The ginseng plant is a perennial, which reaches a height of 3 feet. The leaves are oval and toothed, surrounding clusters of small yellow-green flowers. All species of ginseng are either sweet or slightly bitter.

## Brief History

Out of all the Chinese herbs on the market, ginseng is one of the best known and famous of them all. The therapeutic benefits of this herb have been embraced close to 7,000 years. Throughout history, the herb became so valued that wars were actually found to sustain control of the forests where the herb was known to grow.
