Research Notes on American Ginseng
American Ginseng has been traditionally used by the American Indians as a demulcent, general tonic, and food for the brain. They also utilize it in restoring good health to the weak and wounded. Now used as a natural preventative and restorative remedy, it is valued for its "adaptogenic" (tending to bring the body to normal) properties. Research suggests American Ginseng may increase mental efficiency and physical performance, and aid in adapting to high or low temperatures, and stress.
