Ginseng

Ginseng is a plant that is grown in the Northern Hemisphere close to China, Siberia, and Korea. Ginseng roots are taken orally as aphrodisiacs, adaptogens, and nourishing stimulants. It can also be used to treat diabetes and sexual dysfunction in men.

It can be obtained in dried form as sliced or whole. Ginseng leaf is also used though it is not as coveted.
