Hello out there, I would like to take a moment to describe a powerful, delicious tea called Jiaogulan. At first look, this wonderful tea is easily seen as a healthy addition to your diet. It has been known to provide anti-aging properties and many additional benefits. It can be classified as a compound known as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are known for a wide range of benefits that work wonders upon the human body. Interestingly, these compounds provide a stabilization of various bodily physiological processes and promotion of homeostatis.* It has been shown to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. It is the perfect addition to encourage healthy aging in people, plus even by itself, it is very tasty! Compared to other adaptogens, Jiaogulan provides a larger share of saponins, a healthy plant chemical.
The Jiaogulan tea is indigenous to the Southern China area, as well as other locations throughout Southeast Asia. Most markets in the US do not carry the tea, many people working in actual tea rooms haven't even heard of this miracle tea. Most likely, you will have to mail order the loose leaf via the internet. I say it's time we bust out and share this delightful, healthy tea with the world!
“After many years studying hundreds of herbs, we ultimately came to the realization that Jiaogulan was not only the rainforest’s most precious gift, but was in fact nature’s greatest treasure. We began to use Jiaogulan in our medical university hospital with great success for a wide variety of conditions, and before long, it was also being used at numerous other hospitals throughout China.”
-Dr. Jialiu Liu, 'Father of Jiaogulan'
