Red ginseng is a type of ginseng that has been steamed and dried, giving it a reddish-brown color. It is often used in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asia, for its believed health benefits. Red ginseng is thought to boost energy, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall well-being. It is also known for its potential to support immune function and reduce stress. The root of the ginseng plant is typically harvested after six years of growth, and the steaming process is said to enhance its active compounds, known as ginsenosides. Red ginseng can be consumed in various forms, including teas, capsules, and extracts. It has a slightly bitter taste and is often combined with other herbs to balance its flavor.
