  More about Ginseng :
Called the "King of Herbs", ginseng is the best-known herb of all time to longevity enthusiasts. 

The Taoists say that ginseng has the strongest ability of any herb to
condense the earthly ch'i and the five elemental energies into its root.  Thus it can impart the "three vitalities" (ch'i, jing and shin) to anyone who partakes of it.
Ginseng is revered for its ability to impart clarity of mind and awareness to its users.
In the first recorded Chinese treatise on herbs,Shen Nung said: "Ginseng is a tonic to the five viscera, quieting the animal spirits, stabilizing the soul, preventing fear, expelling the vicious energies, brightening the eye and
improving vision, opening up the heart benefiting the understanding, and if taken for some time, will invigorate the body & prolong life..."
Ginseng root is said to aid in replenishing ch'i to the body's
meridians & organs. It develops the center (earth element) and supplies an adaptability to stressful situations.
The ability to aid in stress and action as adaptogen has brought ginseng into the spotlight of modern herb consumers and has spurred much research. 
In addition to the alterative effect on the entire body, ginseng has a very beneficial effect on the heart and circulation, regulating not only blood pressure but blood cholesterol as well. It stimulates the secretion of pepsin and relieves indigestion and eructations.
Ginseng is used generally for its tonic & adaptogenic benefits and its ability to increase strength & energy as well as its reported use as a longevity herb.
Taoists have used it for many hundreds of years for quieting the spirit in a manner much like the famous Reishi Mushroom In Russia. 

Ginseng is especially recommended to people over the age of forty for a six-week program of use annually.
