Ginseng has been found to be an effective treatment for arthritis.

The Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine said Saturday that it has confirmed that elements in ginseng can effectively treat arthritis by suppressing the activity of enzymes that damage joints.

The recent finding has been published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

Experts say drinking ginseng tea or milk containing ground-up ginseng can help treat arthritis.

Previous studies found that ginseng is also effective in treating arteriosclerosis and diabetes.
