A Life Enhancing Herb

One small vine, growing natively in Asia for hundreds of years has earned the reputation of a life enhancing herb, the name “Herb of Immortality” and is also commonly known as jiaogulan tea. 

Used in ancient Chinese medicine to help many ailments, this Herb of Immortality, was documented as early as the 1400s for being used to successfully address health issues such as tumors.      

Since the early days, jiaogulan has been enjoyed on a daily basis by Asian natives and believed to increase vitality and longevity.  Studies support these beliefs and are due to the scientific findings, which show the presence of large quantities of saponins and adaptogens in the tea.

Saponins are very beneficial to the health because they possess properties such as anti-carconogenic activity, antioxidant abilities and support health cholesterol.  While saponins are found in beans, legumes, garlic and oats, they are also present in ginseng and jiaogulan tea; with jiaogulan having an abundance of them.

Furthermore, the adaptogens present in jiaogulan offer balance to the body supporting an overall equilibrium.  Why is this important?  Say you have a stressful day, if you regularly consume jiaogulan tea, the adaptogens protect your body from adverse effects often caused by stress.  Also, the jiaogulan enhances heart function and helps metabolize sugars and carbs.

Jiaogulan tea offers an abundance of beneficial properties to the body.  A life enhancing herb that can be enjoyed simply in a cup of tea, the herb of immortality awaits.
