Siberian ginseng, apopular herb available in most health food
stores, was described on the sixteen century Ben cao gan
mu (A Comprendium of Chinese Materia Medica) as "more
desirable than a cartload of gold." For several decades,
Russian and (more recently) Chinese scientists have
investigated this claim, finding that its active constituents
(adaptogens) are even more potent than those of
Panaxginseng in combating fatigue and stress. Their work is
summarized and made accessible in this easy-to-read
volume compilesd by Dr. Bruce Halstead and Loretta L.
Hood. Contains 179 refernces.
