Mental Health How does ginseng increase endorphin production ?

[alteredstatez]

I put this question under mental health i'm currently researching natural ways herbs,excercise,nootropics etc to help relieve depression and anxiety doing a google search for natural ways to increase endorphin's I come across several sites saying ginseng does but haven't found any studies
I figure it has to have some backing behind the claim korean ginseng is stated to be the best one at doing this
If anyone has any input it would be great

I've taken ginseng many times and feel nothing
Sometimes i actually feel worse,
but then again i think i have an endorphin deficiency, I have run up to 5 miles (which is a lot for me) and i'v NEVER felt a "runner's high" in my life even after Sparring in karate for an hour straight, which is the most tired i've ever been.

Be careful if you take any medication for your depression/anxiety. Ginseng can affect the way some psychiatric medications are broken down and hence reduce their efficacy.
