This tincture of Ginseng American (Panax quinquefolius) root, is made using dried root.

The common name ginseng derives from the Mandarin name for the plant, ren shen, which translates roughly as "essence of the earth in the form of a man," a reference to the humanlike shape of some ginseng roots. The genus name Panax derives from the Greek panakes, "panacea," and seng, the term for a fleshy root that is used as a tonic.               

Ginseng is a perennial that grows in shady hardwood forests of North America (P. quinquefolius) and temperate regions of Asia (P. ginseng). The stalk reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet. The leaves are palmate and divided into three to seven (usually five) sharply toothed leaflets. The hermaphroditic flowers are white to yellowish and grow in round umbels. Red berries follow the flowers. Ginseng is not a quick cash crop, as the roots must be five to seven years old before they become ready for harvesting.

SUGGESTED USE:
60 drops, 2-3 times per day in juice or water.

OTHER INGREDIENTS:
Certified Organic Gluten Free cane alcohol, USP pharmaceutical grade glycerin, ultrafiltered water.

CONCENTRATION:
1:5, 65-75% Alcohol

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Avoid ginseng in cases of heat and inflammation, such as fever, flu, pneumonia, hypertension, or constipation. Do not give to children for prolonged periods, as it may cause early sexual maturation. Avoid during pregnancy and while nursing. Do not take ginseng in conjunction with cardiac glycosides except under the guidance of a qualified health-care professional. The neck of ginseng root is mildly emetic and should not be used as a tonic.

HOW TO MEASURE OUR TINCTURES: 

Suggested doses are given in drops. However, for easy dosing, you may want to use the guidelines below:

Droppers: If a dropper were immersed in a tincture bottle and the bulb squeezed twice, the number of drops in the pipette for most given tinctures will be approximately 30 drops.

Note: These are only averages. More viscous (thicker) tinctures will produce fewer, and bigger, drops.

Teaspoons: There are approximately 120 drops in 1 teaspoon (approximately 4 droppersful).
