What is the difference between the various ginsengs American, Korean, and Siberian?
Ginseng is considered a “restorative” or aid in adaptation to stress. The American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) is more sedative and relaxing, while helping stress, fatigue, and nervousness. Components of American ginseng help to reduce levels of substances that participate in both inflammatory and allergic responses, and help control fever and pain. It is now being studied for benefits in sugar regulation and controlling blood fats.
