Goji Berries:

Goji is a healthy berry according to traditional Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, Goji has been used as an anti-aging herb, but it is also a favorite for children and youth. This berry contains simple and complex sugars, polysaccharides, betaines, zeaxanthin, and physalein.

Goji berries, or Lycium fruit (Lycium barbarum), have been considered a superfood since the beginning of Asian civilization. To this day, Goji is revered in Asia for preserving youth, health, and strengthening the entire body. Goji is often used in combination with other prominent herbs such as Ginseng, Reishi, and Schizandra.

Since it is often impossible to consume enough antioxidants through our diet, modern lifestyle requires us to supplement our diet with rich, concentrated sources of antioxidants. Polyphenols in green tea are a perfect example, as are carotenoids and polysaccharides in Goji. The body is best served by consuming a broad spectrum of antioxidants.

Goji berries are a perfect complement to our daily diet. It has been proven that cooking does not destroy the antioxidant activity in Goji. Goji is a good source of vitamin C. Goji berries contain a unique vitamin C precursor, called ascorbic acid 2-beta-G. This precursor is easily assimilated by the body and is highly bioavailable.

Goji is considered a "beauty herb" in the Far East. This is because Goji is rich in phospholipids - the main lipid component in all cell membranes.

Goji berries contain an abundance of components including: 5 different Lycium polysaccharides (LBP), 18 amino acids, 6 essential fatty acids, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, and more than 20 trace minerals including calcium, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron.

Schizandra:

Schizandra berries, from the plant Schisandra chinensis, known as "the quintessence of Chinese tonic herbs" is an antioxidant and adaptogenic berry with very high nutritional content. Schizandra is a Chinese medicinal plant that has been used since the beginning of Chinese civilization and remains an elite herb in the Chinese herbal system.

The very name Schizandra in Chinese, Wu Wei Zi, tells a lot about the qualities this herb possesses. Wu Wei Zi means "Five Flavors Fruit" because Schizandra possesses all five of the classic flavors (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty) and thus embodies the essence of all five elemental energies (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water).

Schizandra is respected as a health tonic in the same class as Ginseng, Reishi, and Goji.

*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), they speak of "The 3 Treasures" as central concepts for our well-being - a long and happy life.

The 3 Treasures are:
Jing - our original energy.
Qi - the energy that circulates and is used in daily life.
Shen - our soul or "wisdom mind".

When these three are strong and in harmony, humans are said to be in "health beyond danger" and on the path to living a long, wise, and happy life. This is the foundation, according to Taoists, for being able to express our full potential as human beings.

One way to look at it is to compare our being to a candle;

Jing is the wax itself - the foundational energy that nourishes the other two.
Qi is the wick - that which makes it possible for the light to burn.
Shen is the light or flame itself; that which illuminates, spreads light and warmth around itself and determines how brightly it burns.

Ingredients: Tincture of wild Schizandra Climbing Vine (Schisandra chinensis) from Changbai Mountain and Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum) from Heaven Mountain, water, and grain alcohol. If you wish to remove the alcohol, the tincture can be taken in warm water/tea.
