Ginseng is said to be highly good for the
metabolism, and promotes general well being. It has a reputation as an
aphrodisiac, but this seems to be totally based on the fact that it relaxes the
overly tense person a bit. If you suffer from back pain or T.M.J. adding this to
a tea of Catnip and slippery elm may help. It is also presumably useable as an
ingredient in a meade or magewine.
Order and sow in the Fall or Winter.
CAUTION:
Don't take Ginseng and Ginseng mixtures with Coffee as it will accelerate the
caffeine effects on the body and can cause diarrhea.
