Woodsgrown Cultivated Ginseng is a variety that looks very much like natural wild ginseng. It is also sometimes described as "Forest Grown". Many purists feel that ginseng, named after the chinese word for Man-Root (Ren Shen), should look like a human figure. The more strongly it resembled a human figure the greater value it was given for strength and efficacy. Woodsgrown Cultivated Ginseng and Wild-Simulated Ginseng restore that aesthetic ideal, giving ginseng root the classic look and coloring of natural wild ginseng, and possessing a greater potency due to the higher levels of active ginsenosides than most cultivated ginseng. Woodsgrown-cultivated ginseng is typically harvested during its 9th or 10th year of growth, and woodsgrown is left in the ground to grow for as much as twice the number of years of field-cultivated ginseng.

Additional Information on Ginseng:Ginseng is native to both Asia (Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer) and North America (Panax Ginseng Quinquefolius). Ginseng root has been sold dried for thousands of years, and to this day most ginseng root is sold dried. It is often used for tea, but is also widely ingested as a component in a great many cooked dishes.Ginseng extracts are generally made from red ginseng. It should be noted that all ginseng is naturally white, or cream colored, but when dried or steamed a certain way it causes a profound color change to red ginseng, and some potent enhancements to several of the principal active ginsenocides. The ginseng plant was discovered growing in North America in 1716 by a Jesuit priest who was aided in his search by the Iroquois, who already had a long familiarity with the plant. It has been commercially harvested in North America since the mid 1700's; Gorge Washington is reported to have been involved in the ginseng business and early attempts at its cultivation, and Daniel Boone was a "sang hunter" who made considerable money harvesting wild ginseng roots for later sale. Shortly after its discovery American Ginseng became highly prized in Asia. Approximately 90% of all American Ginseng, about half a million pounds annually according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (www.fws.gov), is still exported to asian markets, most of it by way of Hong Kong. All exports of both cultivated and wild ginseng require a permit issued by the Fish and Wildlfe Service. Its use in traditional chinese medicine dates back thousands of years. It is likely its use among native Americans has a similarly long history, and ginseng was often chewed by native Americans to maintain strength during periods of intense physical activity. American ginseng in particular has a cooling effect on the body, and would be of great aid in fighting off excess heat while working or running long distances. It is essentially used as an adaptogen to restore homeostasis, balancing out the body's chemistry. This ability to restore balance makes it valued as a cure all. The name for asian ginseng, Panax Ginseng, is made up of two parts. The first word, Panax, is the greek word for "panacea" or "cure all", meaning it cures all ills. The second word, Ginseng, comes from the chinese word Ren Shen, or man-root. Rg1, one of the principle ginsenosides found in ginseng, has been shown to aid in the production of T-helper cells thereby boosting the body's immunity. The strengthening effect of ginseng is traditionally credited for increasing all aspects of health, including sexual potency and lifespan. American ginseng, Panax Quinquefolius, is even more highly valued for its long-term adaptogenic qualities. American ginseng is considered more "yin", making it suitable for regular use; while asian ginseng is considered more "yang", and generally used for shorter periods of treatment. Cultivated American Ginseng is usually harvested at between 4 to 6 years of age. Woodsgrown Wild-Simulated American Ginseng is generally harvested at between 8-10 years of age. Some cultivated Ginseng can still be harvested after that time, but the root has a tendency to become "wooden" and for the ginsenosides to degrade if left in the ground for too long beyond that. Interestingly, this does not happen with natural wild ginseng, and viable wild ginseng roots as old as 100 years have been found, although such a root would be extremely rare and very valuable. Due to over harvesting in both America and Asia wild ginseng has become very scarce, and its harvesting is now highly regulated by law. Most ginseng sold in modern times is cultivated. If you live in an area where wild ginseng grows and want to go "ginseng hunting", be sure to check your local laws to avoid steep fines and other legal penalties for unlicensed harvesting, in some cases even while still on your own property! |
