Siberian Ginseng is an adaptogen, traditionally used to support the whole body during periods of emotional stress. Its name comes from the Chinese ‘jen shen’, which means ‘man root’, so-named because some roots have limb-like branches resembling arms and legs. Because the root has a human-like shape, it is considered by some to be an overall body supplement.

The root is not harvested until it is two or more years old, the older the root, the higher its value. It is held in high esteem in China, where it has been valued for thousands of years, sometimes commanding a higher price than gold. This herb supports energy and helps to balance the body.
