It appears the cited study only looked at Panax Ginseng, and as such, should not be generalized to all ginseng. Additionally, I have been unable to find any evidence that Panax Ginseng has had documented interactions with any antidepressants other than MAOI's. Since there is great diversity among antidepressants, this too should be specified, and not generalized to all AD's.

It's a fairly short article. But the thing is you would have to merge the medicial benefits with the main "ginseng" article.

Sourcing

[edit]

User:Zefr, can you please review whether the article Ginseng is adequately sourced? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 07:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As with any consumed herbs or food ingredients, the literature supporting health effects is dubious and low-quality, exemplified by this PubMed search, which displays sources in MDPI (predatory) and untrustworthy altmed journals. To keep the information readily understandable for non-science users, I would rely on Drugs.com and MedlinePlus here and/or here, i.e., it is not effective for anything. Zefr (talk) 20:01, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I read this article and it didn't contain any health claims at all, but I thought you have a different pair of eyes and could notice something that I missed. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Over the years, there have been many attempts to insert health claims. The section on traditional medicine states well the absence of clear efficacy, and the section on FDA warning letters specifies the regulatory position on US supplement companies which are still marketing ginseng products falsely claimed as therapies. Zefr (talk) 20:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed any unsourced mentions about "therapeutic" properties, can you please review this diff https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ginseng&diff=1209426548&oldid=1209289836 to let me know whether it addresses your concern and the article content is now OK for you.
