What do you do when you always feel tired and have no energy? For us Chinese, we double boil some ginseng to drink. It really works. At least for me. Lately, I’ve been sleeping late and waking up lately. I explain my situation to my aunt and she reminded me to boil some ginseng to drink. Because I am always so busy during the night time, it didn’t come up to me to do this. The best time to drink is before you sleep. So we start boiling it in the evening for 3 hours.

I used 1/4 of an ounce with two small bowl of water for two person. Double boil it for 3 hours. If you have sliced American Ginseng, then just use as sliced. If you have the whole ones, you may have to boil it half way and slice them.

These are some I bought for my aunt when I return to KL as gifts. They like it very much as this is very expensive item over in Malaysia. There are different grades of American Ginseng. You have to go to a reputable store so the honest sales assistants can help you choose the best type in your price range.
