What does it do?

Baeksam is an herbal material made by steaming ginseng, primarily used to assist gastrointestinal function and alleviate coughing symptoms. It is included in herbal prescriptions to relieve indigestion or coughing symptoms.

Baeksam promotes the function of the digestive organs in the body to aid in the digestion of food and helps reduce coughing symptoms by alleviating inflammation in the airways. It also contributes to overall health recovery through immune modulation.
