Even if you are not ill, ginseng can help increase your vitality, improve your energy level and promote general good health. The major difference between panax red ginseng and American ginseng is its potency. American ginseng has a milder qi boosting effect and so is suitable for people of all ages and conditions. American ginseng is mainly used for clearing the body's inner heat and tonifying the qi. Our bodies accumulate inner heat when we consume too much fried or spicy foods, don't get enough sleep, or during the hot summer months. American ginseng is good for gently boosting your energy level and for helping to overcome the irritability that comes from lack of sleep, or to help the acne resulting from too much fried foods.
