Ginseng Tea’s Glorious History

Share |

Ginseng Tea is taken from the plant Camelia Sinensis which is found Africa, in the Middle East, and in Asia, where it grows in abundance. The Emperors of Ancient China used this tea as their aperitif more than 4000 years ago. There are records of this tea being enjoyed in India, perhaps because of its proximity to China, but an old legend cemented its status as a Chinese beverage.

The Legend of the Ginseng Tea

Legend has it that an ancient Chinese emperor thinking about how to run his kingdom effectively, when a leaf flew directly onto the hot water that he was drinking. Not knowing that the leaf was there, he drank the water, and felt energized and alert enough to manage his kingdom once more.

The rest, as they say, is history, as Ginseng Tea made its way into the cities and into cupboards of households everywhere, often used for medicinal purposes and sold by Chinese merchants throughout parts of Asia.

Japan has an impressive Tea Ceremony and required young ladies all over the country to learn how to host a tea party as a sign of being brought up in elegance. In more recent years scientists have authenticated the healthful effects of Ginseng Tea and attest to how it can help you improve your health.

Who Can Drink Ginseng Tea

Anyone can drink Ginseng Tea without having to get a doctor’s prescription. However, if you are suffering from caffeine overdose, you are not allowed to drink tea. Drinking Ginseng Tea brings positive benefits to the following:

• Those who are suffering from nervousness and anxiety

• Those who have stomach ulcers

• Those who suffer from heart ailments, palpitations, and kidney problems

• Insomniacs, and those who suffer from nausea or dizziness.
