Asian ginseng, known as Panax ginseng, has been used medicinally in Asia for 5,000 years. But American ginseng, Panax quinquefolium, is also considered a potent ginseng root, according to Cornermark. Both varieties contain ginsenocides, the healthful components. Ginseng root is dried and sliced or grated to use for tea. It is often blended with other ingredients in teas for flavor and for combined health properties. The Food and Drug Administration has rated ginseng, Generally Recognized as Safe.
Wisconsin Ginseng Tea
Wisconsin ginseng, Panax quinquefolium grown in Wisconsin, contains more ginsenocides than any other species of ginseng, according to Cornermark. Hsu's Farms grow Wisconsin ginseng, and process it into various pure ginseng products, including Wisconsin Ginseng Tea. It is pure ginseng tea with nothing else added. Because the roots are so potent, the herbal value of the tea is high. Hsu's ginseng is cultivated and not gathered wild.
