Description
Canadian 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 Huā Qí Shēn (花旗参). Grown in Canada and sliced from mature roots, American Ginseng has been prized for centuries as a gentle, yin-nourishing, and qi-supporting herb, traditionally used to replenish vitality, clear deficiency heat, and support the body through fatigue and dryness. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and cool, making it a mild yet profoundly restorative herb for nourishing the Lung and Stomach, generating fluids, and harmonizing the spirit.
