The English word ginseng derives from the Chinese term rénshÄ“n (simplified: 人å‚; traditional: 人蔘), or Cantonese jan4 sang1, literally "man root" (referring to the root's characteristic forked shape, resembling the legs of a man). The rhizome is taken orally as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, stimulant, and in the treatment of type II diabetes, including sexual dysfunction in men.As with herbalism in general, ginseng's medical efficacy remains controversial. It has been difficult to verify the medicinal benefits of ginseng using modern science, as there are contradictory results from different studies, possibly due to the wide variety and quality of ginseng used in studies. The quality and neutrality of studies from East Asia have also been questioned. Wikipedia
