Based on its bidirectional regulatory effects, ginseng is particularly suitable for metabolic disorders and has fewer side effects. Modern pharmacological research has proven that ginseng has the following pharmacological characteristics:

1. Regulatory effect on metabolism: Under conditions of stress and intense exercise, ginseng has a significant effect of inhibiting endogenous glycogen. Since ginseng promotes the body to save and utilize carbohydrates, it can resist fatigue. Ginseng can reduce the poisoning effects of ethanol (alcohol). For example, ginseng can increase the median lethal dose (LD50) of ethanol for mice. The reason for the above effect is that ginseng improves the liver and detoxification functions. Ginseng also has the above-mentioned bidirectional regulatory properties on the liver and limb system's elements. In addition, ginseng has a pan-regulatory effect on the metabolism of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein.

2. Enhance immune function: Ginseng can enhance immune function, including promoting the formation of antibodies and complement and stimulating nonspecific immune function.

3. Regulate the function of endocrine system: Ginseng has the function of regulating pituitary-adrenal cortex hormones, sex hormones and thyroid gland.

4. Regulate the nervous system: enhance learning and working ability and anti-fatigue effect. In addition, ginseng can be combined with other Chinese medicines to treat cardiovascular and urinary system diseases. In recent years, it has been discovered that ginseng saponins in ginseng have an inhibitory effect on cancer cells in vitro, and at the same time, long-term use has no side effects. However, it should be noted that people suffering from colds, fevers, typhoid fever, heat stroke, dysentery, rashes, etc. should not take ginseng.
