Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Jason, I recently read a piece in, I believe it was one of Unschuld's works, where the author of the article was saying that American ginseng was basically worthless. I will try to find the reference. I think the original love for American Ginseng by the Chinese was a blind love for a plant they recognized, that is all. BTW, not all American herbalists thought the plant was worthless, mostly only the Eclectics who liked plants they could see an immediate physiological affect from, such as aconite, etc. Professor of Honolulu, HI 808-349-8219 www.herbsandmore.photostockplus.com Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.
