Chinese herbal medicine ginseng is well known as a precious supplement, but if ginseng is not consumed properly, it can be life-threatening. However, ginseng can be safely consumed when used to make a drink like ginseng ginger honey wine, which is a great tonic for the body. In this article, I will teach you how to make ginseng ginger honey wine at home!

【Precautions】
1. Maintain a good daily routine and try to avoid staying up late.
2. Avoid eating spicy or stimulating foods.
3. Engage in outdoor activities and relax your mind.
4. Do not put too much pressure on yourself and learn to manage stress.
【How to Choose Ginseng】
1. Avoid selecting ginseng products that have deep grooves and are hard but not substantial.
Whether it's red ginseng or sun-dried ginseng, if it shows this phenomenon, there are two possibilities: either the ginseng is young, or the processing was not managed properly, causing the loss of sap and the appearance of grooves and shrinking. These products not only have greatly reduced nutritional value, but they also easily absorb moisture and become soft and moldy in humid environments.
2. Avoid selecting ginseng roots that are cracked or have small, broken, and dull appearances.
Cracked ginseng roots lead to the loss of sap, resulting in the loss of nutrients. For red ginseng, its nutritional value depends on the size and glossiness of the ginseng root. Therefore, when purchasing, it is important to choose products with larger ginseng roots, intact shapes, and a glossy appearance.
3. Pay attention to the packaging and labeling of the product.
Products that are sealed or vacuum-packed can prevent problems such as insect infestation, mold, and spoilage due to good isolation from the outside. Generally, products from reputable companies have complete labels and markings, so you can buy them with confidence.
