How long have the medicinal properties of ginseng been studied?
Asian Ginseng has been intensively studied as a medicinal compound for the past 40 years. It has only been in the past 20 years that Western researchers have turned their eye to the medicinal properties of North American Ginseng in an attempt to find the active ingredients that make the root so popular in Asia. For this reason, the vast majority of studies available in support of the health benefits of ginseng involve Asian Ginseng.
