Can you answer Roto’s question about Ginseng?:

I’m 21 and I’m a cook. I graduated from a culinary school. Right now, i work in a restauarant to gain some exp. I would like to continue to keep educated myself becuz learning nevers end. But I wanna ask what other educations can i get to help in my cooking field other than pastry and sugar decoration course. I really enjoy creating new dishes with different kind of flavors and textures by using my own theory. I believe cooking will bring happiness to ppl. I was thinking taking chinese herb medicine. (What other suggestion do u have?) I never intend to open a restuarant and become a executive chef. I look at cooking as more in scientific and formulas.

BTW, i’m also a language lover. I speak English, Chinese, French, Spanish, and a bit of Russian. I think the language can give me that extra boost in my cooking area.

No short answer plz.
thoughtful answer is welcome. Thank you for the advices ^^’

I have been under the care of a traditional chinese medicine doctor and its quite expensive..$10.00 per day for the herbs, which I cook in a pot and then drink. He tells me his herbs are better and more powerful than those purchased from any health food/drug store. Is this true?

Can you answer Mr. Shankly’s question about Ginseng?:

I found an old bottle of American panax ginseng capsules in my parents’ medicine cabinet. They said I could take them, so I did. They estimate the bottle is as much as 3 years old.

Because ginseng is organic I’m wondering if it can go bad. Are they safe to use?
OK, they expire…what is the shelf life?
By “organic” I mean carbon-based, found in nature. As opposed to synthetic drugs. I’m not talking about how it was farmed.
