Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, American Ginseng is traditionally used to replenish qi and nourish yin, and is often simmered alone or with lean meat, chicken, or congee. It is commonly paired with herbs such as wolfberry or jujube in gentle tonic soups. Because of its cool nature, it is traditionally chosen in warmer months or for those who prefer a milder, less warming tonic than Asian ginseng.
