American Ginseng
American Ginseng is an herb that is quickly disappearing from the wild, due to over-harvesting over many years. Many of the wildcrafters now, unlike those in the past, take immature roots and don't plant back the seed. Ginseng takes seven years to mature from seed.
At Teeter Creek Herbs we have been planting and harvesting woods-grown Ginseng for over 10 years. This is Ginseng that is grown in its natural woodland habitat. We use the fresh root in making our extract.
The uses of Ginseng has almost become the stuff of legends; yet it is a valuable herb that is worth the extra cost for certain herb users. American ginseng is less stimulating than its Asian cousins, and so is often better tolerated by more people, and can be taken over a longer period of time. It is for this reason that our Ginseng is highly valued in Asia.
Traditionally, American Ginseng is taken to boost energy and overall health for those with chronic fatigue, those recovering from chronic illness, and those under long-term stress with nervous exhaustion. It is used as an aid in restoring exhausted adrenal glands. It is used as a tonic for those with weak digestion and poor appetite. It has been shown to boost and maintains immune system reserves. It is an aid for those with weak lungs and dry cough. Ginseng also increases circulation to the brain to enhance memory and for those with cerebral insufficiency. Some women have benefited form courses of ginseng to ease hot flashes and other menopausal discomforts. Finally, Ginseng has a reputation as a sexual tonic
We feel that Teeter Creek herb's fresh Ginseng extract is one of the finest available.
