American ginseng

Overview

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a plant species native to the Eastern United States and Canada. It is a perennial herb with a dark, unbranched stem and palmately compound leaves and yellow or greenish-white flowers. American ginseng has been used medicinally for centuries and is a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Its root is valued for its therapeutic properties, including providing relief from stress, improving energy, and relieving immune system-related issues. Due to over-harvesting, American ginseng is a threatened species in many areas and is protected.
