2. What is American Ginseng?

American ginseng was formerly particularly widespread in the Appalachian and Ozark regions (and adjacent forested regions such as Pennsylvania, New York State and Ontario), but due to its popularity, the wild plant has been overharvested, and is thus rare in most parts of the United States and Canada. Ginseng is also negatively affected by deer browsing, urbanization, and habitat fragmentation. It is also grown commercially, under artificial shade, in fields in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and usually harvested after three to four years. Many ginseng growers in Wisconsin are represented by the "Ginseng Board of Wisconsin", whose seal is often sought after on ginseng products to certify they are genuine. Wisconsin, particularly Marathon County, accounts for approximately 95% of production in the United States. Ginseng is also widely grown in Ontario, Canada.

3. What is difference between American Ginseng and Chinese Ginseng?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, American ginseng promotes yin energy, cleans excess yang and calms the body. The reason it has been claimed that American ginseng promotes yin (shadow, cold, negative, female) while Asian ginseng promotes yang (sunshine, hot, positive, male) is because, according to traditional Chinese medicine, things living in cold places or northern side of mountains or southern side of rivers are strong in yang and vice versa, so that the two are balanced.[citation needed] Chinese/Korean ginseng grows in Manchuria and Korea, the coldest area known to many Koreans in ancient times. Thus, ginseng from there is supposed to be very yang.

4.  What is American Ginseng's function?

American ginseng is classified as an adaptogen. An adaptogen acts to normalize the bodily functions by allowing the body to utilize other substances more efficiently and by helping to eliminate those substances that are toxic. Ginseng is a whole body tonic to tonify all organs. It also adjusts and enhances their functions by bringing them back into "synch". As a result, ginseng helps to alleviate stress which is a common cause of illness.

One study in laboratory animals showed possible effects of ginseng or its ginsenoside components on the central nervous system and gonadal tissues and another on penile erection.

Ginseng is known to contain phytoestrogens and may affect the pituitary gland to increase the secretion of gonadotropins. Other mice studies found effects on sperm production and the estrus cycle.
