Description:

American Ginseng, as its name suggests, originates from the US, and specifically from eastern North America, with the most well-known variant of the American Ginseng hailing from the state of Wisconsin.

American Ginseng has been used in Chinese Medicine since the 1700s. Like all ginseng, the wild variety is superior to the rest as it contains a higher level of ginsenosides. However, wild American Ginseng is rare and has been overharvested because of its immense popularity. Hence, in Wisconsin, Canada and China, American Ginseng is commercially cultivated.

Chemical analyses show that American Ginseng contains many active ingredients, such as ginseng saponin, ginseng polyglucose, triterpenes compound, nearly 40 kinds of naphtha, vitamins, proteins, and more than 18 kinds of amino acids, minerals and other microelements.

American Ginseng has a cooling effect. It is a Yin tonic that helps promote the secretion of Body Fluids, reduce heat in the body, soothe the Lungs, quench thirst and restore energy. Pharmacological studies have proven that American Ginseng contains adaptogens that help balance the Yin and Yang in the body.

American Ginseng harmonises your body system and helps you to maintain good health. It is especially beneficial for smokers, urban dwellers, people prone to fatigue and irritability, as well as stressed individuals who lead a busy active life.
