Ginseng is a perennial plant that has fleshy roots and belongs to the Araliaceae family.  It grows in the Northern Hemisphere, Eastern Asia, Eastern Siberia and North America.

Siberian Ginseng is a member of the same family but the compounds ginsenosides that are found in Ginseng are not found in Siberian Ginseng, instead it contains eleutherosides which helps to stimulate the immune system. Siberian Ginseng has a woody and wrinkled root rather than a fleshy root.

It grows between 5-10 feet high; the branches on the plant are covered with thorns and flowers which are yellow or violet colour and turn into black berries in the late summer.
