Ginseng is a fine example of an adaptogenic plant whose components possess certain antagonistic effects. Ginseng's known active ingredients are ginsenosides or panaxosides, which have both depressant and stimulant effects on the central nervous system (CNS). American ginseng mainly contains ginsenoside Rb1, which has a hypotensive, antihemolytic, antipyretic, antipsychotic, CNS depressant and antiulcer action. It also contains ginsenoside Rg1, a CNS stimulant, hypertensive and tonic. American ginseng contains most of the group I and II ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rg1, malonyl(m)-Rb1, mRb2, mRc and Rd) and the group III ginsenoside Ro . American ginseng also contains B vitamins (biotin, B12, thiamine, riboflavin), manganese, amino acids, fatty acids, saponins (some are CNS stimulants, others increase the growth potential of damaged nerves), phytosterols (phytosterin), flavonoids and starch.

A favorite Chinese medicinal plant, ginseng has been used in Asia for over 2,000 years. Written references to ginseng can be found in the earliest works on medicinal plants. Ginseng is native to Russia and Eastern Asia, Manchuria and the Caucasus, and is cultivated in Korea, China and Japan.
It was the Jesuits (present in both Asia and America) who made the link between Asian ginseng and the American species. The Chinese pounced on this wild ginseng at a time when wild ginseng was no longer available in Asia, and recognized that our ginseng had properties very similar to their own. There is little difference between the two botanical species in their composition and medicinal effects.
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is still found in the rich undergrowth of America, in eastern Canada and the USA, as far south as Georgia. Native Americans used it to stimulate female fertility, to combat fevers and coughs, and as a general body tonic. By the end of the 19th century, American ginseng had almost disappeared from Quebec and Ontario.
Ginseng has traditionally been used for all kinds of ailments, its scientific name deriving from the Greek words Pan "all" and Akos "heals", hence panacea, "that heals all". As for "ginseng", it comes from the Chinese jen-shen, meaning "man-plant", in allusion to the shape of its root. Today, ginseng is an official plant in several pharmacopoeias (Austria, China, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Russia).
