What is the difference between ginseng and Korean ginseng?

When it comes to ginseng and Korean ginseng, we all know that these are two very precious things. Maybe most people only know that they have high nutritional value and can nourish the body. It can also be used as a medicinal material for patients to recuperate. But in fact, there are some differences between ginseng and Korean ginseng. Let me explain the differences between the two in detail below. Friends who don’t know much about this issue may wish to take a serious look at it.

The difference between Korean ginseng and Panax ginseng:

Korean ginseng is also known as Korean ginseng and other straight ginseng. It is the root of the ginseng plant of the Araliaceae family with rhizomes, which is processed and steamed. It is divided into North Korean red ginseng and South Korean red ginseng. Korean ginseng can be divided into water ginseng, white ginseng and red ginseng according to its shape and color. Korean ginseng has the effects of replenishing vitality, promoting body fluid and calming the mind. It is suitable for people with palpitations, insomnia, weak body, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, etc. Modern medical research shows that Korean ginseng has a variety of nourishing effects. Japanese and Korean scholars have found that Korean ginseng has obvious effects in preventing diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, etc. Korean ginseng also has the effects of anti-cancer, controlling diseases, promoting blood circulation, preventing fatigue, and enhancing immunity.

Ginseng is a perennial herb that prefers a cool and humid climate. It mostly grows in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests or miscellaneous woods on gentle slopes or sloping lands at an altitude of 500 to 1100 meters in the mountains where the temperature difference between day and night is small. Because the root is enlarged, spindle-shaped and often forked, and the overall appearance is quite similar to a human head, hands, feet and limbs, it is called ginseng. In ancient times, ginseng was elegantly called Huangjing, Dijing, and Shencao. Ginseng is known as the "king of herbs" and is one of the world-famous "Three Treasures of Northeast China" (ginseng, sable fur, and deer antler). It is a precious medicinal material that is well-known both at home and abroad and known to people of all ages.

Ginseng has the effects of "replenishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, settling the soul, stopping panic, removing evil spirits, improving eyesight, making people happy and improving intelligence", and "long-term consumption will make one lighter and prolong life".

In fact, Korean ginseng and panax ginseng are both precious Chinese medicinal materials. They are nourishing tonics and have many benefits for the body.

That’s all I have to say about the differences between ginseng and Korean ginseng. If friends understand these little bits of knowledge, they can buy according to their real needs. Don’t think that both are ginseng or something like that and there is no difference. That would be very irresponsible to our health. Especially when buying health products, you should be more careful to distinguish them.
