The most highly-prized ginseng bears a likeness to the human form. Jilin Province ginseng, grown in the ChangBai Mountain region of China, bordering Korea, is considered to be some of the finest cultivated Panax ginseng in the world. "Ginseng" was given the botanical name Panax, from the Greek, meaning "all healing" (panacea, or pan [all] + akos [cure]). It has been used from ancient times both by the Chinese and by Native American herbalists. Ginseng has been used by human beings for over four thousand years. Ginseng seems to keep the mind and body in balance. Modern research has shown ginseng to have over 28 therapeutic elements (ginsenosides). Benefits from the root have been realized in North America and Europe only since the 1960s. At this time, there is research being done about this remarkable herb. There are two types of ginseng which are considered to be the real herb, or root. Panax ginseng, grown in Asia, has a warming effect on the body, and is more potent. It is either white or red—with the red created by steaming, and then curing, the white ginseng. The other, Panax Quinquefolius, is grown in North America. Panax Quinquefolius has a cooling effect on the body.
