RangerClay Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 A friend of mine swears by this stuff. I would like to try it but unsure of brands or amount. Do any of you take ginseng and could you tell me why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Do any of you take ginseng? It's suppose to help with memory but I can't remember if I take it or not Just kidding. I actually take Ginko instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M00N Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Do any of you take ginseng? I work with herbal remedies when sick. You should invest in a herb book if you intend to take herbs. Despite them not being a regulated substance if you take incorrect dosages of them you can harm yourself. I've heard of people ODing on ginseng and dying from taking too much of it. Herbs work great in my opinion at helping prevent you from having to take hardcore medicines to heal common colds and ailments, but taken incorrectly or too much is unhealthy for you and dangerous. It's a common mistake people make with herbs they get in the mindset that since it's not regulated that it cannot possibly hurt them and then think if I take more it'll work better when it doesn't.

wtnhunt Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Do any of you take ginseng? Pretty sure some vitamin multi packs have ginseng in them. Used to take some I would buy from wal mart, dont remember the brand, but think they had ginseng in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Do any of you take ginseng? I take ginseng and St. John's wart. Like Moon said, always take herbs in small dosages. Also, like Moon said, they're not regulated by the FDA so you're never sure what you're buying is actually healthy for you. That includes anything sold in stores like GNC and the Viatmin Shoppe. Just do a quick google search and you should be able to find recommended dosages for your age, height, weight etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Do any of you take ginseng? When I decided to quit dipping, I switched to an herbal all natural dip called Smokey Mountain Snuff. It is free of tobacco and nicatine, replaced with ginseng. So in a way, yes I've taken it. About a can a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
