American Ginseng is one of the most important plant exports in the United States today. Starting in the 17th century, rumors flew across Europe that Canton would purchase ginseng at unreasonably high prices. After its discovery in America, ginseng was prodigiously collected and resold in China. Americans viewed ginseng as a commodity to be found and sold after hearing rumors of the root being sold in China at extravagant prices. However, ginseng didn't really catch on as the herbal remedy that it was in Asia. Numerous historians have done research on how this plant opened up the American Chinese trade, while others have looked at how ginseng was important in the development of rural America. People well versed in the humanities and investigative journalists have analyzed the folk traditions behind this plant and why it is so important; they have also looked at its medical history. Scientists have analyzed this plant, and have discovered and quantified numerous health benefits, and looked at the habitats and ranges in which the plant can be grown. To date, though, there has been no real interdisciplinary history of the conservation effort of ginseng, nor any connections drawn between
