How is ginseng used?
American and Asian ginseng is traditionally used to treat opposite ailments. At the core of Chinese medicine are the concepts of “Yin” and “Yang.” Yin represents the cooling, passive and storing elements of the body’s operation, while Yang represents the healing, energy and metabolic aspects. The key to health under the concept of Chinese medicine is maintaining a balance between Yin and Yang. Sickness and disease are thought to arise when these two elements are out of balance.
