立秋乾燥養眼睛
立秋至，涼風起，露降蟬鳴遍地黃，雖然時序入秋，但仍屬於盛夏季節，尤其是秋老虎一發威，熱起來要人命，所以此時，立秋養生尤為重要。由於立秋是由陽轉陰的轉折點，所以保養要以「養收」為原則，也就是要開始漸漸養陰。由於立秋氣候漸漸乾燥，容易氣燥傷肺，同時也該注意肌膚的滋潤與眼睛的保養潤燥。養陰，潤肺，名目為其保養的重點。
養生食譜—-花旗參枸杞菊花飲
菊花對眼睛疲勞視力模糊有很好的療效，枸杞則含豐富的維生素A，是一種溫和的護眼食材。搭配花旗參補氣培元的特性，功效加倍，堪稱消暑明目的升級版。將花旗參茶袋一包或參片四片（約3克），加入枸杞3克與菊花2克，放入保溫瓶用熱水燜個10分鐘，就是最好的立秋明目茶。

Hsu’s Root to Health introduces the Cordy-V, a new supplement product line made from Cordyceps mushrooms, in an easy to take caplet form.
The Cordyceps is known to form on the body of a caterpillar, harvested typically in the highlands of China. For multiple generations, people have followed the Chinese and Tibetan tradition using this mushroom for its benefits *
The Cordy King line from Hsu’s Root to Health uses a cultivated lab-grown Cordyceps that is similar to a wild Cordyceps. This product also features an essential B vitamin set of B1 (50mg), B2 (50mg), B6 (50mg) in additional to royal jelly. To see other Hsu’s Root to Health products Click Here.
The cultivated lab-grown Cordyceps which is similar to the wild one can now be found in the form of a caplet in a new product from Hsu’s Root to Health.

很多人以為「蟲草」即是「冬蟲夏草」，其實兩者大有不同。蟲草泛指真菌寄生於昆蟲幼蟲上形成的菌蟲複合體，目前被發現的蟲草品種約五百多個，其中只有一種叫「冬蟲夏草」，特指真菌—-蟲草菌寄生到特定的昆蟲—-蝙蝠蛾幼蟲身上的複合體，被載與《中國藥典》內，功能主治寫到补肺益肾，止血化痰，屬於非常珍貴的中藥材。冬蟲夏草蟲體完整，蟲體表面深黃色至黃棕色，八對足，質脆，易折斷，子座（菌身）表面深棕色至棕褐色，上部稍膨大，質柔韌，子座與蟲體相連。除了從外表來鑒別「冬蟲夏草」，《中國藥典》還以腺苷含量為鑒定冬蟲夏草的標準，必須不少於0.01%。
『許氏蟲草皇』中選用的高品質冬蟲夏草菌體粉，是從來自青海、西藏一帶的野生冬蟲夏草中分離出菌種，再經由生物科技液態培養技術得到的，腺苷含量達0.16%以上，大大超出《中國藥典》所規定的標準。給父親滋補，當選『許氏蟲草皇』！入肺下腎強精力！*
遠在中國三千年以前，靈芝就被奉為上藥，大家對靈芝一定不陌生，而且都習慣地認為天然的靈芝比人工栽培的靈芝作用更好。但事實不一定如認知的一樣。靈芝是一年生藥材，始於春季，生長於夏天，至秋天其生長就完成了，也就是說，這時候的營養成分最高。
一般採集到的野生靈芝拿到的靈芝子實體，難以控制其生長年份，而超過一年的生長期會使靈芝早已木質化。變成木頭的靈芝，營養成份自然減少甚至殆盡。而且野生靈芝容易長黴菌，其第二代謝產物的毒素容易殘留，品質不可控制。
