Thunder_Gooch Posted April 23, 2013 A buddy of mine sent me sent me some really high quality korean ginseng roots, and it had me crawling the walls with energy the other day. I can order from him but the price is out of site, more than I am willing to pay. Â Is there a reputable supplier of panax ginseng roots you recommend? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted April 23, 2013 I know what you mean. I had some Korean Ginseng directly from Korea. My wife knew someone living there and they knew exactly which brands and quality to get. I also bought some for a friend who is highly sensitive to energy and he had used Ginseng in various forms before. He tried this Korea Ginseng and couldn't believe it. Â Anyways: I've not found anything similar, even online and appearing as even made in Korea. I would be interested if you find something worthwhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai Mountain man Posted April 23, 2013 What does it take to grow ginseng? I've been interested in growing something legal useful in my backyard or something. Ginseng seems like a pretty good idea now that you mention it, I know some family members would appreciate me giving them some of the home-grown stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted April 24, 2013 dragonherbs.com seems pretty good to me. Everything I've gotten so far has been top notch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunder_Gooch Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) I've found a few sources for the roots but I am unsure of what conditions they were actually grown in, if they are contaminated with heavy metals and toxins etc. Â looks to be about $200.00 per pound which is way more than I want to pay.

Maddie Posted April 25, 2013 This is why its so important to get a good diagnosis before taking herbs. Ginseng is a good example. Asian Ginseng is yang while American Ginseng is yin. If you are yin deficent then taking Korean Ginsing will make you feel just as you described.In this case then I'd recommend American Ginseng as it builds yin.
