Panax pseudoginseng, also known as "Tienchi ginseng," has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In this tradition, it is primarily valued for its ability to invigorate blood circulation, stop bleeding, and reduce swelling, but it is also sometimes used to combat fatigue and support overall vitality. While Panax ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and related species such as Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng) are more commonly associated with improving energy and reducing fatigue, Panax pseudoginseng is occasionally used in formulas intended to enhance energy, likely due to its general adaptogenic properties attributed by traditional herbalists. However, scientific evidence supporting the use of Panax pseudoginseng specifically for increasing energy or alleviating fatigue is limited. Most modern research on energy enhancement focuses on Panax ginseng, which contains higher concentrations of ginsenosides, the compounds thought to be responsible for adaptogenic effects. Studies on Panax pseudoginseng have primarily examined its hemostatic and cardiovascular effects rather than its impact on energy levels. As such, the rationale for using Panax pseudoginseng to support energy is based more on traditional usage patterns and historical application rather than robust scientific validation.
