Wisconsin American Ginseng

American ginseng is not a stimulating herb. As a cooling herb it will take a period of time to build up the body before you will "feel" a difference. As noted above Korean and Chinese ginseng are stimulating types of ginseng and only should be taken over short periods of time or the body will become "addicted" to them. As a cooling herb, American ginseng is meant to be taken every day over extended periods of time to maintain the body at a higher level of performance.
