The
efficacy of ginseng which has been proven
by modern medicine was much more mysterious
to ancient people, together with veiled
ingredients and its human shape.
It was actually used for blood nourishing
and as a tonic. At the same time it was
called a
cure-all and was believed to be a miraculous
medicine, a source of eternal youth.
In spite of Simmani's endeavor to find ginseng
in mountains, the growing demands for wild
ginseng could not be fulfilled. Due to the
acute shortage of wild ginseng, people eventually
started to sow ginseng seeds and cultivate
them.
That was 1000 years age from now. At first,
the seeds planted in the mountains.
However, the cultivation was very difficult,
for ginseng is a semi-shade plant particular
about soil and climate, its stems growing
in the shady place are very thin and weak
so
they can be easily attacked by insects and
blights, further, it is a perennial plan
growing
execptionally slow, compared to other plants.
Nevertheless, the steady research on cultivation
methods under the heaven-blessed
climate condition for ginseng enabled the
mass cultivation in the field in 1900's.
Then
the cultivation of ginseng began across
the country in Korea. |
