American and Chinese Ginseng

Both American and Asian ginsengs belong to the species Panax and are similar in their chemical composition. Siberian ginseng or Eleuthero ( Eleutherococcus senticosus ), although part of the same plant family called Araliaceae , is an entirely different plant and does not contain ginsenosides, the active ingredients found in both Asian ( Panax ginseng ) and American ginseng ( Panax quinquefolius ).

There are similarities among American, Asian, and Siberian ginsengs. Each of these three herbs is considered an adaptogen, a substance that strengthens the body, helping it return to normal when it has been subjected to prolonged stress. Therefore, they are considered to be valuable supports for those recovering from illness or surgery, especially the elderly. The root of American ginseng is light tan and gnarled, sometimes resembles the human body. Panax means all illness, and ginseng has been used across the ages in many different cultures as a "cure-all."

Many studies on ginseng have been performed using Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng). There have been positive reports of using Asian ginseng to treat cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems, fatigue, as well as to boost energy and mental performance and to improve quality of life. However, both American and Asian ginsengs contain ginsenosides, and research does exist on this component. Laboratory studies in animals have reported that American ginseng was effective in boosting the immune system, as an antioxidant and protection against heart attacks.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are six external-causing factors of illness- wind, cold, heat, moisture, dryness, and internal heat. These interact with the seven emotions of happiness, anger, anxiety, pensive state, grief, fear, and surprise. Together, these ailments form the foundations of Chinese disease pathology. The goal then is to concentrate on the human as a whole and target any imbalances that may have transpired in an individual. Upon re-establishing equilibrium, Chinese medicine is thought to have ascertained the inner flow of the physical body. The Chinese combine their philosophies passed on through the centuries to explain human illnesses. The most influential of these philosophies was perhaps Taoism, which taught that nature is in constant flux. Good health can be attributed to a natural flow (tao) and disease is a direct result of going against that flow. Nature's flow is categorized into five elements- metal, fire, wood, water and earth. When these elements interact with yin (dark, cold, female, negative) and yang (light, hot, male, positive), the combination creates interrelationships that manage human ailments and illness.

According the myth, Chinese herablism, which is the base of Chinese traditional medicine, began approximately 5000 years ago. An agricultural clan leader, Shen Nung, who lived around 3494 BC, conducted experiments on himself in order to understand medicinal properties of different herbs. It is said that Shen had a crystal belly which he could watch the reactions of the herbs and save himself from a poison induced terminal fate. Legend has it that he recorded his experiments in a book called "Shen Nung Benchau Jing" (The Medicine Book of Shen Nung). Ginseng was among Shen's contributions in his wisdom on herbalism.

Around 100 AD, the first herbal pharmacology book was published by the naturalist, Sheng Neng Pen-T'sao. In his writings, he introduces an interesting technique to test the authenticity of the ginseng root:

"In order to test for the true ginseng, two persons walk together, one with a piece of ginseng root in his mouth, and the other with his mouth empty. If at the end of three to five li (about a mile and a quarter) the one with ginseng in his mouth does not feel himself tired, while the other is out of breath, the ginseng is genuine root."

 

Cocoa (chocolate beans)
A studies have found that a cup of hot cocoa is rich in powerful antioxidants.

Previous studies have also shown that cocoa can reduce the effects of ageing and may be richer in antioxidants than better known "healthy" drinks like tea and red wine.

Just over a year ago, researchers in France reported that a glass of red wine a day may cut a man's chances of having a second heart attack by half. In 1998, a study of more than 8,000 Americans found chocolate, which is made from cocoa, may even extend life. They are all rich in polyphenols, chemicals that have an antioxidant effect on the body. This means they can "mop up" free radicals - charged particles, produced by the body, which can damage cells.

Even though scientists recently found that chocolate isn't addictive, our melt-in-your-mouth friend scored big points in another study. British scientists observed couples while they ate squares of dark chocolate and while they kissed passionately. Guess what fellas: We lost! Women's heart rates rose 20 percent more and their bodies released 4 times the endorphins when they ate the cacao-rich chocolate. It's not a total loss though. At least you know those Valentine chocolates are well worth the money. If you really want to get technical, the women's version of "chocolate Viagra" used in the study was 65 percent cacao dark chocolate the same percentage we use in our Chocolate Passions.
