GINSENG Pamela Dixon
in the East the legendary plant ginseng has for thousands of years been regarded as a panacea, valued as an aid to long life, an aphrodisiac and a cure for many diseases. The name means 'man-plant', the root often bearing a strange resemblance to the human form. Once used exclusively by the nobility of China, ginseng is now attracting attention in the West as a natural tonic and anti-stress agent. How much of the story is folk-lore and how much is fact? This is the first book to trace the history of the plant from the early Chinese herbal remedies to the present day, and to assess its uses and efficacy.
