Red Ginseng Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Red Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is Asian ginseng, a slow-growing perennial of the ivy family, Araliaceae, native to the mountain forests of northeastern China, Korea and the Russian Far East and cultivated mainly in Korea and China. A single stem 30 to 60 cm tall carries a whorl of palmate leaves with five toothed leaflets, a small umbel of greenish flowers and a cluster of bright red berries. The fleshy, forked, man-shaped root is the harvested part; "red" ginseng is root that has been steamed before drying, which turns it amber-red and translucent. We extract the dried root.
