Ginseng in Chinese is “man root” because its roots resemble little human with forks that look like arms and legs. Some people have heard that ginseng is healthy to the body, but actually don’t even know why. And some people would say “oh, it’s good for your skin” but don’t really know what it actually does. If you really don’t know, it’s okay because you’re not alone. Coming from an Asian family background, I don’t know either besides my mom telling me that it’s healthy. So, I’ve done some research and here are some things I got so far.
I found that ginseng is great for human health in several ways. It strengthens the immune system and helps patience with diabetes to improve blood sugar level. It helps ease menstrual cramps for ladies. It serves as a stimulant for athletes because it is believed to help increase energy levels. It improves cellular health and helps patience feel less fatigue. And last but not least, I found that ginseng does a wonderful job improving your skin!
Ginseng is super rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants which are great for your skin. Ginseng mask is best for anti-aging because it helps reduce wrinkles and gets rid of the free radicals on your skin. The mask is great for reducing acne outbreaks and rosacea because it has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps protect the skin from UV radiation and also brightens up skin tones.
Right after I found out about the skin benefits of ginseng, I went to buy ginseng powder at a local Chinese pharmacy and made my own mask at home with honey and lemon. It is easy and convenient. So why don’t you try it too! And don’t forget to moisturize your face with a cream or a serum.
