RED PANAX GINSENG

Red ginseng and white ginseng come from the same plant, Panax ginseng, whose roots were preserved in different ways. However, only ginseng roots that had matured for at least six years could be transformed into red ginseng.

Red ginseng in Chinese medicine is believed to enhance "yang" energy (which stimulates and warms), to a greater extent than white ginseng.

Asian red ginseng has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an overall wellness supplement for centuries. The root is said to resemble the human body. Instead of arms and legs, it has shoots. This resemblance is believed to be why traditional herbalists considered ginseng a full-body remedy. Today, research is showing how effective ginseng is as a natural remedy.
