I’ve been using Canadian ginseng to assist with my immune health, especially during this cold and flu season… I’m also intrigued by the potential of ginseng to assist in the prevention of acute respiratory illness, as being someone who suffered from bad childhood asthma, the health of my respiratory system is something I’ve always prioritized.
