During the symposium, researchers revealed their eye-catching findings in

studies on immunity and blood circulation improvement such as an immunity

against the infection of COVID 19 and enhances immunity with time (professor

Seo Sang-hee's team from Chungnam National University, South Korea) and the

balance of blood pressure, contributing to the health of the cardiovascular

system (professor Muhammad Irfan's team from University of Chicago, Illinois,

U.S.).

Professor Vuksan's team from Canada verifies that ginseng improves blood

pressure of patients with high blood pressure and diabetes, and is safe for

consumption by the patients[1]

Professor Vuksan's team conducted a clinical test on 80 patients with Type 2

diabetes and high blood pressure for 12 weeks, and found the center systolic

blood pressure significantly reduced in the group administered with Korean red

ginseng and American ginseng in parallel after 12 weeks (reduction by 3.98±2

mmHg,p=0.04). Accordingly, it confirmed that ginseng can improve the center

systolic blood pressure of diabetic patients when administered auxiliary, apart

from medication, without directly affecting the function of blood vessels.

Professor Seikwan Oh's team from College of Medicine, Ehwa Women's University

verifies that red ginseng improves memory loss and learning ability

Professor Seikwan Oh's team (joint researcher: Bombi Lee from College of

Oriental Medicine, Kyunghee University) conducted a passive avoidance test and

Morris water maze test on 48 rats six to eight weeks old, divided in six

groups, to verify their learning and spatial cognition abilities after giving a

constant one-time stress and injecting red ginseng extract 20, 50,

100mg/kg/1day for 14 days. The results showed the red ginseng-injected group

showed no increase in NF-kB, which increased and caused inflammation in the

hippocampus of stressed group, and the generation of mRNA, which is the growth

factor of deteriorated cranial nerves, was recovered by 252.51% after injection

of red ginseng (p< 0.05).
