Ginseng Cautions:

“Consumers should be aware of the different kinds of ginseng, and which type is best suited for them. Red Korean ginseng is considered stronger and more stimulating than white, wild ginseng is stronger than cultivated, and Korean ginseng is generally believed to be slightly stronger than Chinese. Furthermore, American and Siberian ginseng have slightly different properties than Korean ginseng, and consumers should make an informed choice as to which herb is best suited for them. Chinese herbalists do not recommend Korean ginseng for those people who have “heat” disorders in their bodies, such as ulcers, high blood pressure, tension headaches, and symptoms associated with high-stress levels. Korean ginseng is generally not recommended for those with symptoms of nervousness, mental imbalance, inflammation, or fever. Korean ginseng is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, and women of childbearing age should use ginseng sparingly, as some studies imply that it can influence estrogen levels.” From Medical Dictionary

  1. Your botanical name for White Ginseng is incorrect. It should be “Panax Ginseng”, same as the name for red ginseng.

    Eleutherococcus Senticosus is the botanical name for Siberian Ginseng, which is not related to the Panax.

    White and red are the same plant but are processed differently.

    1. Thank you for letting me know about the error. I did not see it until today as I have been way too busy. It has been corrected as you can now see. Thank you again very much.

  2. Maybe you should change the mistake in your article regarding the Latin term for White Ginseng.

  3. you can do real harm with the mistake in your article mentioned above yet you still have not corrected it
