American Ginseng Root Slice (Panax Quinquefolius)

American Ginseng Root Slice (Panax quinquefolius) is a cooling, adaptogenic herb prized for its ability to nourish yin, support energy levels, and promote calm endurance. These thinly sliced roots are carefully selected and dried to preserve their natural sweetness, fibrous texture, and rich concentration of ginsenosides, the active compounds responsible for ginseng’s restorative effects.

Unlike Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), which is warming and more stimulating, American ginseng is cooling and gently tonifying, making it especially suitable for individuals with yin deficiency, heat signs, or fatigue accompanied by dryness and irritability. It is commonly used to support mental clarity, enhance physical stamina, and improve resilience to stress, without the jittery side effects often associated with stronger stimulants.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, American ginseng is used to tonify qi while generating fluids, making it a go-to herb for conditions such as dry cough, low-grade fever, thirst, or chronic fatigue, especially during recovery from illness or heat-induced depletion.

When decocted, American Ginseng Root Slices produce a light golden infusion with a mild, slightly bitter-sweet flavor. They can be simmered alone or paired with herbs like mai men dong, licorice, or schisandra in balancing, restorative blends.

Each batch of American Ginseng Root Slice (Panax quinquefolius) is carefully harvested, sliced, and dried to maintain maximum potency and herbal integrity. Whether used in daily tonics, cooling qi formulas, or recovery support teas, this ginseng offers a gentle yet effective way to nourish the body, restore balance, and promote long-term vitality.
