Ginseng Healthy Drinks
Ginseng is a powerful energy tonic and the most well known oriental herb. Ginseng which is known since ancient times tonifies the lungs and stomach and strengthens the spleen. It is also shown to have anti-stress capabilities. In Chinese medicine, ginseng is considered the most important for strengthening Qi, the vital energy of which the universe is comprised.

Revered in Chinese medicine for thousands years to restore and maintain health, ginseng is well accepted by Europeans and American medical applications and is used worldwide.

It is believed that ginseng was discovered in the mountains of Northern China over 5000 years ago. It was probably first used as a food. However, there was a record shows that it was used as a medicinal purpose over 3000 years ago. In sixteenth century Korea started experimenting and cultivating the world’s first farmed root.

Wild ginseng grows in very thick forest. It doesn't grow at the periphery of the forest, but deep in the mountains. This has less to do with its growth nature and more with the harvesting nature of mankind.

Wild ginseng is very large and big. It is juicy and full of liquid. The wrinkles in the head of the root that are small and compact indicates a better quality herb than ginseng with wide and thick wrinkles on the head. A longer head is better than a short one. The more pearls on the beard roots the better.
