Ginseng Root comes from the plant Panax ginseng and is one of the best-known medicinal plants in the world. As an incense, the dried root releases an earthy, slightly sweet and spicy fragrance reminiscent of damp forest floor.
In traditional Chinese and Korean medicine, ginseng has been valued as a strengthening tonic for over 5,000 years. As an incense it is said to promote strength and vitality, counteract exhaustion and strengthen masculine energy. It is considered a symbol of longevity and wisdom.
Use: Heat small pieces of the dried root on glowing charcoal. Use sparingly, as the fragrance can be intense.
