The most common form is <i>Panax ginseng<\/i>, also called Asian or Korean ginseng. <i>Panax<\/i> actually comes from the word \u201cpanacea,\u201d which refers to the belief that this plant may be a solution for \u201call difficulties\u201d and is a source of longevity and strength. The translation for \u2018ginseng\u2019 is \u201cman-root\u201d.<\/p><p>Other types of ginseng include American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), and Indian ginseng (Withania somnifera) among others. Note that each type of ginseng may have differing effects on the body, and that Siberian ginseng is not even related to Panax ginseng.<\/p><p>The root of the plant is what is used in traditional medicine and supplements. When the root is dried immediately after harvesting it is called white ginseng. To be called red ginseng the plant usually has ripened for longer and the root is dried using heat, turning it a more reddish color.<\/p><p>Ginseng is an <a title=\"adaptogen\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/natural-solutions\/adaptogens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adaptogen<\/a>, a herb said to help the body cope with physical, chemical, or biological stresses.
