Ginseng has been in the mist in America as some company uses Ginseng as marketing for their drinks. However, it is still striving in Western culture as it is fundamental to our diet and health.
During the pandemic of Covid, Ginseng has increased in price due to many people wanting to drink it for its benefits. Studies were found on ScienceDirect official website that, ” ginseng is a potent anti-viral agent by enhancing innate and adaptive immunity and adjuvant action”. To conclude ginseng does have an actual effect on health, it is just the way that we use it differently that may affect the results also.

Despite my differences, they both have their pros and cons. Americans used ginseng to enjoy the taste while neglecting the benefits while Westerners use it the opposite way. Westerners neglect the taste and use it for its benefits. However, I would side more with western not just because I grew up with it but because I believe you can always make something healthy without neglecting all of its benefits.
