American Ginseng is native to Canada, eastern US, Wisconsin, and China. American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is closely related to Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng) - American Ginseng is more appropriate for hot weather conditions as its energy is more cooling (although both are sweet and slightly bitter);
While Asian Ginsengs can be used during the colder seasons, as they have a more warming nature. Or, in other words, American Ginseng is more sedative & relaxing, and increases "yin" energy, in contrast to Korean Ginseng (Panax) which is more stimulating & invigorating, and increases the "yang" energy. The part of the plants used is the root. American Ginseng's known active constituents include glycosides (ginsenosides), saponins, and phytosterol.
