Origin
The ginseng (Panax ginseng) is an adaptogenic root used for millennia in traditional Asian medicine, mainly Chinese, Korean and Japanese, for its exceptional benefits. It subsequently became known and coveted by the Western world for its magical virtues. Belonging to the Panax genus of the Araliaceae family, this root with stimulating and toning properties plays a crucial role in health and maintaining brain performance.
Its beneficial effects come from ginsenosides, active ingredients known to stimulate cognitive performance and improve memory skills. This is why Kusmi Tea chose to integrate the extract from ginseng in its new Rituel Mémoire tea.
What is an adaptogenic plant?
An adaptogenic plant improves the body's capacity to resist various types of stress and helps it adapt to physical or mental effort. Among the best known, we find the ginseng, maca, rhodiola and ashwagandha. By strengthening the body's resilience, these plants contribute to improving intellectual and physical performance while promoting the quality of sleep.
Ginseng cultivation
This root of Asian origin needs to be cultivated for 6 to 7 years so that the roots mature and can develop all of their benefits. There are currently 4 species of Panax in herbal products, generally classified under the heading "ginseng": Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng, Korean ginseng) used in our Memory Ritual Tea, Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng), Panax notoginseng (san-chi ginseng) and Panax pseudoginseng (Japanese ginseng). However, not everyone has the same virtues and is not cultivated in the same way.

The main benefits of ginseng
Nicknamed “root of life” because of its many virtues, the ginseng is a powerful natural stimulant. Numerous studies have highlighted the properties of its active components, ginsenosides, and mainly their actions on the immune system by reducing the risk of contracting infections, white blood cells and their regulation of inflammatory responses.
But what is mainly interesting about ginseng are its numerous virtues on brain performance.
Indeed, ginseng acts on memory through several mechanisms:
- Reduction of oxidative stress : Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this root protects neurons against oxidative damage.
- Improved brain adaptability : By promoting neuronal connections, ginsenosides improve learning and memory abilities.
- Neurotransmitter modulation : It acts on acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory and attention.
- Neural protection : It protects nerve cells from premature aging.
Kusmi Tea therefore did not hesitate to concentrate the extract, thanks to a unique scientific process, allowing the active extract of this plant to be fixed directly on the tea leaves of the Memory Ritual. This product will help you improve your concentration and vitality while reducing mental fatigue. Memory Ritual is therefore an ideal ally to boost your cognitive abilities!
How to consume ginseng
Ginseng is generally consumed in the form of food supplements, powder,brew or whole roots in decoction. There are two types of ginseng: red and yellow.
What are the differences between yellow or red ginseng?
Ginseng roots are yellow when simply dried. They take on a red color when they have been treated with steam. It is essential to ensure the quality and origin of the product to guarantee optimal action on the body. At Kusmi Tea, we select quality organic ingredients to offer you effective products rich in active ingredients.

What precautions should be taken?
Contraindications
Consumption of ginseng is not recommended for people suffering from diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular diseases without prior medical advice. In addition, people suffering from obesity, insomnia or nervousness should consume it with caution.
Adverse effects and overdose of ginseng
Although this Asian root has many benefits, excessive consumption of this root can lead to adverse effects such as irritability, sleep disturbance, or increased blood pressure.
At Kusmi Tea, we take your health to heart. This is why we recommend avoiding the consumption of our Memory Ritual for pregnant or breastfeeding women as well as children under 18 years of age. If in doubt, seek the advice of a healthcare professional.
What daily dose?
Clinical studies show that the amount of ginseng contained in three cups of Memory Ritual per day is sufficient to stimulate concentration and memory. Consuming more will not necessarily enhance the desired effect. As with any product, excessive consumption is not recommended. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.

Adopt the Memory Ritual and enjoy the benefits of ginseng every day!
Yes, in order to benefit from the cumulative virtues of plants. Most ginseng-based food supplements are formulated with other active ingredients. Among the combinations that work, we find ginseng and acerola, or even ginseng and ginger.
At Kusmi Tea You can therefore combine our products to benefit from the desired effects. Against established fatigue you can combine our Memory Ritual with our Immune Defenses Ritual. For aphrodisiac effects we advise you to combine Rituel Mémoire with our Ginger Lemon Green Tea.
Thanks to its adaptogenic action and its numerous benefits, ginseng remains essential for improving intellectual and physical performance while supporting the vitality of the body.
