Ginseng (\u4eba\u53c3) <\/strong><\/h2>\n
Botanical Origin and General Facts<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Ginseng belongs to the Araliaceae family and is a slow-growing perennial plant. The most well-known species are Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), which is cultivated mainly in Korea, China, and Japan, and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). The name \"Panax\" is derived from the Greek word \"panakeia,\" meaning \"cure-all,\" highlighting its reputation as a powerful healing herb. The ginseng root is notable for its human-like shape and has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years.<\/p>\n
Ginseng thrives in shaded, moist, nutrient-rich soils and grows best in cool mountainous regions. The roots are often harvested after six years, as the concentration of beneficial compounds is fully developed at this stage.<\/p>\n
