The root of GINSENG (Panax ginseng) is particularly rich in active ingredients, the root contains mostly saponin compounds with a triterpene structure, both tetracyclic of the damaran group and pentacyclic of the olean type; All these active ingredients go by the name of ginsenosides. The hormone-like structure of ginsenosides, which would constitute molecular skeletons used by our body to synthesize hormones it lacks, could justify many therapeutic actions attributed in the past to this drug such as, for example, that aphrodisiac and that capable of positively influencing some psychic disorders and neurovegetative disorders of the elderly mostly related to hormonal imbalances. Recent research has confirmed a positive influence of Ginseng preparations on the psychomotor reaction times of the elderly with an evident improvement in the neuromotor coordination capacity. In this sense, the effect of Ginseng is defined as tonic. The subjects examined presented an effective improvement in their mental performance, it was therefore hypothesized that a prolonged use of Ginseng preparations can maintain and improve memory over time due to a probable direct effect of the dopaminergic type. To all this must be added a peripheral effect which consists in the stimulation of the cardiovascular system and in the stimulation of glucose metabolism which would lead to an effective slowing down of brain aging. From the root of ELEUTHEROCOCCUS (Eleutherococcus senticosus) numerous heterosides have been extracted, among which the most important are: eleutheroside A, which is a glucoside of B-sitosterol. Eleutheroside B1, which is a glucosidecoumarin, eleutherosides B, D, E, which are syringaresinol glucosides, and eleutherosides I, K, L, which are triterpene in nature. Eleutherococcus is now considered an “adaptogen“”, in other words a complex of substances capable of balancing the cellular homeostatic mechanisms by stimulating the synthesis of mediators which govern the normal functioning of tissues and organs. This results in a increase in the body’s ability to adapt to unfavorable conditions that lead to fatigue, anxiety and a decrease in the effectiveness of the immune defenses and metabolic decompensations. The result is a set of stimulating properties tending to protect the body from the attack of stressful situations. Eleutherococcus preparations therefore possess an “anti-fatigue” action against physical and mental efforts, determine an increase in resistance against stress and regulate immunocompetence especially in periods preceding or following influenza pathologies (M. Rossi, in Erb. Domani, 5/87, p. 113). INDIAN GINSENG (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal.) is known in the Ayurvedic medical tradition as Ashwagandha. The plant grows spontaneously in India, but also in Italy (Sicily and Sardinia). The etymology of the word “ashwagandha” comes from the Sanskrit word “ashva“, which means horse, and from “gandha“, that is, smell, a name given to it by the fact that its root has a strong smell reminiscent of that of the horse. It contains steroid lactones (Withanolides), alkaloids (Withanin), Withaferin A, polysaccharides, aminoscides, etc. . It has been known and used since ancient times by Ayurvedic medicine, as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, tonic for the liver and for its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. It is to the alkaloid withania that the tonic and adaptogenic properties are due, for this reason able to increase the body’s resistance to external stimuli (stress, fatigue, etc.). Some studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the plant and this thanks to the steroids contained in it. The plant, as confirmed in a study, is useful in people stressed by the commitments of daily life and to whom it can give an invigorating effect and help for concentration, to maintain attention and memory.
From the plants described above it is possible to obtain TSA (Spagyric-Alchemic Tinctures) with extraction ratio 1 to 5 (R.E. 1/5) if you follow the indications given by Solanimus in his book “ALCHEMY and SPAGYRIA: admirabiles et inseparabiles Artes!”, where some practical notions of Spagyria or Spagyrya and Alchemy are described very well.
