Korean Ginseng

What to buy: Korean ginseng has a very high reputation as an energy booster. It's also a very expensive herbal medicine. It takes a full 6 years to grow a 'ginseng' and another 20 years before the ginseng farm is ready for ginseng plantation again. This is because ginseng will absorb all the essence from the ground. And therefore, the price of ginseng is relatively very high.

What to pay: High price!
