Growing and Processing Bing Han Ginseng

Ideal Environment 

Bing Han's Ginseng roots are cultivated on the company's own 4000-acre ginseng farm high in the Changbai Mountain region of Northern China. This rural region is renowned for its unique micro-climate and soil conditions which provide the ideal moisture, soil type and growing conditions for premium quality ginseng. 

Six Years to Harvest 

On the Bing Han Ginseng Farm, ginseng roots are nurtured and allowed to grow for six full years to reach optimal maturity. This long, natural growing process helps to develop and concentrate the many active constituents and phytochemicals found in ginseng root.

Whole Root Ginseng

Unlike other manufacturers who only use certain parts of the ginseng roots, Bing Han uses the whole, natural root including the “heads”, “skin”, and “beard.” These parts of the root contain some of the most active components (including ginsenoside and organic germanium) responsible for the unique qualities found in ginseng.

There are absolutely no fillers or adulterant herbs added to our product.

Sustainable Growing Practices

Unlike many ginseng companies who buy their ginseng roots on the open market, at Bing Han, we grow our own, in our own controlled fields, under strict growing conditions. No pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers are used throughout the whole six years that it takes to produce truly health-promoting ginseng roots.

Since ginseng roots absorb vital nutrients from the soil, our growing fields lie fallow for many years between plantings. This helps to regenerate and rest the soil, giving it ample time to regain fertility.

Low Temperature Drying

After carefully tending and harvesting our mature ginseng roots, our ginseng is taken to our own GMP and ISO certified processing plants in Taiwan where we use a low-temperature drying process designed to keep our ginseng natural and unadulterated. This drying method helps preserve the natural active agents.

Fine Powder Grinding 

Bing Han Ginseng is ground into fine powder for maximum assimilation by the body. Mixed with warm water and shaken until frothy, our Panax Ginseng provides an instant dose of stress-fighting ginsenosides

Nothing Added. Nothing Taken Away

Bing Han Ginseng is made entirely from 100% pure, finely powdered whole Panax Ginseng roots. Unlike red ginseng products, Bing Han Panax Ginseng has nothing added and nothing taken away. You’ll taste and feel the difference.

The History & Lore of Ginseng

Royal Root

More precious than gold to ancient Chinese emperors, historical records indicate that Panax ginseng has been in use by royals since long before the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). Treasured and revered for its almost mythical power to bring health, virility and long life, its use was forbidden to all but royalty - sometimes by penalty of death.

Traditional Uses

Long before scientists began to study ginseng, the traditional healers and herbalists of China study and recorded the effects of using Panax ginseng. Ancient medical texts describe ginseng in nearly magical terms. These records refer to ginseng in this way: “Ginseng calms the mind, brings harmony to the soul, eliminates fears, and drives away evil spirits. It also makes the eyes shine, opens the heart, and clarifies thinking. If taken long enough, it strengthens the body and extends life.” Panax ginseng's historical role as an aphrodisiac is still greatly appreciated today.

Most Famous Herb

Looking very much like the form of a human body, it is no wonder that the Chinese name for ginseng is “ren-shen” which roughly translated means "man-root."  This remarkably beautiful and unique plant has long been distinguished as China's most famous herb. With more than 11,000 different herbs recorded for use in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, ginseng was and still is considered the “king” of all Chinese herbs.

How Panax got its Name

Linnaeus, the father of modern botany, assigned the genus name “Panax” (a Greek word  translated as "all-heal") to Chinese  ginseng because he was well aware of its vast and varied use in Chinese herbalism.

Nature's Timeless Tonic

Some traditions are just too perfect to change.  Like taking ginseng.

For literally thousands of years Panax ginseng use has been a foundation of Chinese health care traditions. In recent years, this prized herb has made its way to the Western world where its role as a timeless tonic continues.

The word tonic originates from a Greek word meaning "stretch." Indeed, a true tonic, such as Panax ginseng stretches, tones, strengthens, and invigorates the body's natural healing system the way physical exercise tones muscles.

It is still revered today, all around the world,  for its seemingly endless power to make and keep us well. 

All of us.  Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit

Ginseng. For the Whole Person.

A holistic support system for the whole person

Traditional Chinese Herbal practitioners understand and respect the importance of supporting the health of the whole person. In Chinese and other holistic approaches to health care, there is no distinct separation of body, mind and spirit. They are inseparably linked together. This connectedness means that the health of one aspect affects the health of the whole. Panax ginseng is renowned and revered for its ability to provide a continuous, all-systems tune-up for the whole person. This ancient elixir, once only available to the most wealthy and powerful, is a timeless tonic treasured for its gift of energy, health and longevity.

The Great Adaptogen

Panax ginseng's adaptogenic, energizing and restoring nature

Adapting to the many changes in life with minimal stress response is one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves.  At the same time that ginseng adapts to serve our particular health needs, it is helping us to adapt to the physical, mental and emotional stresses of our daily lives. It does this by regulating and modulating our body's internal response mechanisms. The adaptogens in ginseng also support immune health, enabling us to overcome challenges to our immune system. These adaptogenic agents are powerful, yet gentle, internal and multi-system regulators that function to bring the body into a state of balance. This natural balancing process allows and encourages health restoration and well being.

Mother Nature's “Panacea”  

Panax ginseng is many things to many people. It is an energizer, a health supporter, occasional stress reducer, a brain tonic and much more. How can taking this universal herbal supplement satisfy the diverse health needs of so many different people?  Some of the answer to this question lie simply in better understanding the nature of Panax ginseng.  In fact, the very word Panax originates from the Greek word “panacea” and refers to ginseng's supportive role for all health problems. Ginseng's well-earned reputation comes from both its historical, empirical evidence and its scientifically keep studies on file verified adaptogenic qualities. Panax ginseng has been shown to literally adapt to the individual's health needs.

Ginseng's Active Agents

Ginseng's effectiveness can not be traced to only one particular active agent or constituent. It is the complex relationship between the many naturally occurring agents  that gives ginseng its special properties. The most commonly studied active components of ginseng, however, include a family of saponins called ginsenosides. 

Saponins

The word saponins comes from the Latin word (sapo) meaning soap. Indeed the frothiness that occurs when Bing Han Ginseng and water are mixed together and well-shaken is an indication of the presence of saponins.  The plant kingdom is rich in saponins, which act as critical defenders for the plants immune system.

Ginsenosides

Ginsenosides are the special type of saponins found in mature Panax ginseng roots.

There are more than 20 ginsenosides that have been discovered in ginseng.  The highest concentrations of ginsenosides are found in the smaller size roots and root fiber. This is one of the reasons that Bing Han Ginseng powder is always made from the whole dried root including all the delicate little root tendrils. These cell protective substances have been found to have a wide range of health-promoting effects.

Panaxdioles & Panaxtrioles

A bioactive subgroup found within ginsenosides, panaxdioles and panaxtrioles  These substances are thought to exert positive, modulating effects on the central nervous system.
