Panax ginseng is a member of the ivy family that is represented by nearly a dozen different species that occur naturally in the cool regions of eastern Asia. The herb is also cultivated, with China and South Korea as the largest producers.

More commonly referred to as Chinese, Korean or Asian ginseng, Panax ginseng is classified as an adaptogen, which means the herb assists the body to resist the effects of stress. Chinese red ginseng is the name given to the unpeeled root of the species that has been processed by steam.


Background: In China, ginseng has been a vital herb for over 7 millenia. Wars have been won and lost in order to have control over the production of this beneficial plant. It's been used in Europe since the 800s. It became popular in the Western Hemisphere in the 1700s. 

Description: Ginseng is a plant that grows to about 3 feet in height. It has small yellow flowers. The root is harvested in the fall. Before it's used it must be washed, steamed, then dried.

Safety: Do not take more than the recommended dose of Ginseng. Don't take for more than six weeks to avoid becoming dependent on ginseng. Do not take if pregnant. Don't use caffeine when using ginseng. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of any herb.
