Price is not the issue. You buy based on the medicinal qualities of different types of ginseng.
1. 人蔘 (Chinese ginseng) – heaty. Good for rheumatism, chronic infections, asthenia
2. 西洋蔘 (American ginseng) – cooling. Good for acute infections, high fever, stress-related conditions
3. 高丽蔘 (Korean ginseng) – intermediate
All ginsengs boost the immune system, stimulate the central nervous system, have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant/cancer properties. Asian ginseng have better cholesterol-lowering and neuroprotective effects than American ginseng.
The best Chinese ginseng is found in the wild in the Changbaishan mountains of Jilin, China. It is very rare and therefore the most expensive.
