Ginseng: Ginseng is the most respected tonic herb in the world. It has a long-term anti-stress effect and improves physical and mental performance, memory, and reaction time. It enhances mood, relieves hangover symptoms and improves alcohol clearance.
Ginseng improves short-term stamina, blood circulation to the heart, and balances cholesterol and blood sugar. It can even lessen the symptoms of menopause, including vaginal atrophy.
Oriental (Panax ginseng) and American (Panax quinquefolius) are almost identical species that happen to grow on different continents and are therapeutically equivalent.
Eleuthro (Eleutherococcus senticosus), commonly know as Siberian ginseng, is not really a ginseng and has a long-term stimulant effect.
