Specializes in Family Medicine

Ginseng: Panax ginseng is a herb that is used as an adaptogen. The herbs main beneficial compound is called ginsenoside, Oddly some people using ginseng will get elevated BP, but others it helps lower BP. Many people have used ginseng for ages with benefit. If you try it keep a close eye on BP, if elevating stop taking ginseng.
