Ginseng Tincture (1 : 4)

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) tincture made from the rhizome

What is Ginseng Tincture (Panax ginseng)?

By now, ginseng is no longer an unknown remedy in Europe, although this revered medicinal root still does not enjoy the recognition it deserves. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), ginseng roots have been used successfully for more than 4,700 years. The “royal herb” was first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung and his physicians, who believed the root to be a universal healer. This is also reflected in its Greek botanical name Panax ginseng, derived from “Panacea,” the goddess of healing.
Because wild ginseng was already rare in ancient times, the roots were considered a divine gift, reserved only for the imperial family. Ordinary people had no access to this “rejuvenating elixir.”

The perennial plant is found not only in China but also in Korea and Siberia. Belonging to the Araliaceae family, ginseng prefers mixed and deciduous forests. It grows 30–60 cm tall and is recognizable by its umbels of whitish-green flowers. For medicinal purposes, however, only the rootstock with its spindle-shaped or cylindrical roots is used.

Since wild populations of ginseng have declined even further, we use only roots from controlled cultivation for our tincture in order to preserve natural resources. These naturally grown ginseng roots are harvested under strict quality standards, carefully dried, and extracted with alcohol, resulting in a pure tincture that meets our high standards of quality.

A traditional tonic in TCM

In Chinese folk medicine, ginseng was considered highly valuable not only because of its rarity but also because of its remarkable properties. To this day, the root symbolizes longevity and vitality. Both TCM practitioners and the population at large are convinced that ginseng supports physical, mental, and emotional flexibility into old age. Beyond its use as a tonic, it has traditionally been applied for mood imbalances, concentration problems, anxiety, as well as chronic coughs and colds.

Modern science now recognizes that ginseng possesses many beneficial qualities. As an adaptogen, it helps balance body, mind, and spirit by regulating the stress response and mitigating its effects both physically and emotionally. Remarkably, ginseng can also provide energy when motivation is lacking, making it a versatile plant for those caught between exhaustion and overexertion. In TCM, it is also believed to positively influence the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians.

Panax ginseng contains valuable compounds such as:
Ginsenosides (mainly Rb0, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Rg1), peptidoglycans, essential oils, fatty acids, phytosterols, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
