What is GINSENG?
Ginseng is one of the most venerable herbs. It has been in continuous use in China, to restore vital energy, for over 2000 years. There are actually three different herbs commonly called ginseng – Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus). The last herb is actually not ginseng at all although it is believed to function in a similar way. Sometimes called adaptogens, the ginsengs increase resistance to stress, enhance mental alertness, and improve stamina and immunity.
