American Ginseng

American ginseng, known by its botanical name as Panax quinquefolius, is an adaptogen grown in the eastern half of North America. It is found in Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as several other states. American ginseng, like the more familiar Asian ginseng, is used by many for medicinal purposes.

Better Health with American Ginseng
Native Americans considered ginseng one of their most precious herbs and used it in many of their remedies. Although American ginseng is fairly new in terms of its use in modern culture, it has been used for years by numerous Native American tribes. According to research, Native Americans used American ginseng for countless symptoms and conditions, ranging from dysentery to lack of appetite.

Several different species of ginseng grow around the world. Although certain species of ginseng are known for specific health benefits, they are all considered to have similar properties. The primary active ingredients in ginseng are over 25 saponin triterpenoid glycosides, commonly referred to as "ginsenosides." Ginsenosides are steroid–like ingredients that stimulate the immune system and combat fatigue and stress by acting on the adrenal glands and increasing the use of oxygen by the muscles. Ginseng also contains vitamins A, B-6, and the mineral zinc.

American ginseng is commonly used to alleviate fatigue, reduce stress, enhance memory and performance, prevent illness, and stimulate the brain, heart, and nervous system. The cooling, anti-inflammatory properties prevalent in American ginseng may even make it useful in the reduction of fever and relief of some respiratory problems. American ginseng has more of these beneficial "cooling" properties than Asian ginseng.
