Ginseng is one of the most popular, and most profitable, herbs in the world. It's fairly easy to grow too. In just a few years' time, you can have a successful ginseng growing business. Ginseng has been known to lower cholesterol, increase blood circulation to the brain, lower blood pressure, increase vitality, strengthen the nervous system and much, much more. Because it takes time to grow, mature roots bring as much as $600 a pound. Now that's profitable! Growing ginseng isn't too difficult. It doesn't require a full-time commitment either. You can still have a full-time job and other commitments. You just need a few hours a week to give your ginseng the care and attention it needs. One of the key ingredients to success as a ginseng grower is patience. Ginseng does not grow overnight. In fact, it can take about five or six years until your roots are mature enough to sell. Don't fret, while you're waiting for that, you can make good money selling seed and rootlets, which are possible to sell after just a couple years.
