Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Ginseng has been traditionally used in various systems of medicine, particularly in East Asia, as a general tonic to support vitality, mental clarity, and resilience to stress. Its use for addiction is primarily rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng is believed to restore balance and improve overall well-being, which can be indirectly related to supporting individuals dealing with addiction by mitigating withdrawal symptoms and improving mood or energy levels. However, when it comes to modern scientific validation, there is very limited direct evidence supporting ginseng’s efficacy in treating or managing addictions. Some preclinical studies suggest that certain compounds in ginseng may modulate neurotransmitter systems involved in addiction (such as dopamine), but clinical trials in humans are lacking or inconclusive. Thus, while its use persists in traditional remedies, especially for general support during recovery, it should not be considered a substitute for evidence-based addiction treatments. Further research is needed to clarify any potential direct benefits of ginseng in the context of addiction.
