A member of the Araliaceae family like ivy, Korean Ginseng was already mentioned in one of the oldest Chinese pharmacopoeias (490 BC). In 1843, the botanist Carl Anton Meyer called it Panax Ginseng (pana = everything and axos = cure) to designate it as the plant that cures everything, in other words the panacea! A little later, in 1960, the researcher II Brekhman, who was dealing with stress resistance, coined the term adaptogen to describe the plants ability to improve the bodys overall defense reactions when faced with various stresses (winter infections, nervousness, physical effort, etc.). Other studies have confirmed that, thanks to its active ingredients called ginsenosides, Korean Ginseng can increase physical and mental performance, memory, learning ability, sexual potency and immune response...
