Botanical classification

Family Araliaceae · Genus Panax · Species Panax ginseng · Plant part: root · Preparation: naturally dried mature root.

Origin & traditional use

A history extending more than 2,000 years across Korea and China, traditionally prepared as teas, decoctions, powders and formulations. The root is air-dried after harvest, preserving a naturally distinct phytochemical profile.

Modern scientific perspective

Widely studied for ginsenosides and other phytochemicals through laboratory, animal and human research. Why we selected it: the traditional drying preparation yields a naturally distinct composition that complements Red Ginseng and the other botanicals, reflecting our belief in synergy over reliance on a single ingredient. Quality philosophy: mature, air-dried roots with verified identity and purity. Akasha perspective: the same species, a different hand — proof that preparation is part of the botanical.

Evidence snapshot

Traditional use: more than 2,000 years in TCM and Korean traditions. Preclinical research: substantial work on phytochemistry. Human research: studies with varying findings. Scientific consensus: Panax ginseng remains one of the most extensively researched botanical species.
