Ginseng and diabetes

My wife was recently recommended ginseng for diabetes. Does it work?

There are some reports that the American ginseng may lower blood sugars. However, these studies are small and not all researchers have been able to reproduce these findings. In addition, millions of Orientals have been consuming kilograms of this herb each year and yet there seem to have the worst type of diabetes- so that should tell you about the healing powers of ginseng. 


At the moment ginseng alone is not recommended for treatment of diabetes. You may take it with your diabetic medications.
