AMERICAN GINSENG—BLOOD SUGAR REGULATOR AND IMMUNE BALANCER Ginseng root first came to the attention of the West in the wake of European contact with Chinese civilization, where this herb is considered the ultimate tonic. The discovery of a separate, indigenous species of Ginseng on the North American continent in the 18th century led to its widespread adoption in Western herbal medicine. American Ginseng came to be valued so highly that the plant came close to extinction and remains rare in its natural state. (We hasten to add here that SFHF uses only Certified Organically Grown American Ginseng root, which means that they do not contribute at all to the herb’s endangerment as a species.) Health Canada has granted its formal approval to St. Francis Herb Farm’s product, “American Ginseng” (NPN 80017037). While there is much research yet to be done on the healing qualities of this herb, for the present Health Canada has officially endorsed the following uses:

Adults: 30-90 drops (1-3mL) 3x daily in a little water with meals
