Less well-known than white ginseng, the root of organic red ginseng has the same active properties, but contains higher concentrations that make it more effective.
In skincare and cosmetics, it is used for its energising benefits. Ginseng has many different evocative names, such as flower of life, root of heaven, and root of immortality. It is an adaptogen herb, meaning it helps the body to adapt, and increases its resistance to all types of emotional or physical stress. A staple in traditional Chinese medicine, organic red ginseng has the ability to boost vital energy.
