Ginseng has been considered the ancient root of vitality. Learn about its two main varieties: the energizing Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and the calming American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), both with a rich history in traditional medicine.
Explore the health benefits of ginseng, from its energizing and adaptogenic ability to combat fatigue and improve well-being to its positive effects on brain function, such as improving memory and concentration. I also address its benefits for cardiovascular health and blood sugar control, especially in type 2 diabetes, as well as its cosmetic use.
I explain its forms of both culinary and medicinal use and how to make ginseng tea. It is also important to explain the possible adverse effects and interactions.
