The earliest record of the sâm hàn quốc chính hãng process of steaming ginseng for medicinal purposes dates from about 100 y ago in the SohoDang miscellany by Taekyoung Kim (1850-1927). The process described then was similar to that now practiced: the ginseng was grown for > 6 y, its dirt shaken off and rinsed. It was then steamed in a large steamer for 1 h. After being steamed, the roots were dried on bamboo racks for about 4-5 d. The resulting ginseng was then called red ginseng.

During the drying process, the ginseng was exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, which causes the amino sugars in the ginseng to undergo chemical changes that transform them to several flavor compounds, such as pyridines, pyrazines, pyrroles, and furanones. This is what gives ginseng its characteristic flavor and aroma.

In addition to its ginsenosides, the ginseng root also contains many other compounds that have been studied for their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Other uses of ginseng include helping people cope with stress, and it may be helpful in improving memory and thinking skills. It has also been used to treat erectile dysfunction in men and a recent study of women who are experiencing menopausal symptoms found that ginseng berry extract reduced the severity of these symptoms.
