Panax Ginseng is native to Eastern Asia and is said to have stimulating and life prolonging effects on many parts of the body. Harvesting should be postponed until the plant is 5 or more years old and is said to be more effective in people over 40. Older plants for older folks could be the harvesting mantra.

Description :

Panax Ginseng is a slow-growing perennial, native to mountainous regions of Eastern Asia including Russia, Korea, and China. It grows in partial or full shade and prefers moist soil. It grows to about 2.5 feet tall and 2.5 feet around. Panax Ginseng plants produce a cluster of bright red berries near the tops of the plants. Panax Ginseng root can be used either fresh or dried. Used fresh, it is often chewed for a while before swallowing, Dried it is often used in teas and tinctures. There is often a stimulating effect on the body and so has been used by men in asia suffering from erectile dysfunction. It is also thought to help with cognition and concentration.

History and Folklore:

Panax Ginseng was discovered in the mountains of China about 5000 years ago. The effects from taking the herb made it very popular. Trade with countries like Korea was originally established partly on the basis of obtaining more. Koreans started growing the herb commercially when the demand in China was so great that Chinese growers could not supply enough. Chinese medicine says that a plant that resembles a human body part will be helpful to that body part. The fact that the Panax Ginseng root looks like an entire human body leads to the belief that it is good for the whole body.

Cultivation and Harvest:

Any species of Ginseng, including Panax Ginseng, should be left to grow naturally for 4 to 5 years before harvesting the root. The root should be harvested in the late summer of the 5th year. The root can be shredded and dried for use in teas and tinctures.

How to Take Herbs - Product Forms and Suggested Servings

Product Forms

Most HomeGrown Herbalist products are sold in three forms: powders, tinctures and capsules. People often ask which form is best. The truth is, it matters very little how we get herbs into our body but there are some advantages to each form.

Powders: Powders are the least expensive form. Powders can be made into teas or tinctures or you can just put the powder into a little juice or water and drink it.

Tinctures: Tinctures are alcohol extracts of herbs. They act a little more quickly in the body and are very portable. Tinctures can be taken alone or mixed with a little juice or water.

Capsules: Capsules are my least favorite form personally. I believe that many herbs are more effective if capsules aren't used. Click here to read a blog article on Capsules

Any of the above forms can be mixed with your morning smoothie or with yogurt, apple sauce etc... Tinctures mix really well with these products: Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil. This is a great way to get tinctures into those who are sensitive to yucky herb flavors.

The HomeGrown Approach - What Makes us Different?

Many of our Herbal Products are created with herbs that are grown right here! Of course there are many plants that are outside the scope of our ability to grow in Idaho, due to either climate or quantity requirements. So when we need to supplement our growing efforts, we purchase only the finest product from quality, growers that we trust! All of our Single Herb Tinctures are made right here at our own facility with a single plant.

Our plants are grown, weeded, harvested and processed by caring herbalists filled with healing intent, not by machines. HomeGrown plant harvesting is timed for maximum potency...not the day the combine is scheduled. - Only the most medicinal portions of the HomeGrown plants are utilized for medicine making. - No pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers of any kind are used in our herb gardens. HomeGrown wildcrafted herbs are ethically collected and identified by experienced herbalists, not minimum-wage, apathetic employees.

Yeah, we might be crazy to go to all the trouble when we could import material from Bulgaria for a tenth of the price, but we have experienced the difference in the quality of the end product. We are confident that when you use our HomeGrown herbals, you WILL see what all the fuss was about!
