Ginseng is a perennial plant that grows in Asia, North America and Europe. There are two main types of ginseng: Asian and American ginseng. Asian ginseng has been used for centuries as an adaptogen, which means it can help your body better cope with stress, fatigue and other physical or mental stressors. It also helps support immune function and may reduce inflammation. American ginseng is grown in North America and has similar properties as Asian ginseng. Both types of ginseng contain various active compounds called ginsenosides, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
