What is Red Ginseng?
Red Ginseng is typically grown in Korea or China. The name, Red Ginseng, is originated from the appearance of the root after undergoing a specialized preservation method. Like most Asian Ginseng, the red variant comes from Ginseng root that is grown, harvested and processed primarily in South Korea and China. The plant itself has bright green rounded leaves and produces greenish-yellow flowers that ripen into two or three small round red berries.
Red Ginseng is an Asian Secret
You've already heard so much about the harmful effects of sunburn or intensive sun exposure. It results in pre-mature aging and deadly skin cancer. What is so exciting about the recent research on Red Ginseng is that the study reveals its emerging role as a photo protective agent. A study was published in Journal Ethnopharmacology where the tests derived the effects of a Korean red ginseng extract in a group of hairless mice. Hairless mice actually have very similar dermal structure to the human skin. The experiment involved- all the mice being exposed to UVB rays
- half the group received red ginseng extract on a daily basis
- other half received nothing
Red Ginseng Test Results
- The mice receiving daily red ginseng extract had fewer wrinkles as compared to the group with no red ginseng extract infusion.
- Blood analysis proves that red ginseng extract prevented "collagen degradation."
In January 2009, another study also showed that "red ginseng prevented UVB related loss of elasticity, thickening of the skin and wrinkle formation in the same variety of hairless mice. Interestingly enough, applying ginseng directly to the skin appears to increase collagen production. This hints at a synergistic effect of taking ginseng orally and applying it topically." - Science Direct - European Journal of Pharmacology
PubMed also mentioned that the topical application of red ginseng extract has also demonstrated an ability to prevent cellular changes that can ultimately lead to skin cancer. A 22 week study in an animal model found that red ginseng “delayed tumor onset significantly”. The authors went on to say that, “red ginseng was also effective in reducing the UV radiation-induced skin tumors and reduced the number of tumors per mouse”. Furthermore, red ginseng extract also has the ability to heal burn wound areas quite quickly.Red Ginseng Skin Benefits
