Not as well known, and less frequently used in cosmetics than White Ginseng, the root of Organic Red Ginseng has the same energizing properties but is more potent. Throughout the world, Ginseng is referred to by many names: Flower of Life, Root of Heaven, and Root of Immortality. It is an adaptogen herb, meaning that it helps the body adapt to emotional and physical stress. A staple in traditional Chinese medicine, Ginseng has the ability to boost vital energy, and is valued for its invigorating properties.
