Ginseng acts in the human organism in an adaptogenic way, that is, it has the capacity to increase physical and psychological resistance to adverse conditions such as stress, restoring balance and normality to its functions. Although of similar properties, the one known as Siberian ginseng, being of the same family, belongs to a different gender, reason why it is not considered the same medicinal plant. It is a cheaper alternative crop, although it has similar properties, does not contain ginsenosides, which are found in other varieties, so their benefits are not identical. Ginseng root also contains other amounts, although to a lesser extent, of B group vitamins, amino acids, essential oils, enzymes and minerals. Currently red Korean ginseng is the most in demand, and also the one with the highest price in the market. There are many types of this herb, but the most popular are American ginseng and Asian ginseng. Ginseng has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties beneficial to our body. ![cerebro-emitiendo-ondas-alfa-1024x714.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX8ikdDdWMGxxXLjmy1jv92ZZ3ZQaTLjtwVM2GCcTeMnT/cerebro-emitiendo-ondas-alfa-1024x714.jpg) [Source](https://lamenteesmaravillosa.com/como-activar-nuestras-ondas-alfa-2/) Ginseng may help improve brain functions such as memory, behavior, and mood. ![erectil.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPr9U9wiqokoqMmBQcmMsfPgjY7FtGLyCBhh3JqpvXZRf/erectil.png) [Source](http://qldlitho.com.au/erectile-dysfunction-treatment/) Ginseng can be a useful alternative for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men, as the compounds it contains can protect against oxidative stress in the blood vessels and tissues in the penis and help restore normal function.
