Types of Ginseng and their uses
Since there's been some discussion of Ginseng and different types, can someone tell me all the names of the Ginsengs, and whether they are warming or cooling, or?
Hate to just buy whatever's on sale at my herb store, and the FDA won't allow them to give advice anymore - the creeps!
BTW for all who responded to my Hepatitis help page, thanks. I'm feeling much better now, thanks to licorice and colloidal silver. I just started training in forms again, and it's almost like I never left!
Take THAT, western "medicine"! :D
Different types of Ginseng
Recently I've been cutting weight for a tournament, which for me has meant giving up coffee (I know coffee has no calories, but I love cream and sugar in it) So I've been drinking a whole lot of tea. My friend's chinese medicine store sells American ginseng in teabags (for $.25).
What are the health benefits of American Ginseng vs Korean vs Siberian?
I'm looking more for researched scientific findings over "one raises yang qi and the other yin" type answers.
Thanks
