Korean White Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is recognized in Herbal Medicine as an adaptogen—a substance that helps increase energy and resistance to stress. This includes support for both mental and physical fatigue related to stress. Its use as a general tonic has been documented in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries, where it is believed to help restore balance and vitality.

In the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine, qi (pronounced “chee”) is considered the body’s vital life force. It is thought to be influenced by inherited traits and essential elements such as air, food, and water. Maintaining balance in qi is traditionally associated with overall wellness and resilience.
