Uses For North American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium)

POWDER

Suggested recipe for ginseng tea:

·         Boil 20 ounces of water, preferably in a non-metallic container such as an enamel porcelain pot.

·         Then add 1-3 grams of dry whole root, sliced root powder from the capsules.

·         Reduce the flame and simmer covered for about 20-30 minutes.

·         Allow the resultant tea to cool to desired temperature.

·         Honey can be added for a little extra flavor of sweetness, if desired to make enough for several days, increase the amounts proportionately. The tea can be safely stored in a refrigerator for up to several weeks and reheated if desired, on the stove or in a microwave.

Ginseng can also be used in cooking recipes. Some people use whole roots or sliced roots in their recipes for added flavor.

GINSENG CAPSULES

We recommend from 1 to 2 grams (2-4 capsules) of pure high quality ginseng powder per day. If purchasing dried ginseng root, have roughly 2-8 pieces each day, spread out over the course of the day. A slice of ginseng root should be about the size of a nickel, or a piece around the size of a small nut is best.
