Ginseng Rush

[jumprunner 0]

Just thought I might contribute something useful to the forum instead of, well, the usual...

Went to this small Chinese restaurant in SD and found these American Ginseng roots, so I boiled one, chopped it up, reboiled it until the soln was dark yellow.

Now, I get up in the morning groggy as hell, after hitting the snooze button about 10 times. Heat this stuff up, and after only a few sips....WHAM!!! Man, you can feel it, a full bodied type of alertness like you had never slept in the first place! And, it doesnt wear off like coffee does, and, well they say, its actually good for you so the more you take the better.

I dont take more than a small amout of the soln I described because its really powerful, dont want to go through the roof. Ive been stockpiling it for some time now, its like gold....only better. Id be willing to bet it even does something to calm you nerves, you know like when you go out the door? Anyway, the sense of alertness and stamina is from this stuff is like nothing Ive ever felt.

Just thought Id pass this information on.

Yup, that's why most of the good energy drinks and the good "energy/diet" suppliments use ginseng.

No, actually there are different types of Ginseng, the cheap stuff that doesnt work and the expensive stuff that does, from what Ive learned. They dont put the expensive stuff in energy drinks.

Panax Ginseng is crap, taken it before and it doesnt work. The one Im referring to is American Ginseng made in Wisconsin, and the only place Ive seen it was at that restaurant in SD, dont know where else to get it from.

Boiling the root takes a long time and is a pain in the ass, but the effects are worth it. Dont want to advertise the place, but if anyone is in SD I can PM the location. If anyone else knows where to get the AM Ginseng root...post it!

This restaurant told me Id have to go to LA if they ever run out.

I dont know, I have to disagree with some parts of this article just from experience. I used to get pretty run down working 12 hour factory shifts, but with this every day Im pretty on the go all night long, its really changed things. Doesnt "pop you awake" right away like caffiene, it increases energy levels over the long term (at least in me).

Id be interested to know how it affects anyone else. One other guy mentioned the Am Ginseng extracts affect him quite a bit, but I tend to stay away from these, just want the natural stuff.

The teabags are pretty good but I would go with the root, even though it is a pain in the ass to deal with.


Anyone interested, the place is at Fenton Parkway in SD right next door to Subway (where the IKEA store is). You can take the blue line trolley out to Fenton Parkway and itll put you right there.

Yea, bet it gives me a heartattack and kills me too!

Youre talking to someone who is hypersensitive to the amount of caffiene in a diet coke, which does to me what meth might do to anyone else.
