Ginger root and ginseng root are not the same; ginger is a different plant than any of the types of ginseng root.inseng root can refer to American ginseng, Panax quinquefolius; Asian ginseng, Panax ginseng; or Siberian ginseng, Eleutherococcus senticosus. All three plants have different origins and perform different functions, but they are collectively called ginseng.
Go where the ginseng grows. Ginseng is native to eastern hardwood forests of North America, from southern Canada (Ontario and Quebec), west to South Dakota and Oklahoma, and south to Georgia. 1 Ginseng is also commercially grown outside its natural distribution in Oregon and Washington. If there is any risk of damaging the roots of adjacent immature ginseng plants, do not attempt to harvest the plant. 2  After you have dug the root out, squeeze the red fruits into the palm of your hand and plant the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in the soil near the harvested plant.
