Ginseng (人蔘) : A root that resembles humans
- The root was called “ginseng” because its shape resembled a human being.
- It has been spotlighted since a long time ago as an herbal plant for restoring strength and vitality.
- The sixth-year is the time when the active components become the most abundant, but the survival rate between the fourth and sixth years is low, so six-year-old ginseng is considered the most valuable.
- Ginseng is cultivated in different areas in the world, but Korean Ginseng was a particularly popular export around the world from as early as the Three Kingdoms period because it contained many beneficial components.
