Il termine panax ginseng evoca la panacea, nome dato dagli antichi a piante dalle grandi proprietà terapeutiche. Mentre il nome cinese si traduce all’incirca come “uomo dalle gambe allargate”, il mistero circa le le sue origini lo avvicinano storicamente alla celebre radice di mandragora dalle forme antropomorfe. Questa pianta dall’effetto rinforzante ha molte altre virtù e proprietà biologiche, di cui il potenziale terapeutico e immunostimolante è notevole. Come tutta una serie di piante denominate adattogene, è la diretta concorrente di un’altra tra le araliaceae, il ginseng americano o panax quinquefolium. Cosa sappiamo del Ginseng? Rari sono i casi di piante così ampiamente studiate dal punto di vista medico e scientifico. Questa opera fornisce un’ampia panoramica delle conoscenze a disposizione, dagli studi classici ai dati scientifici più aggiornati, proponendo una definizione della parola adattogena, fino ad oggi mancante. Il volume cataloga inoltre le altre piante dette adattogene precisando in cosa esse si differenziano dal ginseng.
