Can American ginseng help with diabetes?
Type-2 diabetes is usually managed by a combination of diet, exercise and daily insulin injections if necessary. However the value of two herbs, American ginseng and Coccinia, are being increasingly recognised. Because they have different modes of action, they complement each other and both can be taken together. American ginseng modulates glucose uptake by cells in the body, and acts to reduce and stabilise blood glucose at normal levels.
