Abstract
|
|
|
Objective ; Generally it was known that Korean ginseng(Pm ginseng-white ginseng & red ginseng) increases body temperature, whereas Amencan ginseng(Pm quinquefolius) decreases body temperature. This study was designed to find out if Korean ginseng could increase body temperature comparing with American ginseng.
Methods ; Double-blind randomized controlled trials on superficial body temperature of Korean ginseng and American ginseng in Koreans and Chineses was performed by using thermography at 10 points(Yintang(EX-HN3), Shuigou(GV 261, Danzhong(CV 17), Zhongwan(CV 12), Right Quanliao(SI 18), Left Quanliao(S1 18), Right RenyingGT 91, Left Renying(ST 9), Right Yunmen(LI 2) and Left Yunmen(LI 2).
Results ; There was no significant difference between Korean ginseng and American ginseng in both Koreans and Chineses by repeated-measures ANOVA.
Conclusion ; It was revealed that Korean ginseng does not increase superficial body temperature. Maybe the concept that Korean ginseng increase body temperature is concerned with commercial interests dealing with American Ginseng.
