Ginseng … a potent root

Ginseng is native to the alpine forests of Central East Asia. The ginseng plant, which belongs to the family Araliaceae, is primarily cultivated in Korea and Northeast China. Extracts of the root are traditionally administered for symptoms of asthenia such as fatigue and weakness. Its positive effects on the mood, well-being and mental capabilities, to name a few examples, have been verified in numerous studies.
