It's a medicinal herb that's been used in Asia for centuries, and its main effects are stress relief and hormone balancing (menopausal females report that ginseng keeps them from experiencing symptoms). There are many other health benefits to ginseng, including offsetting diabetes effects, curing insomnia and erectile dysfunction, and helping ease cold symptoms. In other words, it's pretty awesome.

Ginseng is similar to green tea antioxidant-wise. But instead of being a mild, relaxing tea, it has a natural energy boost. It is a natural alternative to caffine in coffee or soda. However to some people, it causes jitters and hyperactivity.
