It also has a reputation for improving mental clarity and memory, enhancing physical stamina, and bolstering the immune system. Studies have revealed ginseng can normalize blood sugar in type 2 Diabetes, and work as remedy for insomnia, and chest congestion, such as wheezing, persistent coughs, and shortness of breath. Ginseng is considered a general tonic, strengthening the heart, spleen, liver, lungs, kidneys, and pancreas, thereby improving overall health and prolonging life. Hence, it is categorized as an anti-aging herb. There are strong indications it being a potent aphrodisiac for both males and females; it also eases symptoms of erectile dysfunction in some men.
