Panax quinquefolius ENDANGERED
While other ginsengs tend to be heating and drying, American ginseng acts as a cooling and moisturizing tonic. In heat-driven conditions, Panax can allay thirst and moistens and revitalizes the body. American ginseng is one of the few Western herbs that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine use to replenish qi, the body’s vital force. TCM also views American ginseng as an excellent tonic for rebuilding yin, the cool, fluid, receptive aspect of our constitution. Unlike the heating, highly stimulating Chinese ginseng, Panax is classed as an adaptogen, a group of herbs that can prompt body systems to find their own balance. It can be a useful nervous system tonic for those struggling with depletion and poor cognition function due to stress, anxiety, and overwork . It acts as a restorative tonic to the immune and reproductive systems, and supports digestion weakened by nervous tension or dryness. It is also great for dry mouth! American ginseng has been overharvested in the wild, making it pricier than other ginsengs.

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
