Ginger, ginger, ginger root and medicinal uses

Chin prefers well-drained, sandy soil. It prefers a humid climate. It grows best in slightly alkaline soil and is fertilized with natural fertilizers.

Chin history

In Pali, the cinnabar is called variously as Addaya, Singhaveera, and Mahosadha. Among these, Mahosadha means the six cinnabars, so based on the Pali word Mahosadha, some scholars believe that the six cinnabars were the divine medicine pills that the Bodhisattva Mahosadha Sukhamen, who appeared in the Mahosadha story, was carrying in his hand when he was born.

Chin is also mentioned in the ancient scriptures such as the Saraka Sutta, which were written before the Buddha's birth. Therefore, Chin is believed to have existed before the Buddha's birth.

It is believed to have originated more than 5,000 years ago. According to researchers, the ginger tree was first discovered in Southeast Asia. Ancient world history also shows that Arab traders brought ginger from eastern countries to Asia Minor before the Roman era, and from there it was exported to Western Europe.

Some say that the traveler Marco Polo (1280-90) first discovered the ginger in India and China, and that John of Montelorvino, who arrived in India in 1292, brought the ginger with him and sent it to other countries, from where it spread. Furthermore, Marino Sanado, in his account of 1306, states that the Venetians brought ginger from India, from Egypt and the Black Sea coast.

According to botanists, the ginger is not a native plant, but was first discovered in Southeast Asia. This is because the Thekkadian scriptures mention that dried and green ginger were traded in India and China in ancient times.

Long-standing use of Chin

Medical texts written during the Han Dynasty (25-220 AD) in China mention that ginger was used as a medicine at that time. During the reign of King Henry VIII of England, ginger was also used in the preparation of a medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Akbar, who ruled India in 1442 AD, loved ginger so much that he always had it in every dish he ate. He would eat ginger rice even when he was eating only rice.

Regarding Chin, U Toe's Ramarakan describes the characteristics of Chin as "a cloud patch that does not oppose the rolling clouds and the sun, a cloud that is bluer than the green of Chin, a city that is rolling and rolling, and a city at the intersection of eight roads."

In addition, in rural poems, we also find compositions such as, “The mountain is full of mistletoe and gin. If you want mistletoe and gin, then dig in the shallow soil of Waso Nge.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the Burmese have been using Chin for a long time.

Chin cultivation areas

Ginger is grown in many Asian countries. The Greeks and Romans bought ginger from Asian merchants at high prices.

Later, the Chin reached the Indian Ocean, South America, West Africa, and Australia. From there, it spread to China, the West Indies, and West and Central Africa.

In Myanmar, ginseng is grown mostly in southern, northern, eastern, and Chin states. Now, there are plans to export organic ginseng from Myanmar to Germany.

Types of Chin

There are eight species of Chin found in Myanmar. These are:

1. Plain Chin (commonly used Chin) is also called Burmese Chin Rai by some.

2. Chin Min (Rising Chin from Yoro Yoro Chin)

3. Chinpyan (a type of ginger that grows on a tree)

4. Chinkha (bitter) is defined as chicken kheengkha in the Burmese dictionary.

5. Chinsu Pauk (Chin with thorns on the egg)

6. Chin River (Chin River with roots growing from the tuber to the ground)

7. Dried ginger (a world-class ginger used in medicine)

They are.

Some medical texts also refer to it as Chin Sin, Sin Chin, Chin Taung Boi Suc, Chin Ya, Chin Ya Phyu, and Baek Chin. Some of them may be different names for the same species.

In Burmese traditional medicine, “Chinphi” and “Chinpei” are also found. They are not a separate type of Chin. Although they have different names, they are the same.

The Sarakamudi medical text states that “chingpwe” refers to poison, snake venom, or other poisons from trees.

Some, “Trikaluka, Ngarochin, Paechinthi, etc. are crushed, dried, sweet, bitter, eaten with food, they disperse the four elements, they are bile-forming, they do not disappear, they are always at peace” (128),

Based on the Maghadeva (505) which says “Chinphi, Ngaro, Karikalu, Aktthay Karavay”, they prefer to take “Chinphi” and “Chinpe” as Chin or Chintak. They have various meanings according to the original Vipasha grammar.

How to grow ginseng

The Chin prefers loose, sandy soil, soil that allows its roots to go deep down. It likes soil near water, but does not like waterlogging.

The land to be planted with Chin should be ploughed in the month of Tagu to break up the soil clods. Then, add fertilizer and plough again after about a month. Add compost once after planting and once when the plants are growing. Chin should be planted at the beginning of the rainy season.

When planting, the shoots are separated so that each has a single bud, and planted in rows 18 to 36 inches apart, nine inches apart, and about two inches deep.

In the months of Tapot and Tabaung, when the tubers (shoots) come out of the plant and the plant sheds its leaves, it is ready to be dug up. About 50 pisas of Chintak can be planted per acre. If 100 pisas of Chintak can be planted, between 400 and 50 pisas of Chintak can be obtained.

Which of the five elements is included in the Five Elements?

Some traditional medicines contain the five elements in their formulations.

The five elements are:

1. Cotton candy

2. Paechin River

3. Chin

4. Sro

5. They are the Supreme Commander.

Pansakula (Pali) means the five elements. Therefore, in the Suyase (145) -

“From Beikchinthi, the river, Chinsit, Saro, and Kantchag are called five rivers,” he said.
