Codonopsis has traditionally been used to build vitality, and in some cases used in place of ginseng. It is considered to not be as strong as ginseng, better suited for all different body types, and can be taken on a longer term basis; whereas ginseng is said to be overstimulating and should be taken for a short period of time. It is also much more affordable than ginseng.
