Siberian Ginseng is an Herb that is native to Siberia, Korea and the Shansi and Hopei Provinces of China. Siberian Ginseng is not a "true" Ginseng as it is not a species of Panax - there is a strong argument for renaming this Herb to Eleuthero so as to disassociate it from Ginseng - although its beneficial actions to date appear to be similar to those of "true" Ginseng.
