“When the body is fatigued, take ginseng. It replenishes your energy and clears your mind.” – Summary of ginseng's role in the Dongui Bogam (1613)

“Ginseng is the king of all medicinal herbs—it carries the essence of heaven within its root.”– Philosophical interpretation based on the legacy of Heo Jun, Joseon-era royal physician

Who Was Heo Jun? What Is the Dongui Bogam?

Heo Jun (1539–1615) was a royal physician during Korea’s Joseon Dynasty, best known for authoring the Dongui Bogam (동의보감)—an encyclopedic medical text that remains one of Asia's most influential traditional medicine books.

Commissioned by King Seonjo and published in 1613, Dongui Bogam means “Mirror of Eastern Medicine.” The book compiles centuries of Korean, Chinese, and personal medical knowledge into a practical guide to healing. Within it, ginseng is featured prominently as a vital herb that nourishes Qi (life energy), boosts stamina, calms the mind, and strengthens internal organs.

Heo Jun’s work emphasized balancing the body and mind, and saw ginseng as a precious gift from nature to achieve that harmony.

Red Ginseng vs. Black Ginseng

Unveiling the Differences in Quality and Benefits
1. Manufacturing Process

Red Ginseng:
Red ginseng is made by steaming and drying fresh ginseng (called white ginseng). This process turns the ginseng root red and increases the concentration of saponins and antioxidants. Typically, 6-year-old ginseng is used for red ginseng, which is known for its health-boosting properties due to the concentration of active compounds that are retained during the processing.

Black Ginseng:
Black ginseng undergoes a more complex manufacturing process than red ginseng. The ginseng root is steamed and dried nine times, a process that gradually turns it a dark brown or black color while further enhancing the concentration of active compounds. This repeated steaming process gives black ginseng its unique flavor and aroma, as well as a higher concentration of beneficial compounds.

Red Ginseng:
Red ginseng is rich in saponins, particularly ginsenosides like Rg1 and Rb1, which are known for boosting the immune system, reducing fatigue, and alleviating stress. Additionally, red ginseng helps improve blood circulation, cognitive function, and provides antioxidant effects, making it a versatile supplement for overall health.

Black Ginseng:
Black ginseng contains a wider variety and higher concentration of saponins compared to red ginseng. It is especially rich in ginsenosides such as Rh2 and Rg3, which have strong anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects. The intensified active compounds in black ginseng offer a more potent health-boosting effect compared to red ginseng.

Red Ginseng:
Red ginseng is known for its characteristic bittersweet taste. This flavor results from the natural sugars and saponins that develop during the steaming process. The taste of red ginseng is familiar to many and is commonly enjoyed in various forms such as tea, capsules, and extracts.

Black Ginseng:
Black ginseng has a richer, more robust taste due to the repeated steaming process. It is less bitter and has a nutty flavor compared to red ginseng. The deep, complex flavor of black ginseng is often associated with a premium experience, making it a luxurious choice for those seeking both health benefits and a refined taste.

Red Ginseng:
Red ginseng is renowned for its general health-boosting properties. It helps enhance energy levels, improve immune function, reduce stress, and promote overall vitality. Red ginseng is particularly popular for its ability to improve circulation and support cognitive function, making it a go-to choice for those seeking to improve mental clarity and physical stamina.

Black Ginseng:
Black ginseng offers more specialized health benefits due to its higher concentration of certain ginsenosides. It has potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it highly effective in reducing chronic inflammation. Additionally, black ginseng is known for its anti-cancer properties, as certain compounds in black ginseng have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It also provides strong anti-aging effects and is often used to improve skin health and longevity.

Red Ginseng:
Red ginseng is perfect for those looking to maintain their general health, boost energy levels, and reduce stress. Whether you’re new to herbal supplements or simply seeking a versatile wellness product, red ginseng offers a range of benefits suitable for everyday use. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their immune system, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

Black Ginseng:
Black ginseng is ideal if you’re looking for something more powerful. With higher concentrations of active compounds, black ginseng is particularly beneficial for addressing specific health concerns like inflammation, aging, and more. If you’re experienced with herbal remedies and want a premium product with potent benefits, black ginseng is the right choice for you.
