From the origin and growth period of ginseng, it is generally believed that wild ginseng has better efficacy than cultivated ginseng, and the curative effect of ginseng with a long age is stronger than that of ginseng with a short age. In addition, due to the influence of climatic environment and soil quality, the performance and efficacy of ginseng are also different.

Korean ginseng, Jilin red ginseng, Japanese red ginseng and red ginseng beard are hot, and are suitable for people with qi deficiency and yang deficiency, mainly suitable for the elderly and women with metrorrhagia, excessive blood loss or postoperative patients.

Jilin wild ginseng, white ginseng, oriental ginseng, sugar ginseng, etc. are mild in nature, and can be taken by anyone who is partial to yang deficiency and yin deficiency, and by anyone who has insufficient vitality and weak constitution.

Sun-dried ginseng, skin-tailed ginseng, white ginseng beard, etc. are cool in nature, and are suitable for people with yin deficiency and excessive fire, such as red tongue, dry mouth and throat, dizziness, tinnitus and constipation.
