What is Ginseng?
This famous Chinese herb has been used for over 5,000 years. It was worth more than gold to the Qing Dynasty of ancient China.
Benefits of Ginseng
Ginseng is used in thousands of formulas to provide vivacity and energy. Ginseng is used more than any other herbal remedy.
Ginseng contains nitrogenous compounds, minerals, vitamins, fat-soluble compounds, and carbohydrate compounds in its stained root. The herb is costly and not easy to produce and takes six years to reach maturity. Researchers today label ginseng as a strong immune system tonic that can uniquely affect the entire body.
Dosage and preparation of ginseng
The best way to take Ginseng is by using a good quality root. To use the dried root, first cut it into dime sized slices. Note: Ginseng will slice easily after it has been warmed in the oven for about a minute or two. (You can buy it already sliced.) The slices can now be chewed or brewed. Sucking and swallowing slices of Ginseng provides a quick method of dosage and oral satisfaction. To brew tea with Ginseng, use 3-9 grams per person. Double boiling is preferred. Slow boil herb slices for about one hour, and drink the tea on an empty stomach.
