Ginseng, particularly Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), has been used in traditional medicine systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. In TCM, ginseng is believed to support overall vitality and is sometimes used to strengthen the "Spleen" and "Qi," which may refer to digestive health in a broad sense, but not specifically the anatomical pancreas head. Some traditional applications involve using ginseng for digestive complaints or metabolic weakness, which could be interpreted as indirectly supporting pancreatic function.

However, there is limited direct traditional reference to ginseng being used specifically for the "pancreas head" as understood in Western medicine. The evidence for its use to support the pancreas is therefore indirect and based largely on broader traditional concepts of energy and digestion. While some laboratory and animal studies suggest that ginseng may have beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, supporting the pancreas's endocrine function, robust clinical evidence in humans is limited. Thus, the use of ginseng for direct support of the pancreas head is rooted more in tradition and broad wellness claims than in targeted scientific validation or specific historical use for that anatomical structure.
