Ginseng has been harvested for several centuries, but its use and popularity have grown significantly in the last 50 years. The root is harvested from a perennial plant known for its medicinal qualities. It’s been used for thousands of years and was even prescribed by doctors in Ancient China.

It is also used as an ingredient in a variety of foods and drinks, including candy, soup, and gum. It is also implied to increase physical endurance and sexual prowess in men, though there is no conclusive evidence that this actually works.
