As a commodity ginseng, there are many names, detailed classification and various types. Generally speaking, some are named according to the cultivation methods, such as wild ginseng and transplanted ginseng; Some are named after different places of origin, such as Jilin ginseng, Liaoning ginseng and Shizhu ginseng; Some are named according to processing methods, such as red ginseng, white sugar ginseng, dried ginseng and so on. There are two other situations, Korean red ginseng and Jilin wild ginseng. Ginseng can be divided into wild ginseng, transplanted ginseng and garden ginseng in terms of cultivation methods and growth environment. Wild ginseng is also called wild ginseng and wild ginseng. As the name implies, it grows naturally in Shan Ye, not artificially cultivated ginseng. Jilin province is the hometown of ginseng. Wild ginseng in China mainly grows in Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province and Daxinganling Mountains in Heilongjiang Province. Changbai Mountain has the largest number of forest areas and is highly concentrated in Fusong County and Ji 'an City. Wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province is famous for its rich tonic, rich ginseng flavor and pure quality, and enjoys a high reputation in the world. The growth cycle of wild ginseng is very long. According to historical records, the life span of ginseng is about 400 years. Its growth rate is extremely slow, generally speaking, it takes 20 ~ 30 years to grow to 15 ~ 16 g, and the shortest time for seed germination is 20 ~ 22 months. Coupled with natural growth and lack of necessary management, things are rare, so they are favored by people, and the price is extremely high, and some are even "priceless." Fusong County, Jilin Province is known as the "hometown of ginseng" and is rich in wild ginseng resources. In 1950s, about 300kg (1.2000) of wild ginseng could be purchased every year. However, in the past 30 years, due to the change of natural environment, the development and utilization of land and the destruction of forests, wild ginseng has gradually become scarce, and now only about 30 kilograms (1, 200) can be purchased every year. It can be seen that the protection of wild resources is imperative. Nevertheless, in some deep forests, wild ginseng can still be collected occasionally. 198 1 September, a wild ginseng with a growth period of about 150 years and a weight of 258 grams was dug up at the edge of the virgin forest in Fusong County. The ancients often said, "Seven Liang is a mirror, and eight Liang is a treasure" (16 two systems). This ginseng king is a treasure among treasures. Wild ginseng is hard to come by, so be careful when digging, try not to damage the branches and fibrous roots and keep the original appearance intact. This completely dried wild ginseng is extremely rare, more precious and priceless. 1In August, 989, three "mountain people" dug up a handful of wild ginseng in the virgin forest of Lushui River in Fusong County, Jilin Province, weighing 305 grams. According to the preliminary identification of ginseng experts, this kind of ginseng has grown for at least 500 years and is regarded as a "rare treasure" in ginseng. This kind of oversize ginseng, with excellent appearance and considerable elasticity, attracted many treasure hunters, and the price ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. It was bought by Fusong County Medicinal Materials Company for 350,000 yuan. They have been carefully processed to make the parameters more perfect. The news of extra-large ginseng spread like wildfire, and there were many buyers at home and abroad. The company claimed: "If you want to buy ginseng, you are not allowed to ask if the bid is below 1 10,000." Finally, it was bought by a businessman who didn't want to be named at a price of 6.5438+0.08 million yuan, setting a record that the price of a ginseng in China exceeded one million. First, people who often catch a cold should eat ginseng to prevent colds, which is the source of all diseases. A cold is usually a viral infection. Especially during the flu outbreak, the number of people suffering from colds is several times higher than usual. However, some people are not easy to catch a cold. Why is this? People who often catch a cold tend to be physically weak, while those who don't often catch a cold are better. Moreover, people who often eat ginseng can enhance their physical fitness and are not easy to catch a cold. Besides, as mentioned above, the doctor in a hospital in Los Angeles is Yan Bing Safner. He has been treating patients with ginseng for 30 years. He said that people who often drink ginseng tea should not catch a cold. Some experts believe that ginseng should not be eaten during a cold and fever, but it can be eaten to prevent colds after a cold is cured or at ordinary times. However, many ancient prescriptions handed down are effective prescriptions for treating colds with ginseng compatibility. Second, memory is obviously decreased. People can eat ginseng. With the growth of age, memory gradually declines, which is a natural law and also brings trouble to people. However, eating ginseng regularly can slow down the speed of memory decline, and even restore the memory of