The balsam and its oil are used as fixatives in soap perfumes and fragrances. Copaiba is also used as an artist material, especially in oil paint recipes and in ceramic decoration. Mineral painters use a medium made of copaiba, turpentine and lavender to mix with their minerals for adhesion to ceramic vessels before kiln firing.
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.
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.), the ginseng grown commercially in Canada, is a small, fleshy rooted perennial native to Eastern North America. Grown from seed, ginseng is typically harvested three to four years after its initial planting, when it is largely considered mature.ouple this with the fact that there is no revenue for a minimum of three years, which is the time it takes to grow a single crop, and it becomes less economically feasible for most growers. American ginseng has a broad habitat, from North Eastern Ontario and Quebec south to Louisiana and Arkansas.
