Panax ginseng is the closest thing to a cure-all potion. The root extract is taken to stimulate the mind and body, add energy, and give a sense of well-being. Ginseng root is a remedy that helps treat a number of ailments, including tuberculosis, coughs, nausea, diabetes, indigestion , diarrhea, kidney degeneration, gout, and rheumatism. Ginseng is also believed by some to lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, prevent stress, enhance strength, and stimulate the midbrain, vessels, and heart. Ginseng usually requires 2-3 years to develop into a marketable size. An optimal condition for ginseng is a fairly constant temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, 40-50 inches of annual rainfall, and 70-90 percent of shade. Research suggests ginseng promotes a reduced mortality and morbidity rate when exposed to extreme temperatures. Ginseng has stimulant properties, but has no noted undesirable side effects.
