Who wants to live forever?

Panax ginseng is one of the many varieties of ginseng growing worldwide. Although it is a trailing ground cover plant producing small red fruits, it is cultivated for its valuable roots, which are used fresh or dried and ground in food, cosmetics, and medicines.

The root is surrounded by mystery and superstition. One of the best-known myths is that a Chinese herbalist by the name of Li Ching Yun, who is claimed to have lived to the respectable age of 256, would have named ginseng as one of the herbs he took for its longevity. The word Panax means "the cure for everything" in ancient Greek, after all!

Whatever one chooses to believe, ginseng definitely leaves no one indifferent.
