What are the characteristics of Ginseng?

Gin seng means in Chinese "root man" because of the shape of its root which recalls the human silhouette. It was in their quest for immortality that the Chinese selected ginseng, mentioned in the treatise on fundamental herbs (bencao) of Shennong, dated from the first century under the Han dynasty: ginseng is the root of long life, useful to fight against senescence. In traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to the tonic remedies indicated in insufficient energy, respiratory difficulty (dyspnea) and asthenia; its effectiveness is best when used as a single remedy. Widely used in China, it is available in all traditional markets or pharmacies at affordable prices, but some boxed presentations are overpriced. It is to prolong the life of a dying parent, by the time their children come to their bedside, that the Chinese will be able to acquire a luxurious box presenting the long roots and rootlets of a thirty-year-old wild ginseng, at prices ranging from 100 to 10,000 euros.

The root also enjoys an ancestral reputation for being able to awaken sleeping sexual ardors, it is considered to be an aphrodisiac by stimulating the libido.
