Usages

Aralia quinquefolia Decne & Planch. GINSENG. North America. The root is collected in large quantities in the hilly regions of Ohio, western Virginia, Minnesota and other parts of eastern America for export to China where it is valued as a medicine. Some persons in this country are in the habit of chewing the root, having acquired a relish for its taste, and it is chiefly to supply the wants of these that it is kept in the shops [1].

  1. U. S. Disp. 636. 1865. (Panax quinquefolium)


Cultivated in the United States and Canada (recently especially in Marathon county, Wisconsin; British Colombia and Ontario) from the 1870s for exporting the roots to China (Hong Kong). Experimentally grown elsewhere in the U.S., Europe (Sweden, England, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland), Israel, Australia, New Zealand and Chile. Already commercially cultivated in China. The drug has been used in China and SE Asia as an antipyretic and as a stimulant or tonic like Panax ginseng.
