American Ginseng: Panax Quinquefolium
Panax
is Latin for "cure it all."
|
Ginseng root is classified medicinally as an "adaptogen" (a substance that helps the body to restore itself to normal function) that acts by increasing all-around resistance to stress and strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. |
It
is not the purpose of ginseng to replace the professional services of
your physician. By all means see a medical doctor for any condition
which requires his/her services. Ginseng should be considered an aid
to medical treatment, not a replacement.
