kusho uKeri Gans, MD, isazi sokudla esibhalisiwe emsebenzini wangasese. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo oluningi olukhona lwenziwa elabhorethri ngezilwane noma amaseli abantu.
Ucwaningo lwabantu lwango-2020 luthole ukuthi abantu abathatha ama-capsule amabili e-ginseng extract ngosuku babenamathuba aphansi cishe ngo-50% okuthola umkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane kunalabo abathatha i-placebo.
Uma usuvele ugula, ukuthatha i-ginseng kungasiza - ucwaningo olufanayo luthole ukuthiisithako se-ginsengkwanciphisa isikhathi sokugula kusukela kwesilinganiso sezinsuku ezingu-13 kuya kwezingu-6.
I-Ginseng ingasiza ekulweni nokukhathala futhi ikunike amandla ngoba iqukethe ama-compounds abizwa ngokuthi ama-ginsenosides asebenza ngezindlela ezintathu ezibalulekile:
Ukubuyekezwa kwezifundo eziyi-10 ngo-2018 kwathola ukuthi i-ginseng inganciphisa ukukhathala, kodwa abalobi bathi kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe.
“I-Ginseng iboniswe ukuthi inezakhiwo zokuvikela izinzwa ezingasiza ekunciphiseni ingqondo kanye nezifo zobuchopho eziwohlokayo njenge-Alzheimer’s,” kusho u-Abby Gellman, umpheki kanye nochwepheshe wezokudla obhalisiwe emsebenzini wangasese.
Esifundweni esincane sango-2008, iziguli ze-Alzheimer zathatha amagremu angu-4.5 empuphu ye-ginseng nsuku zonke amasonto ayi-12. Lezi ziguli zazihlolwa njalo izimpawu ze-Alzheimer, kanti labo abathatha i-ginseng babenezimpawu zokuqonda ezithuthuke kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nalabo abathatha i-placebo.
I-Ginseng ingaba nezinzuzo zokuqonda kubantu abaphilile. Ocwaningweni oluncane lwango-2015, abacwaningi banike abantu abaneminyaka ephakathi nendawo u-200 mg we-isithako se-ginsengbese behlola inkumbulo yabo yesikhashana. Imiphumela ibonise ukuthi abantu abadala abathathe i-ginseng babenamaphuzu okuhlolwa angcono kakhulu kunalabo abathathe i-placebo.
Kodwa-ke, ezinye izifundo azizange zibonise izinzuzo ezinkulu. Ucwaningo oluncane kakhulu lwango-2016 luthole ukuthi ukuthatha i-ginseng engu-500mg noma engu-1,000mg akuzange kuthuthukise amaphuzu ezivivinyweni ezahlukene zokuqonda.
“Ucwaningo nolwazi lwe-ginseng lubonisa amandla, kodwa akukaqinisekiswa ngokuphelele,” kusho uHans.
Ngokusho kocwaningo lwamuva nje, “i-ginseng ingaba yindlela yokwelapha ephumelelayo yokungasebenzi kahle kwe-erectile (ED),” kusho uHans.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-ginseng ingasiza ekwandiseni ukuvuka kocansi futhi ikhulule imisipha ebushelelezi yepenis, okungabangela ukuvuka kobulili.
Ukubuyekezwa kwezifundo ezingu-24 ngo-2018 kwathola ukuthi ukuthatha izithasiselo ze-ginseng kungathuthukisa kakhulu izimpawu zokungasebenzi kahle kwe-erectile.
Amajikijolo e-Ginseng angenye ingxenye yesitshalo engasiza ekwelapheni i-ED. Ucwaningo lwango-2013 luthole ukuthi amadoda anokungasebenzi kahle kokuchama athathe i-1,400 mg yesithako sejikijolo se-ginseng nsuku zonke amasonto ayisishiyagalombili ayethuthukise kakhulu ukusebenza kocansi uma kuqhathaniswa neziguli ezithathe i-placebo.
Ngokusho kukaGans, ubufakazi obuvela ocwaningweni lwamuva busikisela ukuthi amakhemikhali e-ginsenoside ku-ginseng angasiza ekwenzeni amazinga kashukela egazini abe ngokwejwayelekile.
“I-Ginseng ingasiza ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kwe-glucose, okungasiza ekulawuleni ushukela egazini,” futhi kungasiza ekwelapheni isifo sikashukela sohlobo 2, kusho uGellman.
I-Ginseng iyasiza futhi ekunciphiseni ukuvuvukala, okubalulekile ngoba ukuvuvukala kuphakamisa ingozi yokuba nesifo sikashukela noma ukwenza izimpawu zesifo sikashukela zibe zimbi kakhulu.
Ukubuyekezwa kwezifundo eziyisishiyagalombili kwango-2019 kwathola ukuthi ukwengezwa kwe-ginseng kusiza ekuthuthukiseni ukulawulwa koshukela egazini kanye nokuzwela kwe-insulin, izinto ezimbili ezibalulekile ekuphathweni kwesifo sikashukela.
Uma ufuna ukuzama izithasiselo ze-ginseng, kufanele uhlole nodokotela wakho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi azibangeli izinkinga ngemithi noma izimo zezokwelapha ezikhona njengamanje.
“Abantu kufanele bahlole nodokotela wezokudla obhalisiwe kanye/noma umhlinzeki wabo wezempilo ngaphambi kokuqala izithasiselo nganoma yisiphi isizathu sezokwelapha,” kusho uHans.
Kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe, kodwa izifundo zibonisa ukuthi i-ginseng inganikeza izinzuzo eziningi ezibalulekile zezempilo, njengokusiza ekulweni nezifo nokukhulisa amazinga amandla.
