It boosts sexual potency. Its price rivals gold

Experts stated that red ginseng, which grows naturally in high-altitude areas in China and Korea, draws attention for its aphrodisiac and mind-sharpening properties.

The plant, which is said to be a raw material for many medicines due to its benefits to human health, fetches high prices because it takes 4 years to grow and is rarely found. 

However, if consumed in excess, ginseng does more harm than good. Medical aromatic plants expert Sefa Korkmaz stated that the ginseng plant has cell-regenerating properties and said, “Ginseng generally comes to our country from Korea. 

It is an imported product, a valuable item collected from the roots of aged trees in Korea. It is obtained by taking the entire root, which contains the minerals found within the ginseng tree in a single point. It is a product that provides body resistance and also has cell-regenerating properties,” he said.

"IT IS SOLD BY THE GRAM. IT COSTS 5 THOUSAND LIRA PER KILO"

Korkmaz stated that they sell ginseng by the gram because it is expensive, saying, "Ginseng can be used as capsules, powder, and paste for overall body resistance. Ginseng is a valuable product in root format. It can also be easily used as individual pieces. Ginseng has cell-regenerating properties in the body. It also increases the body's resistance structure. It is among the products we sell as a dietary supplement. 

Because it is expensive, ginseng purchases are rare. It is consumed more as a paste, that is, mixed with honey. In workplaces, the capsule form is preferred because it is easier to use. The current price of ginseng is 5 thousand TL per kilogram. Compared to last year, it has become very difficult to supply. We are having trouble with supply because its areas of use have also expanded. 

Ginseng generally comes from Korea. It is known as the primary root that collects minerals found in aged tree roots. It needs to be collected after the minerals that have accumulated in the soil over the years have fossilized. This is how its supply is realized. It can be used by those aged 5 and over. However, because it has a high protein content in terms of resistance, we do not recommend it for those with diabetes or cholesterol problems to use it in excess. Since the demand and price of ginseng are high, the product is also available in powder form. 

Here, our recommendation is to use ginseng ground by the herbalists themselves. Because it is an expensive product open to adulteration, the person needs to see it and have it ground personally.

Since ginseng is used daily for body resistance, when consumed in excess, it can inevitably be used as a resistance booster in the body. It is also used with supplement products. Ginseng also has cell-regenerating and skin-tightening properties as a cosmetic ingredient. When used with coconut oil, it has both a peeling effect and a skin-brightening property,” he said.
