ITEM	ITEM DESCRIPTION	ORDER DETAILS
Click on image for larger view	Red Panax Ginseng is traditionally produced by an ancient process in which the natural sugars are caramelized during the drying. This method of curing gives it its deep red color; all ginseng is naturally white. In modern times this same effect is achieved by steaming the dried roots. No chemicals or artificial additives are used in producing Red Ginseng. The process activates certain ginsenosides causing them to reach a very high degree of potency. Red ginseng was historically reserved for the royal families, usage by others was often banned by law. The ginseng roots used for producing Red Ginseng are typically harvested after 6 to 6 1/2 years. 1/4 lb $30.00 1/2 lb $60.00 1 lb $120.00 - FREE Slicing Is Highly Recommended -	Weight 1/4 lb $30.00 1/2 lb $60.00 1 lb $120.00 Free Root Slicing Yes, slice my roots No, do not slice my roots Instructions on general usage, how to consume the roots, and how to make ginseng tea are included with each order!

Korean Red Panax Ginseng Root - Heaven Grade, Canned

ITEM	ITEM DESCRIPTION & ORDER DETAIL
600 Grams Click on image for larger view 300 Grams Click on image for larger view 150 Grams Click on image for larger view	6 Year Old Korean Red Ginseng - Heaven Grade, the highest grade given to Korean Red Ginseng. 15 Root and 20 Root cans in three different sizes are available. This is among the most highly prized red ginseng, imported from Korea. Red ginseng was historically reserved for the royal families, usage by others was often banned by law. Red Ginseng is very "yang" and is widely valued for imparting energy, increasing sexual virility, and promoting a long life span. Traditionally, red ginseng is produced by an ancient process in which the natural sugars are caramelized during the drying. This method of curing gives it its deep red color; all ginseng is naturally white. In modern times this same effect of turning natural white ginseng into red ginseng is achieved by steaming the roots. No chemicals or artificial additives are used in producing red ginseng. The process activates certain ginsenosides to a very high degree, making some changes in their chemical structure to create whole new ginsenosides of still greater potency. Executed properly, the curing process turns the entire root dark red inside and out. The roots are then thoroughly dried. Be careful about "great buys" for this item. Real Korean red ginseng of "Heaven" grade is not easily found or bargain priced. There are some forgeries and knockoffs coming out of Asia using inferior roots that are only of lower grades such as "Earth", "Good", or "Cut", and are not the highly valued "Heaven" grade roots.

Additional Information on Ginseng:     Ginseng is native to both Asia (Panax Ginseng) and North America (Panax Quinquefolius). American ginseng contains roughly twice the number of active ginsenosides as asian ginseng.     Ginseng root has been sold in dried form for thousands of years, and to this day the overwhelming majority of ginseng root is sold dried. Ginseng extracts are generally made from Red Ginseng. All ginseng is naturally white, but when dried or steamed a certain way it creates Red Ginseng during the curing process.     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 Daniel Boone was a "shang" or "sang" hunter who made considerable money harvesting wild ginseng 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.     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!
