Ginseng Panax

Description

Botanical Name: Panax ginseng

About This Herb: Our Ginseng root is harvested from cultivated plants (wild is extremely rare and protected) after several years of growth, then carefully dried. The name “Panax” means “all-healing” in Greek, and this legendary root has been prized in Asia for thousands of years. The human-shaped root is considered especially valuable.

Traditional Uses: Ginseng is an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to stress while supporting energy, stamina, and cognitive function. It’s traditionally used for fatigue, weakness, low libido, and convalescence. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s considered a Qi tonic, supporting vital energy. It’s also used for immune support and blood sugar balance.

How to Prepare: As a tea, simmer 1 teaspoon in water for 15-20 minutes. The flavor is bitter and earthy—best with honey. As a tincture, take 20-40 drops up to three times daily. Often used in cycles (2-3 weeks on, 1 week off) for best results.

Safety & Considerations: Not for use during pregnancy or nursing. May interact with blood thinners, diabetes medications, and stimulants. Avoid with high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, or insomnia. Not for long-term daily use without breaks. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
