American Ginseng Slices (Panax quinquefolius) — 100g Jar of Soft, Sulfur-Free Large Cuts

American Ginseng Slices (Panax quinquefolius) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Xī Yáng Shēn (西洋参), also called Hua Qi Shen (花旗参). For centuries, American Ginseng has been prized as a gentle, qi-nourishing, yin-supporting herb, used to replenish vitality, clear deficiency heat, and support the body through fatigue, dryness, and stress. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and cool, making it a mild yet profoundly restorative herb for nourishing the Lungs, generating fluids, and harmonizing the spirit.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its pale ivory to light tan color, smooth texture, and mild earthy aroma. The slices are soft and pliable rather than brittle, a sign of gentle drying without sulfur. When chewed, they release a subtly sweet, slightly bitter taste with a lingering cool finish; when decocted or steeped, they yield a gentle, lightly sweet infusion with a clean, refreshing aftertaste.
