Dried Ginseng Rootlets, known in TCM as Ren Shen Xu (人参须), from Panax ginseng. These fine sun-dried rootlets from six-year Changbai Mountain ginseng are a traditional decoction piece used in Chinese herbal practice. In TCM theory, ginseng rootlets are considered sweet and slightly warm, entering the spleen, lung, and heart channels. They are traditionally simmered in water, added to soups, or cooked with congee as a gentle daily tonic. Store in a cool, dry place and keep away from dampness.

It is often simmered alone or paired with ingredients such as goji berries, red dates, or chicken. Traditional preparations favor gentle, long simmering to draw out its character, and it is commonly used in daily or seasonal tonic cooking.
