Natural Products for Cancer Prevention/Management (21)

Ginseng


Ginseng has been widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine in treating a number of diseases and for increasing general health. It is generally divided into two types: Asian ginseng and American ginseng. They all contain a number of ginsenosides and polysaccharides; both are thought to be active ingredients for the biological effects of ginseng. Ginseng has been shown to lower the elevated levels of blood sugar in diabetic patients. It has also been shown to reduce cancer-related fatigue for cancer patients.
