For more than 5000 years, Panax ginseng has been highly treasured in Chinese traditional medicine, with the belief that this mysterious plant with its man-shaped, bifurcated root promotes longevity, helps to maintain equilibrium in the human body and enhances our body's ability to resist various illnesses. For these reasons, Panax ginseng has been one of the most sought after natural medicines in the world. The genus Panax derives its name from the Greek words pan (all) and akos (healing). Panax ginseng has been extensively studied in numerous laboratories. Kimura [1] reported on the efficacy of topical Panax ginseng in promoting wound healing in laboratory animals. Morisaki [2] in 1995 showed that the local administration of ginseng extract markedly improved wound healing in diabetic and aging rats, proving the thousand year-old beliefs by modern scientific methodologies. In laboratory experiments, Choi [3] reported on ginseng's ability to promote and improve wound healing. In another study [4] Panax ginseng was shown to stimulate growth of skin cells during wound healing. Further studies by Pazyar [5] revealed that ginseng inhibits NF-kappa B, TGF-β, IL-6, ACE and MMP-2, factors that play a pivotal role in keloid and scar formation.was formulated by Dr. Michael Tirgan, a keloid specialist who focuses on treatment and research in keloid disorder and heavy scarring. Having treated several hundred patients with keloids and heavy scars, Dr. Tirgan formulated the first scar and keloid cream that is based on scientific and laboratory research. The quest continues to improve upon what we have to treat these conditions with and to find even better treatments for them. Until we discover better topical treatments for scars and keloids,is the most logical choice for treatment and prevention of scars. According to consumer survey, 50-60% of individuals who used the product for keloid reported improvement in pruritus (itching). Image below is a clinical proof of concept showing ability of the product to induce remission in small keloidal lesions.
