Red Ginseng Slices (Panax ginseng) — Changbai Mountain Dried Korean Red Ginseng Root Slices for Tea & Cooking

Red Ginseng Slices (Panax ginseng) are the steamed-and-dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hóng Shēn (红参), also called Korean Red Ginseng. For centuries, Hong Shen has been prized as a warming, qi-tonifying, and spirit-supporting herb, traditionally used to strengthen vitality, warm the middle, and support the body's constitutional energy. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and warm, making it a deeply nourishing herb for replenishing qi, warming yang, and supporting the Heart, Spleen, and Lung channels. These slices are sourced from Changbai Mountain, a region long celebrated for premium ginseng cultivation.
