Ginseng for health? Anyone know what are the best ways to use it?

[Mark]

I have heard about ginseng, but not sure if it works for real for tonifying the body generally. Does anyone know more information about this? and how can it be used generally for health purposes?

Its a great herb, but you need to usually mix it with other herbs to get the best result. taking on its own, i understand, does not have the same legendary effects as you heard of, unless combined with other herbs.

Most of the chinese herbs listed are best taken with a combination of other herbs for really getting the benefits, even then, the person making the combination should know what really works best.

for ginseng, it’s better you cook with it, rather than take supplements of it, its too much heat if you just take supplements like that. Its better to make something like the korean chicken ginseng soup, for example, for helping the body and enjoying at the same time!

She says ginseng is optional, but this is not true. rest of the video is pretty good in explaining it.
