Ginseng is a perennial herb, and likes cool and humid climate. It mostly grows in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests or miscellaneous forests on gentle slopes at an altitude of 500 ~ 1 100 meters or on slopes with small temperature difference between day and night. Because the root is fat, spindle-shaped, and often bifurcated, the whole picture is quite similar to human head, hands, feet and limbs, so it is called ginseng. The ancient ginseng was nicknamed Polygonatum sibiricum, Goblin and Shencao. Ginseng is known as the "King of Herbs" and is one of the famous "Three Treasures in Northeast China" (ginseng, mink and velvet antler). It is a precious medicinal material that is well-known at home and abroad and is known to all ages.
Ginseng in Changbai Mountain can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Wild ginseng
Wild ginseng is one of the natural treasures bred by Changbai ginseng. It grows in virgin forests at an altitude of1500m to 2000m. It is the first of the three treasures in Northeast China. It has the effects of nourishing the five internal organs, calming the heart, calming the nerves, relieving convulsions, eliminating pathogenic factors, improving eyesight, benefiting emotions and improving intelligence, and prolonging life after long-term administration. Wild ginseng has been used in China for thousands of years, and it is becoming increasingly rare. It is a rare natural green tonic. Wild ginseng has high requirements on the growth environment. It is afraid of heat, drought and sun, the soil is loose and fertile, and the air is moist and cool. Therefore, it mostly grows in the coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest at an altitude of 500 ~ 1000 meters in Changbai Mountain. Every July and August is the flowering season of ginseng, and purple and white flowers bear bright red berries, which is very attractive. Wild ginseng grows slowly in the deep mountains. The roots of wild ginseng in 60 ~ 100 years often weigh only tens of grams.
Ginseng is difficult to collect and its market price is high, but its medicinal value is high. Wild ginseng is the most effective ginseng. The bigger and longer it is, the better its efficacy is. Because of its rare output and remarkable nourishing effect, it enjoys a high reputation in the world and is known as "the fairy grass coming back to life". It is especially suitable for physical weakness, cold limbs and weak pulse, postpartum nourishing and postoperative recovery.
