Strength of herbal remedy tested
Scientists on Tyneside are launching a study into the long-term effects of the popular Chinese herbal remedy ginseng.
A team at Northumbria University need volunteers to take part in the 20-week study into the herb's affect on memory, attention and mood.
A previous trial at the university's Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit (HCNU) found a single dose of the herb relieved fatigue and boosted memory.
Now they want to know the effects of gingseng on the body long-term.
PhD student Jonathon Reay, who is leading the research, said: "Volunteers will be asked to undertake a series of computerised cognitive assessments to monitor ginseng's effects on memory, attention and mood.
