Declining or Waning
- Traditional Herbal Formulations:
Research on traditional herbal formulations that include ginseng alongside other herbs seems to be decreasing, possibly due to a growing emphasis on isolating ginseng's specific effects rather than its use in combination with other botanicals. - Basic Phytochemical Analysis:
While foundational studies on the phytochemical composition of ginseng remain important, the frequency of purely descriptive studies focusing on phytochemical profiling has declined in favor of more applied research exploring therapeutic mechanisms. - In vitro Studies without Translational Relevance:
There appears to be a waning interest in simple in vitro studies that do not extend to in vivo or clinical implications, as researchers increasingly focus on translational studies that connect laboratory findings to clinical outcomes. - Animal Models for Non-Medicinal Uses:
Research utilizing ginseng in animal models for non-medicinal purposes, such as purely exploratory or basic biology studies, is becoming less common as the journal leans towards studies with clear therapeutic relevance.
