Blade Runner

How about including the section Popular Culture mentioning that, in Blade Runner, Deckard orders ginseng to relieve stress from having killed a replicant — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.54.221.157 (talk) 05:49, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, merge it

It's a fairly short article. But the thing is you would have to merge the medicial benefits with the main "ginseng" article. Problem with this is that Korean ginseng purportedly has different medical effects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyattherb (talk • contribs) 13:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge which article?--Mr Fink (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sun ginseng?

Removed from article for discussion/editing if of interest. --Zefr (talk) 00:09, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sun ginseng is created from a heat processing method which increases ginsenoside components such as ginsenoside-[Rg.sub.3], -[Rk.sub.1] and -[Rg.sub.5] by steaming white ginseng at a higher temperature than red ginseng. The herb is steamed for three hours at 120 °C (248 °F). Sun ginseng has increased nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite scavenging activities compared with conventionally processed red or white versions. The increased steaming temperature produces an optimal amount of biological activity due to its ability to amplify specific ginsenosides.^{[citation needed]}
