Ginseng Relieves Cancer-Related Fatigue | Fit as a fiddle | Scoop.it

"Ginseng appears to help relieve the fatigue experienced by 90% of people with cancer, according to a study that pitted ginseng capsules against placebo.

 

"People taking ginseng reported feeling less pooped, worn out, and sluggish than those taking placebo," says researcher Debra Barton, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in Rochester, Minn. Ginseng appeared to be as safe as placebo, at least over the eight-week period, she tells WebMD. Based on the findings, "I would recommend ginseng for patients with cancer-related fatigue," Barton says."
