Not only can you "come back to life" but you can also "escape"? "King of Herbs" ginseng reveals the secret!
In China, ginseng has always been regarded as the king of herbs. In the west, ginseng is called PANAX C.A. MEYER ginseng, in which "ginseng" comes from Greek, meaning "cure all diseases".

As can be seen from this name, the magical effect of ginseng is recognized by the world. In China, the name "Ginseng" adds a bit of mystery.

There is a story in the "Golden Rooster and Five Elements in Optics Valley" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. "When Emperor Wen was in the Sui Dynasty, he could hear people's voices every night after joining the Party, which was very popular. I walked a mile into the house and saw the branches and leaves of ginseng were abnormal. I dug it five feet underground and got ginseng. Just like the human body, my limbs are ready-made and my voice is dead. "

In addition, there are many stories about ginseng becoming refined. After all, ginseng, as the first health care, is considered as a herbal medicine that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth. Ginseng is more spiritual as it gets older, giving it the title of mountain elf.

Nowadays, the older generation of ginseng pickers have to shout when they find ginseng in the mountains, then tie it with red rope and start digging again. It is said that ginseng will not run away. Although it seems a little superstitious, it has certain scientific basis.

Why do people "run" during the meeting? This is because ginseng will continue to grow in addition to the roots. The stems on the ground come and go with each season, and the new leaves are different every year.

In addition, ginseng also has a dormant self-protection behavior, that is, if it is attacked by pests and wild animals during germination, the buds will stop growing and rest in the soil for one or several years without being dug up.

Therefore, many mountaineers found that there are too few ginseng in this place this year, and they will not find it when they come back next year, which will create the illusion that people can run. When the scene reappears, it is usually like this: "Hello, is my ginseng there?"

Although it won't run away, it won't hinder the health care function of ginseng. After all, it can be called "the king of herbs", more because of the inherent nutritional value of ginseng.

Ginsenoside Rg2 contained in ginseng can effectively alleviate the lack of oxygen supply to the heart, regulate hemodynamics, and has obvious cardiotonic effect.

The most remarkable function is to rescue cardiogenic shock and hemorrhagic shock, which is also the main reason why the ancients thought that ginseng had the effect of "bringing back the dead".

In addition, ginsenoside Rh2 monomer in ginseng can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and ginsenoside Rg3 can inhibit the adhesion and invasion of tumor cells and prevent the formation of new blood vessels of cancer cells, thus inhibiting the growth, diffusion and metastasis of tumors, which has obvious anti-cancer effect.

Everyone's impression of ginseng is generally white ginseng. If you mention red ginseng, you may think it is another variety of ginseng. In fact, the variety is the same. Red ginseng is a deep-processed cooked ginseng, which is easier to absorb than ginseng.

Red ginseng is processed by soaking, cleaning, sorting and steaming. It is warm in nature and can greatly replenish vitality, pulse recovery, qi and blood. It is the first choice for people with yin deficiency and yang deficiency, especially suitable for taking in winter.

If you are often afraid of the cold, your hands and feet are not warm, dizziness and fatigue, shortness of breath, stomach cold, long-term diarrhea, insomnia and dreaminess, you can choose red ginseng tonic.

Korean ginseng, a food that seems to be deeply loved by Korean people, often appears in a popular Korean drama. Perhaps influenced by Korean dramas, some foreign tourists who travel to South Korea always buy some red ginseng as gifts to take back.

Is it from Chinese medicine? "Authentic medicinal materials"? In other words, "Huainan is orange, Huaibei is bitter orange", which means that the effect of ginseng in another place may be much worse. At present, geographically, South Korea is located in the south of the Korean Peninsula, which is not a good growth area for ginseng.

The research shows that the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of Korean red ginseng and China red ginseng are basically the same, but there are differences in processing methods.

In the northeast, especially the Changbai Mountain range, it is a place where ginseng can be planted well, and it is also the origin of "authentic" ginseng. Therefore, you don't have to go abroad to buy red ginseng, you can buy it at your doorstep.

Changbai Mountain ginseng is famous for its geographical environment. Changbai Mountain has superior natural conditions and belongs to the continental seasonal climate in the north temperate zone, with four distinct seasons, short development history and light man-made damage.

Most of the wild animals still maintain a good ecological balance. Because the soil in Changbai Mountain area is fertile and the climatic conditions are suitable.

The produced wild ginseng is full and compact in texture, brown in color and high in effective components, and it is the best among wild ginseng.
