For over 2000 years, ginseng has been the single most valued herb in Oriental medicine. The ancient Chinese called it "jen shen" ("man root") because of its resemblance to human limbs. It was believed that continuous use of the root would lead to longevity as well as cure many ailments. These days, ginseng is wildely adopted as a healing herb that helps stimulate the appetite, aid in digestion, and overcome fatigue.

Ginseng originated in Manchuria and has been in use in the area for over 5000 years. It was named "ren shen" by the locals, and the direct Chinese translation is "man root," referring to its human-like shape. The Chinese believed that ginseng was a cure-all plant for all sorts of ailments, and also believed that drinking tea brewed with the root would lead to a long life. As such, it was such a prized commodity that was worth even more than gold.
