Jiaogulan's Many Benefits
In the 1970s the Chinese government asked scientists to research the unusually large number of centagenarians in the small mountain provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi and Shicuan. In addition to unusual longevity the researchers found low incidences of many common ailments associated with aging including, diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's and cancer. After over 10 years of study they found one common thread. A plant the locals called "xiancao" the "immortality" plant. The villagers drank it several times a day simply because it tasted good and is naturally sweet. Researchers discovered in the lab that this simple mountain herb, called Jiaogulan, had much more to offer than just good taste.
More research is needed. Jiaogulan is an herb and not a medicine, treatment or cure. However it may be a helpful dietary supplement. Researchers have had positive results in their research on Jiaogulan in the following areas:
Antioxidants (linked to improved
immunity, effects of aging, faster muscle
recovery etc.)
Adaptogens and Saponins (a class
of substances that help the body self-regulate, a key factor in diabetes,
high blood pressure, ulcers, hormone imbalance and many other ailments)
Diabetes
