By Paul Hetzler The media trope of an aged character with their nightstand chock-full of pill bottles may be an unfair cliché but observing family and friends in their 70s and 80s, I’d say it has at least some validity. I’m sure anyone who takes numerous meds would like a single fix-all product, a universal remedy. For over a thousand years, an assortment of aches and ailments have been treated by such a panacea, the root of a medicinal plant we know as ginseng.
