What the brand says

Ginseng has been defined as an "adaptogen" which is a substance that can biologically increase the body's ability to deal with stress, or enhance its defense mechanism (immune system) against disease. Ginseng has occupied the central position of Chinese herbal medicine for thousands of years. It is known as the "King of Herbs" and is included in almost every herbal preparation utilized in Oriental medicine. Its Latin name, Panax, comes from the Greek word Panakos, meaning "cure-all." It is also said that Ginseng is a "normalizer." It is good for both high and low blood pressure. It energizes those suffering from fatigue, and has a calming effect for nervous people. It has even been said that ginseng may even slow the aging process. When ingesting as a tea, one or two cups a day are sufficient. You can also soften the root or root slices in a cup of hot water, and then eat the softened slices with the resulting tea.
