高丽参:活力永葆 健康常在

Ginseng,a traditional herbal medicine

在韩国高丽时代（公元1918—1392年），人参被誉为灵丹妙药，被推崇为药材之王而名扬四海。从那个时代起，韩国就把人参称之为“高丽国家的人参”，即“高丽参”。

Ginseng is a root vegetable whose shape resembles the human body, and its name （pronounced ＂insam＂ in Korean） contains the Chinese characters for ＂man＂. Korean ginseng is also known by the names of Korea＇s last two royal dynasties： Goryeo and Joseon. Its scientific name is ＂Panax Ginseng C.A.Meyer,＂ panax being a composite term formed from the Greek words pan （all） and axos （medicine）, which also give us the English word ＂panacea＂. Although Korean ginseng belongs to the same botanical genus as the product grown in Japan, China, the U.S., and Russia, substantial differences in quality andefficacy have branded Korean ginseng as the best in the world.
