Chinese Ginseng is well known for its revitalising properties. The most valuable Chinese Ginseng is the wild variety which thrives in the remote mountains and dense forests of North-east China, notably those from the Changbai Mountains in Jilin Province. These places have just the right amount of moisture, an ideal temperature and a unique soil quality for the optimum growth of Chinese Ginseng.

Chinese Ginseng revitalises the inborn energy (Yuán Qì), an inherent energy source in the body. According to the Materia Medica, Chinese Ginseng is one of a handful of herbs that can reawaken this storehouse of Vital Energy. Modern researches discovered that Chinese Ginseng contains more than 40 types of ginsenosides and various amino acids. Ginsenosides are believed to have immune support and adaptogenic effects.

Chinese Ginseng also tonifies the Lungs and Spleen, promotes the secretion of Body Fluids and relieves mental stress. It is effective for treating serious exhaustion, anaemia, heart weakness, impotence and women's menstrual problems resulting from the lack of Qi and Blood.

Chinese Ginseng improves digestion, calms the Mind, sustains alertness and restores strength and energy levels after illness. Its calming effect benefits anyone prone to nervous or emotional disorders. Taken regularly, wild Ginseng will keep the body in good health and is believed to promote longevity.

Use 1 - 3 qían (4g - 12g) of Chinese Ginseng, approximately the weight of one Ginseng root. Double-boil in fresh water to make a drink, or take as prescribed by your physician.
