We could easily find Panax ginseng in Northeastern part of China and Korea.The shape itself seems to indicate that the root is powerful enough to be effective in treating the entire human body.
Ginseng is cultivated all over the world today. Ginseng comes from Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, Russia, America, and Canada. Ginseng is not categorized as a medicinal plant in many countries, but rather as a health food.
Different kinds of ginseng are cultivated in different areas. They differ in their content of active agents and their overall effectiveness.
Only two kinds of ginseng are medicinally considered genuine: the Chinese-Korean Panax ginseng and the Canadian Panax quinquefolius.
Because of the diversity of its active agents and the richness of its effects, Chinese-Korean Panax ginseng is described as the king or emperor of all herbal remedies.
Because ginseng is effective in so many different ways, it is easy to understand why the soil, climate, region, and care during cultivation play such important roles. The best and most balanced spectrum of effectiveness can only develop if the plant grows under optimal conditions.
Natural Korean Ginseng is nurtured for a six-year period before it matures into an adult plant to be harvested. The land is then left idle for 15years to replenish its nutrients
No chemicals or chemical fertilizers are added to the soil where the ginseng grows.
Ginseng accelerates the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein, which are the major ingredients of human cells. Ginseng can help transform food into energy, which helps construct human cells. Chinese medical theory stresses on “fostering sound constitutions to heal illness”. Ginseng is beneficial for comprehensive nourishment for the human body.
Chinese medicine compares five human organs — liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney to five elements of the nature — wood, fire, soil, metal,and water. Since the five natural elements are subjugate or generate with one another under different conditions, the interrelations among the five organs function in a similar way. Chinese medicines apply various methods including supplementing the deficient element, cooling, warming, and purge to address the unbalance of yin and yang in the human body. Ginseng stimulates such processes. It is not a replacement for ary particular nutrition.