people with severe memory decline, which is also the conclusion reached by experts and patients. Many ancient medical books also recorded that ginseng has the function of "intelligence". Therefore, whether mental workers or manual workers, regular consumption of ginseng has a positive effect on the recovery or improvement of memory. Third, patients with hypertension can eat ginseng. Hypertension is a common and frequently-occurring disease, but few drugs can cure it. Ginseng is an ideal drug for treating hypertension. However, there is a misunderstanding in the medical field or among the people that people with high blood pressure can't eat ginseng. Actually, it is not. For example, Japanese doctor Dr. Jin used ginseng to cure many patients with hypertension. This paper introduces Professor Wu Bingxi's achievements in treating hypertension with ginseng in Jiangnan Health Diagnosis Center of Seoul National University, and introduces the experimental results of treating hypertension with ginseng in Hua Bing, Department of Physiology, Gyeongnam Medical University, which proves that ginseng has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should first choose ginseng to treat their own diseases. In addition, ginseng can also make the blood pressure of patients with hypotension normal, and there are many examples to prove that ginseng can balance people's blood pressure. Fourth, patients with coronary heart disease should first choose ginseng to treat the heart, which is the first of the five internal organs. The ancients said that ginseng governs the five internal organs and refers to the main internal organs headed by the heart. Coronary heart disease is a typical heart disease, with a large number of patients and great threat to human health, but there are not many specific drugs. Contemporary medical experts have confirmed that ginsenoside is the best drug to treat coronary heart disease, so patients with coronary heart disease should take ginsenoside, and the effect is satisfactory. Ginsenoside is the main component of ginseng. Ginseng root and leaf extracts such as ginsenoside powder and ginsenoside tablets are mostly exported abroad, and a few products are listed in China. If you can't buy finished ginsenoside, you can buy ginseng directly. In China, the United States, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other places, thousands of cases of coronary heart disease were treated with ginseng. It is impossible to make accurate statistics. This cannot be quoted. Five, cardiovascular patients can eat ginseng ginseng has a very good effect on cardiovascular diseases, which is unmatched by general western medicine. After years of clinical practice in treating cardiovascular diseases with ginseng, Korean experts believe that ginseng is the guardian of vascular children and has obvious curative effect on cardiovascular diseases and other blood diseases. China experts also have similar scientific research achievements. Therefore, it is ideal to suggest that patients with cardiovascular diseases eat ginseng to treat diseases. 6. Diabetic patients can eat ginseng to treat diabetes. It is not the research result of contemporary experts. The ancients recorded that ginseng has the effect of "quenching thirst". Thirst is one of the symptoms of diabetic patients. Ginseng can quench thirst. To put it bluntly, ginseng can cure diabetes. But there was no such thing as diabetes in ancient times. Contemporary expert research has confirmed that ginsenoside and other substances can produce insulin, which is exactly what diabetic patients need to supplement. Many diabetic patients in China, Korean, Japanese, Hongkong and Taiwan Province provinces were cured by taking ginseng, which was recorded in many books, newspapers and magazines. People with diabetes can make bold attempts. Seven, people with decreased vision can eat ancient books of ginseng, such as Shennong's Herbal Classic and Compendium of Materia Medica. Ginseng has the effect of "improving eyesight". The effect of this eyesight may not be immediate. It usually takes about one to two years to achieve initial results, and the effect is obvious. After the vision is restored or improved, you should still insist on taking ginseng. According to the principle of "eat less and eat more", persistence will benefit you for life. Eight, male hypofunction or impotence can eat ginseng. Many aphrodisiacs contain ginseng. In fact, patients with sexual dysfunction and impotence can eat ginseng alone. The easiest way is to buy ginsenoside powder (or tablets) and eat ginseng directly. Practice has proved that wild ginseng has the best effect, but wild ginseng is expensive and small in quantity, which is not suitable for most people. Then, artificially planted ginseng under the forest (also called planting the sea) and ginseng at the bottom of the old pond are also good. If you can't buy ginseng under the forest and ginseng at the bottom of the old pond, ordinary garden ginseng produced in Changbai Mountain area will do. Although ginseng is not as effective as hormone drugs in treating male sexual dysfunction or impotence, it has no side effects on human body and can be taken for a long time. Hormone aphrodisiac can't be eaten often.
