I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008.  I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades.  It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. 
The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi.  After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu!

Very interesting 

Maybe I need to look into doing some of those exercises for myself

I like to say it affects your Chi, rather than It gets you high.
Definitely grow your own if you can.
OHH!  And they do sell Wild American Ginseng!  I found it on Amazon.

---

Ah,  I do need my Chi aligned 

Dang, that wild Ginseng root is expensive on Amazon!

I'd like to order some to maybe grow, but man I can't afford it!

What are you ordering roots or powder?

---

I live in America, I can try to hunt you some ginseng this year if you want? I haven't hunted it in years. (They grow around where I live)

---

Do I ever!!! Yes please,  And if you do go,  please take habitat pics and shots of them in the wild too,  if you can 

I also live in america,  and it grows in my state too,  just not in my area as far as I know.

I just looked, and it said my state has some of the highest quality Ginseng out of the whole country.

It's more situated in the Eastern and south Eastern part of my sate,  towards the mountains. But it does grow here in the west too.

I have never seen any before,  and I spend most of my time in the woods,  foraging for plants and mushrooms,  so I doubt that it grows in my immediate area.

However,  when I go morel hunting tomorrow,  I'll be on the look out just for the hell of it.

Keep me posted,  and good luck

Siberian Ginseng extract is available on Amazon for hella cheap.
It's been cooked.  I don't what kind of solvent they used to make the essence.
I am so high on American Ginseng.  Siberian is like smoking Schwag Pot.

---

Yeah,  I like growing my own herbs. Why spend ungodly amounts of money on all that,  especially cannabis,  when one can just grow their own

This is what they look like:(be aware there are look alikes. Ginseng has a plant based stem where a lot of the look alike are just baby trees that have bark on the stem and won't have berries.)

---

Right on man!

It seems that I have found it before in my life in the woods. It looks so very familiar.

Keep me posted though,  for sure,  as I am very interested in obtaining this herb to grow for myself

It takes a long time to get good roots. As I said I planted mine probably around 2009 or so

Dang!  Well,  maybe it's not a good idea to grow it then.

I found a pretty neat video on Ginseng though.

Makes me want to go out and find some!

---

It's a great idea cos the sooner the plant them the less you will have to wait

Edit: I used to hunt so much that when I would close my eyes I would see roots 🤣

That was the only time I ever enjoyed a bologna sandwhich too. When I would be hiking all day and run out of food but found a good spot so I stayed, then by the time I got back to town somebody had bologna and I said give me that fucking shit 💀

Yeah,  I used to hunt cubes so much,  that I dreamed of cow fields several times a week 

Hunting for mushrooms/herbs is an amazing addiction and rush!

I could never be hungry enough to eat bologna 

That stuff is made out of things even a starving animal would probably not eat.

I will admit though,  when I ate meat,  I used to love fried bologna,  but alas,  that was in a galaxy far far away...........

You can become hungry enough to eat anything if you hike long enough without food.....hunger is the best spice

True,  and that is what it would take for me to ever eat bologna again 



On second thought,  I think I'd starve..........

Weird how I have grown it for many years,  and have once never tried it
