From the Paper:

"Often people see announcements about the use of ginseng and how it will help with different illnesses such as high blood pressure, but how true are these reports? In a supplement snapshot by Prevention, it tells how people use ginseng for a number of reasons including hot flashes, reducing cold symptoms, reducing sugar levels (2007, p. 67). American ginseng is wanted mostly in the Orient, but it is a large business with wild and cultivated ginseng producing $25 million annually (American Ginseng, 2006, par. 2). As a valued product, it is important to study the history of ginseng, the uses of ginseng, and how it is produced."
