As its name suggests, American Ginseng is native to North America. It is said that Native Americans already used its root for its incredible benefits on the body. Now widely cultivated in China, Xi yang shen is recommended by traditional medicine to tonify Qi and nourish Yin.

The use of American Ginseng is regularly recommended to athletes since it has the reputation of fortifying the body and boosting energy. Moreover, it is traditionally used to preserve respiratory comfort: indeed, it contributes to tonify the Yin of the Lung and to clarify the Fire.
