Etymology
The word 'ginseng' has its origins in the Chinese word 'rรฉnshฤn', which translates literally to 'man root'. This name was chosen because the root of the ginseng plant often resembles the shape of a human body. Ginseng has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, with its mentions dating back to at least the first century AD. The plant's medicinal properties were highly prized for their supposed ability to promote longevity and vitality, leading to its widespread use across Asia. In the modern era, ginseng has gained popularity in the Western world as a dietary supplement. Various species of ginseng, mainly Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius, are cultivated for commercial use, especially in Korea and North America. Its use in health products and energy drinks reflects its global appeal as a natural stimulant and wellness enhancer.
