Please be responsible: All roots, herbs, leaves and barks must be legally obtained. Please check your states laws prior to removing any plant or plant part from its native territory.

                           Wild and wild-simulated American ginseng roots can only be legally exported if they were harvested from plants that are 5 years of age or older and were legally harvested during the designated State harvest season.

Ginseng plants can be aged before they are harvested by two simple methods:

Count the number of leaves (also known as prongs) a plant has.
Count the number of stem scars on the rhizome (also known as root neck) of the plant.
