Panax ginseng is one of several types of [[ginseng]] commonly used in herbal medicine. Other types of ginseng include American ginseng and Siberian ginseng. The active compounds in Panax ginseng are believed to be steroid-like components called ginsenosides.* What Are the Different Types of Panax Ginseng?Panax ginseng is available in different forms. White ginseng, for instance, is Panax ginseng that has been dried and peeled. Red ginseng, on the other hand, is unpeeled Panax ginseng that is steamed before drying. White and red ginseng are available in tinctures, liquid extracts, powders and capsules.
In traditional Chinese medicine, red ginseng is thought to promote "yang" energy to a greater degree than white ginseng. As a result, red ginseng may be overstimulating in some cases.
