What is Korean Ginseng? Ginseng roots are taken orally as adaptogens, aphrodisiacs, nourishing stimulants. The root is most often available in dried form, either in whole or sliced form. Ginseng leaf, although not as highly prized, is sometimes also used; as with the root it is most often available in dried form.
