Hsu's Ginseng Cultivated Slices Medium Small (4 oz = 113 gm/Bag)

The roots of American Ginseng come in a wide range of lengths and sizes. The shape and length of the American Ginseng root are determined by the type of soil in which it is grown. Sandy topsoil allows the roots to grow deeper, resulting in longer roots, while clay and heavier soils limit the depth of root growth, leading to shorter and wider roots. Despite these variations, all the roots grown in Wisconsin for at least three to four years have similar nutritional value. However, larger roots and those grown for four years or longer tend to have higher potency, as measured by their ginsenoside content.

Many consumers prefer the larger roots as they appear more impressive as gifts, while others favor the uniformity of the pearl-shaped roots. Historically, ginseng has been used in the Orient for over two thousand years as a whole-body tonic to support the five visceral organs, calm the nerves, tranquilize the mind, clear the eyes, and improve memory. Ginseng is traditionally used for energy, stress relief, immune system enhancement, bodily system adjustment, and increased endurance.

American ginseng is a yin (cold) tonic, suitable for those with a yang (hot) nature. It is a general tonic for all sexes, ages, and seasons, and can be used for long-term purposes. American ginseng is classified as an "adaptogen," which acts to normalize body functions by allowing it to utilize other substances more efficiently and by helping to eliminate toxic substances.
