Mountain ginseng is a plant that belongs to the Aralliacea and Panax. The scientific name is Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. The Greek word "Panax" a compound word for treating all illnesses, as the word “Pan” is "everything" and “Axos” is “healing, medicine". Since ancient times, ginseng has been treated as a supernatural or marvelous medicine and is sold at a very high price. You can imagine the medical status of wild ginseng in the past when medical technology was not developed. The cloning of somatic cells of wild ginseng, which was started at Chungbuk University in 1998, was created in Korea as a food product through the Korea Food and Drug Administration's safety verification in 2003.

To verify the efficacy of cultured mountain ginseng root, numerous joint experiments have been conducted since 2003 linked to famous colleges of medicine and pharmacy in Korea to prove that cultured wild ginseng root is more effective than ordinary ginseng. The efficacy may be only in the cultured mountain ginseng root with the high content of components(ginsenoside, acidic polysaccharide, etc.), for which the incubation technique are proven.
