When most see the word Ginseng they immediately think about it's delicious tea, which of course isn't bad at all. Aside from making a nice sweet tea (Depending on how you make yours) Ginseng is also a good Herbal remedy.

This Herb isn't hard to find at all, infact you can probably find it anywhere, just look hard enough haha. It's most common uses normally revolve around the Nervous system,and the digestive system. What I mean is when we make our delicious Ginseng tea little do we know that it's actually helping calm our nerves as most tea's we drink. A lot of people carry mental stress, therefore constantly having headaches, feeling nauseated, etc, etc..

So Ginseng actually started out in China, eh maybe a couple thousand years ago according to what we know. There are actually two types of Ginseng, one of course is regular Ginseng which is grown in China, and the other is called Panax quinquefolius, it's also known as (The American Ginseng.)) Interesting name, for it, though it does date back a few hundred years ago. The American Ginseng, is seen as a Sub-species of a sort, and people say that the Asian species is more medically inclined.

Panax quinquefolius is good for helping people with Mental Stress. While Regular Ginseng is also good for mental Stress can also be used to fight off a Stomach Virus or a digestive illness.

If you're anything like me you hate taking medicine, therefore Irecommendyou do it in a form a tea. Like I said in my opening statement, Ginseng is also known as a very good tea. Therefore it's more likely it will help fight off Stomach viruses, I also reccomend if you do take it while having Stomach problems, to try and remain in one place and throw it up too quickly before the medicine kicks in.

As always thanks for reading, add anything you want below and of courseLookforward to reading your responses and learn something else I didn't already know.
