Function:
1. Ginseng can regulate the balance between the exciting process and the inhibiting process of the central nervous system. By studying the effect of ginseng on animal EEG activity, the results show that it has both exciting and inhibitory effects on neural processes, but mainly strengthens the exciting process of cerebral cortex. Because it acts on the inhibition process at the same time, the inhibition tends to be concentrated, the differentiation is accelerated and more complete.
2. Ginseng can regulate the nerve function and restore the nerve process caused by stress. Ginsenoside Rb has central sedative effect, and mixed saponins Rb 1, Rb2 and Rc have sedative effect. Rg class has central excitatory effect. The effects of ginsenoside on the central nervous system are low-dose excitation and high-dose inhibition.
3. intraperitoneal injection of 5g/kg ginseng aqueous solution can obviously reduce the spontaneous activity of mice. Ginseng water immersion can also resist convulsions caused by cocaine, strychnine and pentylenetetrazol, and reduce the death rate of convulsions. It is reported that the natural neutral saponins of ginseng have sedative and tranquilizing effects, as well as analgesic, muscle relaxation and cooling effects.
