They revered it in the regions where it grew as \u201cmagical grass\u201d because of its many reputed health benefits. Subsequently, studies conducted first in Japan revealed that Gynostemma, also known as Jiaogulan, was extremely rich in saponins that were extremely close to those found in Ginseng and Siberian Ginseng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7492\"\/><figcaption>spring dragon<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turned out, Gynostemma contains over 80 of these beneficial saponins, as opposed to the approximately 35 found in Ginseng. Many of these gypenosides are actually almost identical to the ginsenosides found in Ginseng. Gynostemma is also much cheaper to produce, since it takes less than a year to cultivate it. Ginseng has to be aged for at least 5 years before it is ready for consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Healthy And Natural Teas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gynostemma tea had generally been made from wild mountain Gynostemma pentaphyllum plants, but as Gynostemma&#8217;s reputation as a longevity herb grew, farmers learned to cultivate it. Within a decade, Gynostemma was being consumed by millions of Asians as a <em>tonic tea<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate greatness of Gynostemma lies in its broad spectrum of adaptogenic (stress modulating) quality. Adaptogenic herbs improve the efficiency of the metabolic, neurological, immunologic, respiratory and endocrine systems. Prolonged consumption of Gynostemma has a highly protective quality because it strengthens the <a href=\"https:\/\/serc.carleton.edu\/integrate\/teaching_materials\/food_supply\/student_materials\/1059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>adaptive capacity<\/em><\/a> of the person at every level of their life<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Asia, Gynostemma is considered to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Invigorating (does not cause hyperactivity \u2013 not a stimulant)<\/li><li>Calming (promotes a sense of peace \u2013 not a sedative)<\/li><li>Anti-aging (antioxidant and more)<\/li><li>Anti-inflammatory (not as a medicine, but to help reduce the factors that cause low grade, sub-clinical chronic inflammation experienced by all humans)<\/li><li>Immune-regulating (not as a medicine, but to help<a href=\"\/host-defense-immune-support\/\"> support the normal healthy functioning of various immune<\/a> functions)<\/li><li>A respiratory tonic (improve respiratory efficiency)<\/li><li>A digestive aid (Gynostemma is very soothing)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Spring Dragon Longevity Tea: Teas Made With Extraordinary Skill And Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gynostemma is one of a few natural substances that has been shown to increase levels of SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), one of the most important antioxidants in the body. It also seems to have a double-direction activity on many processes in the body, which is an effect that many adaptogenic herbs exhibit. With Gynostemma, the effects are most pronounced when dealing with blood pressure, blood-sugar, and cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gynostemma has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a major aid in <a href=\"\/weight-management-maintenance-program-with-pgx\/\">weight management programs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>They have shown Gynostemma to have a double-direction activity regarding weight. Gynostemma can be useful in reducing excessive body fat, when combined with a reasonable exercise program and a healthy diet that modulates caloric intake.<\/li><li>Gynostemma may also help athletes, body builders or excessively slim people to gain weight.<\/li><li>Gynostemma speeds up the body\u2019s metabolism and helps adjust blood sugar and blood fat levels. Adjusting blood sugar and blood fat are critical steps in attaining healthy metabolic function, whether one wants to lose weight by reducing excessive body fat, gain weight by building lean muscle, or maintain a healthy weight by helping regulate bodily functions.<\/li><li>Although Gynostemma is not laxative, it may help maintain healthy bowel movements.<\/li><li>Gynostemma acts as a scavenger in the stomach and intestines, ridding the body of toxins, toxic microbes and waste that otherwise may become lodged in the intestines.<\/li><li>Gynostemma protects the stomach lining.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring Dragon Longevity Tea uses Gynostemma as the key ingredient, but they actually infused the leaves with the following tonic herb extracts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7493\"\/><figcaption>spring dragon tea<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Schizandra<\/strong> \u2013 Called the \u201cquintessence of Chinese herbs,\u201d Schizandra is a delicious, exotic tonic fruit that is traditionally used to tonify all the systems of the body, clean the liver, open the lungs, nourish and moisturize the skin, and sharpen the mind. It is a potent antioxidant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/learn\/goji-berries-daily-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Goji Berries<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Known in Asia as a premier \u201clongevity and anti-aging herb,\u201d this delicious tonic fruit is a true superfood, rich in antioxidants. It is famous for enhancing strength, vision, and beauty. Goji is rich in immune-potentiating polysaccharides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Astragalus<\/strong> \u2013 One of the most important herbs in all of herbalism, we value Astragalus for its immune-regulating, immune-potentiating effects. It is also a potent energy tonic and blood tonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eleuthero<\/strong> \u2013 Also known as \u201cSiberian Ginseng,\u201d Eleuthero is famous for its ability to enhance physical and mental endurance, to help us handle stress more efficiently and as a gentle mood elevator. Eleuthero, like ginseng and Gynostemma, is rich in saponins. It is the ultimate adaptogenic herb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Luo Han Guo<\/strong> \u2013 This delicious, exotic fruit has been used for centuries as a lung tonic. It contains <em>mogroside<\/em>, a potent immune-potentiating glucoside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blend is not just a bunch of herbs thrown together. It is a very potent infusion that is 5 to 10 times stronger than just a regular blend of herbs.

We also have the Gynostemma in pill form from Mayway, but they sell it under the Chinese name &#8220;Jiaogulan.&#8221; Gynostemma is still relatively unknown in the world. Until about 30 years ago it was only drunk only in certain parts of southern China. It has since caught on in Asia, but is just now becoming popular in the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring Dragon tea is called the healthiest tea on earth, but it is rather inexpensive for a longevity tea.
