Možné nežádoucí efekty: Gynekomastie během puberty, gastritida při podávání nalačno.

Z pohledu Tradiční čínské medicíny silně doplňuje prvopočáteční ČCHI - této vlastnosti se využívá v případech silného vyčerpání organizmu.

Dále doplňuje slezinu a podporuje plíce, proto bývá ženšen dle TCM používán v případech oslabeného trávení, sníženého příjmu potravy, nadýmání, řídké stolici a celkového vyčerpání sleziny, která pak může zapříčinit až poklesem orgánů. Např. výhřez dělohy, výhřez konečníku a podobně.

Pokud dochází k nedostatečnému výstupu JANGU do hlavy, což může vyvolávat oslabení sluchu, či zraku, lze ženšen kombinovat s Kozincem blanitým. Ten se používá i v případech, kdy prázdnota ČCHI sleziny již není déle schopna udržet krev ve svých drahách, a tak dochází k samovolným výtokům krve do stolice, moči, či ke krvácení z nosu. Stejně tak se ženšen užívá i v případě tvorby otoků z nedostatečné transformace tekutin, která mají opět příčinu ve vyčerpání JANGOVÉ energie sleziny.

Pokud je ale vyčerpána JINOVÁ složka sleziny, což se může projevit například suchou stolicí, suchem až pálením v ústech, kombinuje se Ženšen s Jamem čínským.

Ženšen má taktéž schopnost vyživovat ČCHI plic, proto se může kombinovat s plody Klanoprašky čínské (Schizandra chinensis, Wu Wei Zi - 五味子) při kašli a potížích s dechem, hlavně v případě dušnosti s kašlem a oslabení hlasu s řídkými světlými hleny.

Ženšen též rodí tekutiny a zastavuje žízeň - této vlastnosti ženšenu se využívá, když je oslabena transformace a distribuce tělních tekutin, se kterou je spojený pocit žízně, který je vyvolaný zraněním ČCHI a jin. K tomuto případu dochází například u cukrovky. Ženšen má schopnost silně doplňovat primární ČCHI a tím i podporovat tvorbu tekutin.

Uklidňuje ducha a navyšuje intelekt, protože ženšen silně doplňuje prvopočáteční ČCHI a ČCHI srdce, která rovněž ovlivňuje duševní činnost. Prázdnota ČCHI srdce se projevuje nespavostí, nesoustředěností, zapomnětlivostí. Pokud je oslabena slezina, lze očekávat lehké spaní, zapomnětlivost, řídkou stolici apod. Pokud je nespavost spojena ještě s lekavostí, lze předpokládat prázdnotu žlučníku. V případech prázdnoty krve lze ženšen kombinovat s Andělikou čínskou.

V současné době je Ženšen pravý považována za všelék, kterým však v žádné případě není, přesto že je označen přídomkem "panax" ( z řeckého πάναξ, πάνακες). Proto je třeba upozornit, že se může užívat pouze pro příslušné choroby, nikoli jako všeobecný stimulátor.

Ženšen má vliv jak na regulaci hladiny krevního cukru a sérového cholesterolu, tak i na krevní tlak. Zlepšuje činnost mozku i funkci paměti, odstraňuje únavu, má protistresový účinek a je také vhodným prostředkem při léčbě Parkinsonovy a Alzheimerovy choroby. Zbystřuje smysly, působí anabolicky, chrání organismus před vyčerpáním. Má antioxidační vlastnosti, tj. neutralizuje volné radikály. Stimuluje krvetvornou tkáň kostní dřeně a je účinný při léčbě chudokrevnosti - anémie. Zvyšuje hladinu testosteronu, vyrovnává mužskou i ženskou hormonální aktivitu. U mužů může mít i příznivý vliv na erekci.

V kombinaci s gumojilmem jilmovým (Eucommia ulmoides; Du Zhong, 中醫) se podává na zmírnění dopadu stárnutí na kůži.

Při pokusech byla zlepšena funkce levé chlopně použitím směsi výtažků z kořenů ženšenu pravého, anděliky čínské a kozince blanitého (yi-qi huo-xue, YI Qi Huo Xue - 翊气活血) díky ochraně a obnově kardiomyocytů.
