[MPWG] quick question about ginseng use

[Cafesombra at aol.com]

Hello, this is one for the ginseng experts among you...
 
I'm beginning a project with a cosmetics company, helping them source some  
ingredients.  My question; Is there any reason whatsoever to apply ginseng  
root extract to finger or toe nails?  Is there any literature that would  
indicate delivery of any medicinal / tonic benefit from extract applied to  finger or 
toe nails?  The company in question lists "panax ginseng extract"  in its 
ingredients list for nail oil (not sure yet if it's asian or  american, will 
inquire).  
 
Would appreciate any leads, thanks,
Jennifer
