Panax quinquefolius
American Ginseng is a member of the Araliaceae family and can be found growing with bright red berries under moist, shady canopies. Native to the eastern forested mountains of the North American continent, the Chinese consider it a superior choice to Asian ginseng for improving immunity, increased mental performance, and balance. However, popularity of this root as an adrenal tonic and vitality boosting herb has severely impacted the wild populations in this region, making organically grown American Ginseng the most ecological choice.
Traditional Preparations American Ginseng can be taken as an extract, tea, or capsule. Some people also enjoy the mildly stimulating effects felt from chewing on its roots.
Herbal Curiosities The word Panax is derived from the Greek word “pan” which means “all” and “akos” which means “cure”. At its peak, wild Ginseng root was harvested and sold for $1000 per pound.
