Ginseng




This picture of is of a root of the plant Ginseng, which is used as an herb in tea, medicine and has all sorts of uses. I saw this root and several others displayed at the mall. They are framed and ready to be put up in your home! Aren't they lovely? You would be surprised to find out the one I took a picture is on sale for $6,000 US Dollars!!

After looking on-line, it looks like ginseng is thought to bring good luck, carrying some in your pocket can add a decade to your life and the most highly prized roots are the ones that look like a human body. I wonder if this one is meant to look like a human body...
