Does your friend know what is the difference between American ginseng and wild ginseng? Can you tell me?

The main reason is that the origin is different. Wild ginseng generally refers to non-artificially grown ginseng produced in Northeast China.

American ginseng is produced in North Korea and North America. Ginseng was first imported from North Korea. It is basically the same thing as Northeastern ginseng, but the processing methods are slightly different. Later, ginseng was discovered in North America and ignored by the locals. It was regarded as Korean ginseng (Korean ginseng) and sold to China to make money. Because the production suddenly increased, it attracted the attention of the pharmaceutical industry, so they named it American ginseng, and the price was lower than that produced locally. It is also lower than Korean ginseng. Today these American ginseng origins are basically on American Indian reservations. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are differences in medicinal properties, but conventional scientific tests show that there is not much difference. There are a lot of artificially grown ginseng on the market now, some of which are fake, and it is difficult for non-experienced experts to tell the difference. Artificially grown ones tend to be good in appearance, large in size but bland in taste, so it’s hard to tell clearly without comparison.
