Ginseng Root
Size: 2oz Bag
(Latin Name: Panax ginseng / Panax quinquefolius)
(Also known as: Ren Shen, The Root of Immortality)
Brief History & Origin
Ginseng is the Root of Vital Life, revered across Asia and the Americas as a sacred tonic of strength, longevity, and resilience. The word Panax comes from the Greek panacea, meaning “all-healing.” For over 5,000 years, Ginseng has been a symbol of divine energy in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Korean healing practices—used to restore Qi, balance yin and yang, and enhance life force. In Native American traditions, American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) was treasured as a cooling, calming adaptogen, while Asian Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is known for its warming, energizing properties. Ginseng root grows in the shape of the human body, reminding us that it nourishes the whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
