How to eat ginseng?

 Wild ginseng, like other medicinal herbs, has different medicinal effects depending on the growing environment and harvest time. Of course, the older the drug, the better. It is best eaten raw. Here's how to eat it.

2) The roots, stems, and leaves of ginseng mined during peak growth in June and July can be boiled and eaten together. There is a way to eat the whole ingredient by eating only the root. First, cover the roots with sphagnum moss, expose the stems and leaves, and place them in a cool, well-ventilated place. After several days, the leaves and stems gradually wither and the nutrients there are transferred to the roots. At this time, you can eat the whole ingredient by cutting the stem and chewing the root. It takes about a month for nutrients from leaves and stems to move. If the leaves and stems are covered with moss together with the roots, they will rot, so be careful.

It can be divided into ginseng mined when the stems are fresh but only the leaves turn yellow, and ginseng mined when the leaves and stems are completely dry and fallen to the ground.

As it is a mature ginseng with the most faithful ingredients, it has excellent medicinal effects. It is best to eat this yellow ginseng raw.

*Difference between injection and administration

Unlike nutrients in general food, ginseng saponin or ginseng polysaccharide component is not easily absorbed in the stomach or small intestine. However, while passing through the stomach and intestines, the bacteria that live there break down the components of ginseng. This changed saponin is easily absorbed into our body.

As such, Korean ginseng transforms into excellent ginseng in our body, so it is best to eat ginseng through the mouth. If the same ingredient is injected, it cannot go through the process of decomposition and absorption, so the effect is inevitably reduced.

Some people do not have the ability to break down and transform in the body. For these people, it may not be effective at all or may be less effective. In this case, ginseng processed with strains in the human body can be used.
