⬥ The History of Whoo’s “Hwanyu” line is an immortal masterpiece. Discover what sets it apart from the rest.

Wild Ginseng Jeoncho (전초, 全草): the noble quest to achieve skin worthy of a queen.

  • A gift from nature – Wild Ginseng can only be harvested in small quantities during the months of May to September, the time of the year when Yang Qi reaches its peak.
  • Noble components – The History of Whoo’s “Hwanyu” line incorporates the entire Wild Ginseng Jeoncho plant, from leaves and stems to roots, each part brimming with fresh vitality.
  • Wisdom of patience. The History of Whoo used the traditional Hanbang Po-jae1 technique Baekjung Gobeop (백증고법, 百蒸膏法)2 to harness the full benefits of the precious Hanbang ingredient, Wild Ginseng Jeoncho, and effectively restore the skin’s lost energy.

[1] “Po Jae” (포제, 炮制) refers to the traditional techniques utilised in Korean Medicine for the preparation of herbs intended for medicinal use. These methods are designed to enhance or reduce specific properties of the herbs, tailoring them for particular therapeutic applications. (For further details, please consult the guide on Traditional Korean Medicine available on this website, specifically section 3.3, which covers “Herb preparation and processing methods”).

[2] The Baekjung Gobeop (백증고법, 百蒸膏法) is a traditional Hanbang Po-jae technique that consists of meticulously simmering the Wild Ginseng Jeoncho plant for 100 hours inside a PU-RE earthenware pot (푸레도기), a traditional Korean ceramic vessel historically reserved for members of the royal court. This process transforms the plant into herbal pills (환제, 丸劑), effectively capturing the active ingredients of the Wild Ginseng Jeoncho. [t/n for further details on Baekjung Gobeop and PU-RE earthenware, please refer to the main article on the “Hwanyu” line]
