I have heard that this Wild American Ginseng is cool. I mean really cool, as in it is best for the coming summer. As per the Chinese the effect on the body is cooling. It is better than the Chinese or Korean Ginseng for hot blooded people who feel more hot than others in the same weather.

I normally take this herb, so I want to confirm.
