Recommended doses?

Hello - I'm not experienced enough to know or edit according to the accepted Wikipedia format for articles... but I can tell when there is information missing that I might be looking for which could / would be of interest to others. In this case, there is nothing in this article about doses - recommended, excessive or overdosages. This information is of special importance for supplements where the FDA usually has not posted any helpful guidance for researchers & potential users. Anyone with more knowledge & experience want to step up?

Cheers,

effects of consuming

while i wont ask for the usual marketing blah-blah about what it is supposed to do to its consumers - like anecdotic evidence: "there lived once a man who was taking it daily and had his blindness cured by it", nevertheless it would be nice to find a paragraph describing the generic notion experienced by people who consume it, i mean something in the lines of a description that could be given for coffee, tea, chocholate, etc(*). so this would be something less than a claim for specific medically significant effects, yet more informative than just merely passing on the information that in a scientific-medical sense no useful effect is proven as yet.(80.98.114.70 (talk) 12:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)). (*):or tobacco, or chilli pepper, or garlic, or cinnamon. (80.98.114.70 (talk) 12:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)).[reply]

Dubious and unintelligible claims

None of the following is sourced, and I'm going to be bold and give it the sh*t can.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, American ginseng promotes yin energy, cleans excess yang and calms the body. The reason it has been claimed that American ginseng promotes yin (shadow, cold, negative, female) while Asian ginseng promotes yang (sunshine, hot, positive, male) is that, according to traditional Chinese medicine, things living in cold places or northern side of mountains or southern side of rivers are strong in yang and the converse, so the two are balanced.[citation needed] Chinese/Korean ginseng grows in Manchuria and Korea, the coldest area known to many Koreans in ancient times. Thus, ginseng from there is supposed to be very yang.

New Panax article

An article for the genus Panax needs to be created, at least a stub. Panax redirects to Ginseng so some of the information in this article is superfluous to ginseng. I have no idea what this takes to do.User-duck (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Panax article created

I moved content to create a Panax article. Primarily, I moved the list of species which I had added previously to this article. I also moved information about the ginseng (the plant) to focus this article on ginseng (the product).User-duck (talk) 18:13, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
