Ginseng as a
Potential Novel Addition to the Antikeloid Weaponry - Phytother Res. 2012
Feb 8 - "Keloid scars are large protruding claw-shaped lesions that develop
beyond the confines of the wound and uniquely appears only in humans. For
thousands of years ginseng has been used in the traditional medicine in oriental
countries. It occupies a prominent position in the list of the best-selling
medicinal herbs in the world. Panax ginseng often called Asian or Korean
ginseng, is the most extensively used and the best grade of ginseng and the term
of 'ginseng' generally refers to Panax ginseng. Previous studies have revealed
that ginseng inhibits NF-kappa B, TGF-β, IL-6, ACE and MMP-2 and these factors
play a pivotal role in keloid formation pathogenesis. Therefore it could be
reasoned that ginseng could be effective for the treatment of the keloid scars.
Clinical studies by topical applications of iPanax notoginseng (800 µg/ml) are
warranted" - See