相對於人工栽培的靈芝，經過多年來專家們的研究發現，靈芝子實體的人工栽培以椴木仿野生栽培法為最佳。不僅可有效控制靈芝菌種及生長過程，並搭配嚴格的溫度、溼度、氧氣、光線量的科學管理，可使其達到最接近野生靈芝的成份及品質。
許氏日本靈芝的原料就是取自生長於大椴木栽培的靈芝子實體，在孢子尚未噴出，子實體達到營養顛峯之最佳採收時機收成，採用百分百全子實體專利破碎技術，使孢子、菌絲體、及子實體所含之養分完全保留，純正高品質，讓您用得安心！
產品採用高品質長野靈芝粉為原料，另外添加由日本醫學博士Dr. Lee專利提取技術而得的靈芝萃取粉（有效成分濃度提高10倍），富含全靈芝實體及高濃縮純粹提取精華，其活性成份靈芝酸、多醣體得以完整保存及發揮作用，是補益五臟之氣、扶正固本、益壽延年的保健珍品。*
国画大师关瑞之先生从去年开始研究花旗参的写意表达已有一年的时间，可其对于花旗参的了解多半在于人工种植的干参以及野参，对于5月出土的春参了解甚少；承蒙许氏参业集团的邀请，关先生有机会第一次见证整个春参采收的过程。在短短的两天行程中，参悟国画理论家石涛大和尚在他的国画理论专著《苦瓜和尚画语录》中论述过国画创意中生活与蒙养的关系。
关先生对于花旗参的感悟与许氏将文化融入“参”活之中的理念是完美契合的，关先生渊博的国学知识也将为花旗参的文化传播画龙点睛；关瑞之先生将会以此次春参作为材料，自中国文化3000年以来，史上第一人把花旗参当作素材画入国画。关先生也将以”天、地、人”的概念，将花旗参融入自然和中国文化当中，並和许氏合作，制作2019年许氏月历画籍。
关瑞之先生这次除了参访许氏六年生春参体验挖参乐趣外，同时也参访了威斯康辛州北纬45 度线地标，证明了许氏威州花旗参是100%威州正宗地道，并出产于最适合花旗参生长的北纬45度区域。关先生同时也参访了和许氏合作的沃沙市 Bull Falls 啤酒厂，并畅饮了特制的”许氏花旗参啤酒”。关先生强调花旗参啤酒让他印象非常深刻，是个能将花旗参融入日常生活的好产品。
许氏参业集团也期待关先生能在今后的国画作品中，将花旗参作为创作意象，笔墨之间，写意人“参”。
两千多年来，灵芝在中国医学界一直占有举足轻重的地位，也是最吉祥珍贵的调理滋补类药材。在中国古代有神农尝百草的传说，《神农本草经》、《神农四经》把灵芝奉为『仙草』，有道『久食轻身不老、延年神仙』。
地处富士山脚下，山明水秀、物产丰饶的日本信卅长野县是日本最著名的水果，菇菌类产品的生产基地，也是日本灵芝的故乡。这里有一家受到全日本、甚至全世界消费者推崇的灵芝生产基地—-日本灵芝综合研究所，其社长药学博士井出万喜拥有超过30年的灵芝培育经验，其研究所培育的日本灵芝多年蝉联日本销售冠军。
人类运用灵芝的历史经验及大量的学术研究的记载都是灵芝子实体。培育灵芝相当不易，经过多年专家的研究后发现：灵芝子实体的人工栽培以椴木仿野生栽培法为最佳。日本灵芝总合研究所拥有最早及最先进的菌种及技术，所选用的纯正质优、活力强盛的日本『长野1号』特殊菌种，再以经消毒处理的有机NANA原木栽培，引流经过滤的高山雪融之水用于灌溉，加以严格科学管理温度、湿度、氧气、光线量，可生长出菌伞大、厚身，高多糖、高三萜，无杂菌，无污染，无农残，无重金属之珍贵灵芝。
据文献报导,保持有效成份的破壁灵芝孢子的活性比灵芝和未破壁灵芝孢子高75倍。日本灵芝总合研究所使用自家申请的日本专利特许（番号NO. 1466395），灵芝孢子壁冷冻破壁技术应用在整个子实体上，也就是“一物全体”的观念，在孢子尚未喷出，子实体达到营养颠峰之最佳采收时机收成，经冷冻破碎，使孢子，菌丝体，子实体所含之养分完全保留。

产品采用高品质长野灵芝粉为原料，另外添加由日本医学博士Dr. Lee专利提取技术而得的灵芝萃取粉（有效成分浓度提高10倍），富含全灵芝实体及高浓缩纯粹提取精华，其活性成份灵芝酸、多糖体得以完整保存及发挥作用，是补益五脏之气、扶正固本、益寿延年的保健珍品。
If you have been following us for awhile, you already know that our Ginseng business started in 1974 by Paul Hsu.
