Will ginseng kill you or harm you in any way?

Question

I was told it would, please let me know.

Answer 1

If so, I would have been dead a long time ago... I mean seriously dead...

In short, no ginseng is a great supplement and has hundreds of years of research behind it. It is also one of the safest supplements out there... Personally I prefer the Korean Panax Ginseng, but there certainly are plenty others...

Answer 2

That's ridiculous! Who told you that? People have been drinking ginseng for thousands of years and I drink it all the time!

Answer 3

Ginseng will make hair grow in your butt crack. No..REALLY. My brother drank some and now he has so much hair there that every time he mowes the lawn he has to weed-eat his crack!

Answer 4

Even water or lettuce can kill you at the right doses, but ginseng is not considered a toxic herb. It can be quite rejuvinating and can be beneficial for the elderly, but makes some people a bit jittery. Also, some ginseng (there are many types) are treated to make them very Yang, or warming in nature and can disrupt the Yin/Yang balance in the body.

Answer 5

ginseng can harm you but it won't kill you. It can harm you by making your bones brital meaning they will crack very easily.  IT is also not very good for your heart.  It is especially not good for elders who are in their 80s

Answer 6

Everything is toxic with enough doses. But I think it would take a LOT of ginseng to reach toxic levels.
