Jiaogulan Tea (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) Organic Best Quality Pure Loose Leaf "Herb of Immortality" Fair-Trade Longevity Antiaging Antioxidant Caffeine-Free Tea from Thailand (100g)Praised as the “Herb of Immortality” in China, Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a herb believed to contribute to a long and disease-free life due to its powerful anti-aging effects and possibly the widest spectrum of scientifically demonstrated health benefits of any plant known to science. Our organic Jiaogulan is a fair-trade product grown by indigenous hill-tribe farmers in the pristine mountains of the Chiangmai province in northern Thailand – the foothills of the Himalayas.The herb is cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers (independent lab tests available as proof) under the supervision of the Royal Project of His Majesty, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, which is a wildly successful initiative that helps solve problems of deforestation, poverty and opium production in hill-tribe communities by replacing the historically relied on drug crops with legal ones that provide higher incomes and better way of life to local villages.Only organic and sustainable methods are used in the farming of Jiaogulan under the Royal Project program. Pesticides are not needed since Gynostemma is naturally resistant to insects and other pests. In addition, the herb likes fertile soil but is very sensitive to chemical fertilizers, so growers use only compost or humus methods. Following every harvest the farmers plant legumes and build up the soil again by using the nitrogen from peanuts and beans as a natural fertilizer.During the cultivation period our Jiaogulan is carefully nurtured and protected from harsh sunlight. Once the herb is ready for harvesting, it is picked by hand and dried using professional slow-ovens at very low temperatures.This makes our harvest truly the best tasting Jiaogulan with the most health benefits.We are proud to say that when you buy Majestic Herbs Jiaogulan everyone is a winner. You are not only reaping the health benefits of this incredible herb - you are also helping to provide income and sustain the traditional ways of life for the wonderful indigenous people of northern Thailand! Jiaogulan is a member of a rare and remarkable group of plants called adaptogens. These herbs help the body adapt to different kinds of stress, be it physical, chemical, biological, emotional, or environmental, which in turn decreases the organism's susceptibility to illness. They also help balance the various bodily systems and functions, which is essential for maintaining good health.With the largest variety of the chemical compounds – called saponins – that give most adaptogens their health-promoting properties, Jiaogulan is arguably the most powerful herb in the group. While Panax Ginseng – the most famous adaptogen – contains 28 different types of saponins, Jiaogulan contains over 189 of these compounds. That is over 6.5 times as many!! The Most Potent AntioxidantJiaogulan's many health benefits are in great part due to its unique antioxidant properties. It can be thousands of times more powerful than antioxidants obtained from diet (like Vitamin C and E) or other teas in helping the body to neutralize free radicals (the cause of aging and a myriad of diseases).This is because the herb has one of the rarest and most powerful antioxidant properties – it stimulates the body’s own production of the 3 most important antioxidants in existence - Superoxide Dismutase, Glutathione, and Catalase - which have a direct impact on longevity, youthfulness, and good overall health. These 3 antioxidants are very difficult or impossible to obtain from diet, and unfortunately our body's ability to produce them diminishes as we age. This is why when we are younger we are usually healthy even if we don’t know what a fruit or vegetable tastes like, but become more and more suceptible to disease with age. By stimulating the production of these internal antioxidants, Jiaogulan enables the body to use its own intelligence to heal itself!
