ORIGIN OF KOREAN GINSENG

Korean Ginseng is a medicinal herb which grows naturally in Korea, an ancient country situated in north-eastern Asia. Its medical use was widely well-known to herb doctors in this region about five thousand years ago. Since the effectiveness of Korean Ginseng has been recognized through practical use for a long time, Korean Ginseng has always been regarded as a divine cure. The name Ginseng can be found in various medicinal books, many of which were written as early as B.C.100. In the records of many Chinese medical books dating from the inception of publishing, it was noted that Korean Ginseng is of the highest level of quality. Korean Ginseng originally grew deep in the mountains of Korea. However, this wild Korean Ginseng could not meet the everincreasing demands and from the 16th century, it has been cultivated on farms for mass processing and supply in Korea. It was already recognized in Korea a long time ago (B.C. 57 A.D.668) that Korean Ginseng possessed the qualities of panacea, tonic, and rejuvenator, and other medicinal properties as well. The effectiveness of Korean Ginseng is duly recognized among south-eastern Asians as well as Chinese. As its effect has been proven scientifically, Korean Ginseng is now becoming the ginseng for all human beings in the world. Natural-Therapeutic Effect of Korean Ginseng The scientific name of Korean Ginseng is Panax Ginseng. It has been acknowledged as a natural mysterious cure among the northeastern peoples because of broad medicinal applications. The origin of the word Panax derived from panacea, a Greek word meaning cure-all. According to the classification method of herb medicines in the Chinese medicinal book, God-Farmer Materia Medica (A.D. 483-496), Korean Ginseng was described as the superlative drug, panacea, tonic, and rejuvenator. Recent pharmacological and clinical studies reveal that Korean Ginseng has a natural-therapeutic effect. Korean Ginseng is recommended for the following symptoms: o Decreased health conditions
