[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic shows no signs of resolution, 'Hamyang Wild Ginseng,' which continues the legacy of wild ginseng (Korean ginseng) long known as a panacea, is receiving renewed attention.

RNA viruses such as influenza and coronaviruses, which have spread worldwide, undergo various mutations, making them difficult to treat with current medicines. Interest in health and the importance of immunity are expected to continue to be emphasized.

The pharmacological effects of ginseng (蔘) have been known for thousands of years, but with the recent increased interest in immunity, it is gaining attention once again.

Recently, significant research results on the effects of saponins on respiratory virus immunity have emerged, highlighting ginseng as an effective health food for respiratory diseases.

The active components of ginseng are complex carbohydrates called saponins or ginsenosides, and even within the same species of plant, the pattern of saponin content can vary depending on the cultivation environment.

Hamyang Wild Ginseng is known to grow in excellent cultivation environments at altitudes above 500 meters, with firm and dense tissue and high saponin content.

Accordingly, the county plans to widely promote the excellence and pride of Hamyang Wild Ginseng to the world through various programs such as exhibitions, events, experiences, and academic conferences related to wild ginseng at the 2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo, thereby solidifying its pride as the ancestral home of Korean ginseng.

A county official stated, “In this unprecedented era where countless people suffer from viruses, we hope many people will consume the highly immune-boosting health food Hamyang Wild Ginseng and overcome COVID-19.”
