American Ginseng
American Ginseng is a close relative of Panax Ginseng but while Red Panax Ginseng is considered Yang, American Ginseng is considered Yin. It calms, soothes and cools the body and is recommended in hotter climates to help the body adapt to the environment better.
American ginseng, although also a tonic like Red Panax Gisneng, may even be helpful in treating ADD and ADHD in adults.
American ginseng has been shown to also reduce flu cases and thus is also known to increase immune function, just like all other ginseng varieties. However, the fact that it has a calming effect differentiates it from the other varieties and makes it more suitable for hypertensive conditions.
