Ginseng (/ËdÊÉªnsÉÅ/) is any one of the 11 species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae. Ginseng is found in North America and in eastern Asia (mostly northeast China, Korea, Bhutan, eastern Siberia), typically in cooler climates. Panax vietnamensis, discovered in Vietnam, is the southernmost ginseng known.
Today, ginseng is hard to find in the wild, and wild-harvested ginseng is strictly regulated by the states where it is found, and the U.S. government, to prevent over-harvesting. As a result, almost all the American ginseng sold today is cultivated by growers. Demand and prices are rising steadily, and have doubled in the last few years.
