Chinese Tonic Herbs

Western medicine is the research and treatment of disease. Chinese medicine is the research and treatment of good health. Traditionally in China, doctors were paid to keep their patients well. If a patient fell ill, the doctor had to treat them for free. So their focus has been on preventing disease before it starts, by building a state of radiant health.

 Chinese herbal formulas are considered to be the most sophisticated in the world. Time-tested, well researched, very safe with almost no side effects, these herbs are powerful adaptogenics that counteract the effects of stress – a major cause of disease. Since the liver and kidneys are the organs that “age” us, most Chinese anti-aging longevity herbs are liver and kidney tonics.

 Unlike most western drugs, these herbs not only help to relieve symptoms, but they also work to remove the underlying cause. Chinese tonic herbs can help your body maintain strength, longevity and balance.

Jiaogulan

(Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
The Herb of Immortality

Jiaogulan is one of the most powerful adaptogenic herbs known, with more beneficial gypenosides than any other known plant; Astragalus has 32, Ginseng has 36,  Jiaogulan has 84. 

Scientific interest in Jiaogulan began with the 1970 Chinese census.  Small regions were found where high numbers of people per capita were living to be over 100 years old,  yet the incidence of cancer in these regions was extremely low.  The Chinese Academy of Medical Science in Beijing researched these regions and found that the inhabitants were drinking Jiaogulan  every day. 

 Adaptogens are tonic herbs, and are an established treatment used by medical doctors in China to help patients adapt to cancer therapies, normalize blood pressure and boost their immune systems.  

Jiaogulan has a regulating influence on the nervous system to calm the nerves and lift the spirits. It is mild tasting and beneficial for all ages. Because it contains so many beneficial gypenosides it is used for fatigue, bronchitis, obesity, heart disease, migraines, diabetes, stress, insomnia, gastric ulcers, digestion, arthritis, anti-inflammation, body-fat regulation and allergies. read more ...

Hidden River Farm is a family-owned business located in Valley Springs, CA near the Sierra Nevada mountains. We manufacture a line of vegetarian Chinese liquid herbal concentrates and teas. We use only the finest imported sulfur-free and chemical-free herbs grown under strict guidelines in their own indigenous regions. Our tonics are powerful 4:1 extracts. They are full-bodied liquid concentrates, not weak tinctures. We use 4 pounds of herbs to make 1 gallon tonic. The herbs are slowly extracted into 40% grain alcohol and water, cold-pressed, carefully filtered and then sealed into amber glass dropper bottles. Refrigeration is never needed because the alcohol inhibits microbial and enzyme activity. Their shelf-life is 5 -10 years or more.

Liquid extracts are easy to swallow, and are absorbed much better than tablets because the herb’s active components have been extracted and separated from the indigestible cellulose and starch. Grain alcohol is used because it extracts and holds all the valuable plant chemicals better than water or glycerin, then carries those components into your body more efficiently. For children or people with alcohol sensitivity, you can easily evaporate the alcohol before taking it by making tonic tea.

Directions: Take up to 1/2 teaspoon (2 squirts) of tonic twice daily, between meals.  Add to hot or cold water, stir and enjoy.

Tonic Tea: Put dosage in hot water and stir (alcohol will evaporate.)  Sweeten if desired, and enjoy.

"I have been using Women's Formula and Jiaogulan for several months.  I just got a phone call from my doctor with my latest test results.  My adult-onset diabetes is now completely normalized, and my cholesterol level has dropped 40 points!  My doctor and I are extremely pleased.  Also, my dental check-up revealed that my receding gum line has reversed itself by an entire millimetre!."
Dolly McCord, California

 "I've had extremely high blood pressure that required strong medication and continual medical monitoring.  After using Jiaogulan for two months, I was discharged from the monitoring program because my blood pressure had gone down to normal.  Jiaogulan tea is powerful, soothing and calming."
