 Parts used: Dried root,Ginseng is cleared of the rootlets and sliced for medicinal use. Its leaves, flowers, fibrous rootlets and seeds can all be used as herbs.
 The word ginseng is said to mean 'the wonder of the world.'

 Collection: Commercially grown roots take at least seven years to reach a weight of 60-100g at which point they can be harvested. The wild plant achieves that weight only after 150-200 years.

 Ginseng products are made from the ginseng root, and the long, thin offshoots, called root hairs. Both Asian and American ginseng contain ginsenosides, saponins that are ginseng's active ingredients. In addition to ginsenosides, Asian ginseng also contains glycans (panaxans), polysaccharide fraction DPG-3-2, peptides, maltol, B vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oil.
