The Many Benefits of Regularly Taking Chinese Medicine
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum is a plant in the Cucurbitaceae family, and its name is not found in ancient herbal classics. Japanese scientists discovered that its composition contains several components with the same structure as some ginsenosides. In recent years, it has been found that Gynostemma Pentaphyllum has anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-cancer, and endocrine-regulating functions. It can improve the body's adaptability and immunity, lower cholesterol and transaminase, prevent tumors, inhibit ulcers, relieve tension, and has sedative and analgesic effects.
Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a treasure among bee products, rich in nutritional components. It can promote protein synthesis, cell growth, and the body's metabolism, and enhance tissue regeneration ability. At the same time, because it is rich in superoxide dismutase and vitamins C and E, it is a rare anti-aging medicine.
Astragalus Root
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that "the spleen is the foundation of postnatal life". Li Gao, a representative figure of the Spleen and Stomach school, believed that Astragalus "benefits the original qi and tonifies the three burners". Huang Gongxiu of the Qing Dynasty called Astragalus "the best of all qi-tonifying medicines". Modern research has found that Astragalus can not only dilate the coronary arteries, improve myocardial blood supply, and enhance immune function, but also delay the aging process of cells.
Ginseng
The "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" (The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica Classic) states that ginseng can "tonify the five organs, calm the spirit, stabilize the soul, stop palpitations, expel pathogenic factors, brighten the eyes, and open the mind to increase wisdom. Long-term use makes the body light and extends life". Modern research has found that it also has antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-fatigue, liver-protecting, cardiovascular-regulating, and hematopoietic system-stimulating effects. Huo Yushu and others from the Jilin Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted an anti-aging study on people over 50 using ginseng fruit saponins, confirming that ginseng fruit saponins have the effect of "rejuvenation".
Goji Berry
The "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" describes goji berry as "taking it for a long time strengthens the bones and muscles, makes the body light and prevents aging, and increases resistance to cold and heat". The "Ben Hua Yan" praises it for "enabling qi to be replenished, blood to be nourished, yang to be generated, and yin to be grown". Goji berry has an "adaptogenic" effect similar to ginseng, and can also prevent arteriosclerosis, lower blood sugar, and promote the regeneration of liver cells. Taking it enhances physical fitness and delays aging.
