Panax ginsing is one species of the ginsing plant. Panax ginsing is refered to as Asian ginsing. This species is grown in Korea, China and Russia. In Chinese medicine, the idea of an adaptogen, which is what ginsing is purported to be, is not possible. Chinese medicine believes that there are individual differences that make using an all purpose herb impossible.
Even if panax ginsing is only nominally adaptogenic, however, it is still a useful herb. Increasing overall energy and mental function seem to be the noncontroversial benefits of ginsing. There is also scientific evidence that ginsing can regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
