Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Oriental Ginseng (Panax ginseng), also known as Asian or Korean Ginseng, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as a general tonic for vitality, stress resistance, and overall well-being. In TCM, ginseng is considered an "adaptogen," a substance believed to help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. The concept of "adrenal fatigue," as described in alternative medicine, does not have widespread recognition or validation in mainstream scientific or medical communities. However, in traditional practice, ginseng is often recommended for symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, and stress, which overlap with those described in "adrenal fatigue." Scientific studies on Panax ginseng have shown some adaptogenic effects, such as reducing fatigue and improving mood and cognitive performance in healthy and stressed populations, but these studies do not specifically address "adrenal fatigue" as a recognized medical condition. Most of the evidence supporting its use for this purpose is anecdotal or based on traditional use, with only limited scientific validation for general stress and fatigue. Therefore, while there is a strong traditional basis for using Oriental Ginseng to support symptoms associated with what some call "adrenal fatigue," robust clinical evidence for its efficacy in treating this specific condition is lacking.
