Warding Off the Common Cold

In 2005, researchers conducted a study on panax quinquefolius. The study involved 279 volunteers. For four months, some in the group were given placebo and some were given 400 mg of ginseng (panax quinquefolius). The end results showed that only 10 percent of the ginseng takers got two or more colds, compared to 23 percent in the placebo group. The ginseng takers also reported less severe cold symptoms.
