Can you answer Cheapsocks’s question about Ginseng?:

I posted this question in alternative medicine and someone blasted me for “contributing to killing a species”. So I moved it here. Let me start by saying this plant is abundant where I live. I dig only in the legal season, plant the berries, and leave the two and one prongers in the ground. Here’s my question… This question is for people who dig, dry, and sell ginseng roots. A buddy of mine has roots he was drying that have mold on them. (I already know how that happened). The question now is how to get rid of the mold. I told him apple cider vinegar kills mold but he will have to re-dry them. I don’t know if they will smell like vinegar or if the root man will buy them if he smells the vinegar. What do YOU do if you have a batch of roots that begin to mold? At $350 a pound throwing them away isn’t an option. Thanks.

Is ginseng root really good for improving sexual verility in men?

Can you answer Mike’s question about Ginseng?:

I was recently visiting Korea, and the men there believe ginseng root is good for sexual potency in men. I also noticed that the ginseng products (tea, candies, drinks) are all extremely expensive. Seems to me that it’s just a superstition, which the notoriously money-hungry Koreans use as an excuse to sell useless stuff. Anyone have the facts on ginseng’s real qualities (if any)?

Herbal Medicine: Ginseng Uses and History

December 24, 2009 by Ginseng Reviews and Tips  
Filed under About Ginseng

Prized more than gold for thousands of years, Ginseng root has been Asia’s most revered “tonic” and most effective herbal medicine. It is viewed as an aphrodisiac that strengthens the body, enhances health and aids in longevity. Early Jesuit missionaries in Canada discovered American Ginseng in 1704 and made a fortune shipping it to China. For years it was America’s most valuable export until over collection just about wiped it out. Today it is grown in Wisconsin and most of the crop is shipped to Asia.

Until recently most scientists scoffed at the ginseng claims. But research is mounting that shows it helps the body resist illness and damage from stress. Studies show that it stimulates the immune system, helps reduce cholesterol buildup, protect the liver from toxic substances and increases stamina and nutrient absorption from the intestines. Asian athletes use it to boost their performances.

The Chinese for years said it enlightened the mind, increasing wisdom. Continuous use leads to longevity. Recent studies have said that ginseng prevents heart disease, blood coagulation, and protects cells from radiation damage. They are continually studying ginseng to find more positive results for its use.

Chinese herbalists may use ginseng combined with other herbs to treat manifestations of lymphoma, including anemia, fatigue, and enlarged spleen. It helps with nausea related to cancer treatment also. Ginseng is also used to help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Ginseng contains estrogen like substances may prevent bloating.  As you can see there are many uses for ginseng on its own or combined with other herbs to help us lead healthier life.

Here is a sample recipe tea that is made from Ginseng:
