Hello,
is ginseng considered more as an adaptogen or as a nootropic, and therefore does the six-month usage limit apply to it?
The group of adaptogens fulfills both functions, with each herb having a different ratio. Therefore, the system of use in practice must be adapted not only to the given situation but also to the plant's ability to influence certain processes in the body. Some adaptogens can be used long-term, while for typically stimulating herbs (e.g., Rhodiola, maca...), short-term use (ranging from days to weeks) is more appropriate.
