Summary/Abstract: Ginseng (GSG) is one of the most popular herbs in oriental countries and has, among other effects, an anti-stress activity. We assess the impact of a phytotherapic product (PP), on anxiety and salivary cortisol, in stress caused by a difficult exam of exams students session. Chosen subjects were students, selected according to the requirements of the study. Stress has been represented by a difficult exam of session students exams. Anxiety and salivary cortisol were analyzed. The PP used contains GSG root. Statistical evaluation was made on the basis of Student test. Anxiety and salivary cortisol were significantly reduced immediately pre- and poststres in subjects who were administered the PP containing GSG, compared with subjects who did not follow the phytotherapic treatment. In stress caused by a difficult students session exam, increasing anxiety was anticipatory, pre-stress, and increasing salivary cortisol was more intense post-stress. Under PP containing GSG influence, anxiety and salivary cortisol were significantly reduced immediately pre - and post exam. Between GSG treated group and untreated group, there were differences on dynamic developments for anxiety and salivary cortisol, and the influence of used PP containing GSG was significantly more intense on anxiety than on salivary cortisol. The use of PP containing GSG, may be an effective, safe and accessible modulion path for stress caused by a difficult students session exam.
