Little known facts

Ginseng is a Panax, a genus belonging to 11 slow-growing perennial species of plants.

Ginseng is commonly found in the Northern Hemisphere in certain areas of China, Korea, and eastern Siberia.

The botanical name of ginseng, Panax is derived from the Greek word, "panacea" that means all healing. Panax comes from the Greek word meaning power. The name of ginseng comes from the Chinese word for "man plant."

Ginseng is found to have been effective as far back as the first century in an old Chinese text. The text reads, "Enlightening to the mind and increasing the wisdom. Continuous use, it is said, leads to longevity."

The Manchurian Ginseng is from the mountains of China. It is said to be the best. Old roots have been known to sell for as much as $20,000. Off the shores of Korea, one of these old roots was actually bought for $10,000 per ounce in 1976.

The majority of the people in China and Japan actually like the American Ginseng.

Ironically enough, we here in North America actually prefer the Chinese and Korean variety.

Like a great wine, age is said to have a lot to do with the ginseng root's value.

Some say that a peculiar kind of illumination can be seen on the extremely old roots. Perhaps, you might say that ginseng roots glow in the dark.

Taking ginseng for up to a full year is much more effective than if it was taken in short term doses.

Ginseng contains a lot of germanium.

Another important note: Women should not prolong the use of ginseng. Some suggest that women use the Panax variety for no more than 6 weeks at a time, taking month periods off in between.

True effects

The germanium content in ginseng can be helpful in providing the all of the body with energy.

If you're suffering from stress or fatigue, ginseng can be great for regenerating the body and rebuilding body strength. Ginseng can also reduce any nervous reactions you might have with stress.