However, ginseng itself has been around for thousands of years and has its a really deep history in Chinese Culture.

Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
#1 – Land – Look for land with a slight slope, make sure that ginseng has not been grown on this land before. “45th parallel is where we grow ginseng at Hsu’s”. We are constantly on the lookout for parcel’s of property to rent or lease.
This map shows shows what typical plots of land in Marathon County look like. Highlighted in Orange, ginseng fields can be found by their black shade covering.
#2 – Soil Preparation – Raise the beds in mounds, will allow for tractors to access the fields. Beds being raised up in mounds will also help prevent roots from disease such as root rot etc
Tractors have come through to raise the beds and hay has been laid down for additional protection in the Spring
#3 – Seed – Seed is stratified for one year (helps with germination rate/success of crop coming up), placed in the ginseng field (beds/mounds) with a tractor.
Word of the day: “Stratified” – (verb) – to place (seeds) close together in layers in moist sand or peat to preserve them or to help them germinate.
#4 – Shade Structure – 65 percent shade with wooden racks/70 percent shade with tarps. Helps keep ginseng plants alive, as they need shade in order to survive. Shade structure is held up by adding 9 foot high posts in garden which help keep the tarp/racks up.
This photo is a great example of how the shade fabric gets put up, however, this photo was actually taken from 2010, when a large summer storm knocked down most of the shade fabric from our ginseng gardens.
#5 – Weeding – Weeding is done multiple times a year. Everything is weeded by hand to help eliminate some of the undergrowth/weeds which cam effect how the ginseng is grown.
#6 – Collect Seeds – Seeds are collected from 3-4 year old ginseng plants. They are picked by hand in August/September when the green seeds become a red ripe color. Seeds are then de-pulped and stratified for one year to help with the germination process for next year garden.
#7 – Harvest – Harvest season is normally done in October, or before we incur too cold of weather (as we try to leave the roots in the ground as long as possible before we harvest them). All roots are dug up by a tractor and picked by hand/with a tractor.
Harvesting starts by taking a modified potato digger to the raised ginseng beds. What doesn’t get picked up by our motorized equipment will be picked by hand.
#8 – Cooling – After the roots are dug up by hand they are brought to a large cooler. The roots are cooled for 2-3 weeks. By cooling the roots it makes them easier for us to slice, as well as brings out the sugars and carbohydrates in the roots to give them a nice flavor.
Freshly dug ginseng is categorized by a field (or lot) number and is placed in the cooler
#9 – Wash – The roots are then removed from the cooler and put on a conveyor belt, and are washed. This cleans the roots and gets them ready for the drying process.
#10 – Dry – The roots are then put in a kiln for 10-14 days which they are rotated every couple days. This allows for the roots to obtain a nice wrinkle, and absorbs about 95% of the water out of the root so it will stay good for up to 3 years.
Ginseng Roots Dried and inspected in our kilns
#11 – Grading – Roots are then barreled and sent off to be graded. We grade about 26 different grades in the United States and about 40 different grades in China. The prongs and fiber are also removed from the root and graded as well.
Graded Ginseng Roots in Barrels – did they pass the test? Each root is unique, but grading allows for consistent sizing and packaging.
#12 – Packaging – Once the roots are graded they are all individually packaged by hand. They are put in a nice Hsu’s Ginseng Enterprise box and are ready for sale.
