The ginseng honey drink is a refreshing booster tonic


The ginseng honey drink is a refreshing tonic drink made of the exotic oriental herb, ginseng which is known since ancient times to have active natural ingredients that are effective for reducing stress level, promoting cell regeneration by increasing oxygenation to the cells, revitalizing blood circulation, and detoxifying the body. American ginseng has long been in high demand by the Chinese and other Asian peoples for its medicinal and mystical properties, and as the population of the far east continues to rise so does the demand and prices paid for those "roots of gold". While the health benefits of ginseng are only now becoming well-known here in the west, the Chinese have been using it to aid in warding off and healing a number of ailments for thousands of years.
 North Americans have been harvesting wild ginseng roots and shipping them to Asia for centuries now, but today the plant is becoming ever more rare in its native woodland habitat. . Among the varied promises of this popular herb are an increased physical stamina and vitality, better resistance to stress, and a rejuvenated nervous system. Also not all potential risks and advantages of ginseng are known. The most common side effects are nervousness, agitation, insomnia, diarrhea, and headaches. As ginseng has an estrogen-like effect, children, pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers are advised not to take it. Occasionally, there have been reports of more serious side effects, such as asthma attacks, increased blood pressure, and heart palpitations.

 

 So far, there are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds to minimize the risk of contamination. Ginseng isn't a difficult crop to grow, and if you have access to a plot of hardwood forest woodland the actual work involved can be very minimal. But even if you can't grow your 'seen in the woods, you can still produce a crop of cultivated ginseng under artificial shade which will bring in a hefty paycheck at harvest time. Growing ginseng isn't a route to overnight riches because it takes at least three years for a crop to mature enough to harvest and sell, but it does pay handsomely in the end when it comes time to sell your roots of gold. Life Mel honey is an all-natural honey produced by bees that are fed a specific blend of therapeutic herbs including Echinacea, nettles, Calendula, Avena sativa, Melilotus, ginseng, red clover, Melissa, mulberry, dandelion, chicory, bilberry, Elecampane, fig and beet-root. These plants are rich in vitamins, minerals, flavanoids and essential oils that work directly on the immune system.
 Ginseng roots are always seen as high quality, expensive items on the shelf, but an icy bottle of chrysanthemum ginseng or ginseng honey drink made from ginseng extract powder costs slightly more than a dollar at my workplace cafeteria. A very healthy and economical beverage, if you could take the taste. The roots are bitter and the taste is unpleasant to most people. Some Westerners have even described the taste of ginseng tea as awfully "dirt-like". This herb is not something that people would eat or drink for its taste. To moderate its flavor, it is often combined with other fragrant ingredients such as chrysanthemum, lotus paste, cocoa, cinnamon, coffee, green tea, lemon, or even honey which is a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal preservative for ginseng and its compounds. Honey also contains a wide variety of vitamins, including vitamin  B1,  B2 , B5, B6, and minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and zinc, anti-oxidants and amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. This seems to be a very simple solution to a very serious problem. If you have to undergo chemotherapy, knowing that it will destroy many good blood cells, it seems imperative to do everything possible to counteract the destructive process. Taking two teaspoonfuls of all natural honey a day (the recommended dosage) will not cure the disease, but may well make the difference in sustaining the white blood cell count so that the chemotherapy treatments can be administered to kill the cancer and not totally destroy the immune system.
 Ginseng honey is also widely used in the revitalization of skin cells. For instance, ginseng-honey soaps, cleansers, toners, creams, and lotions have been developed for skin care to help in energizing sluggish and repairing lackluster skin. Its immune-boosting qualities and constituents stimulate and regenerate the metabolism on the cell-level, foster cell regeneration, enhance nourishment, support healthy skin functions, and address skin problems such as eczema, wrinkles and freckles.
