Goji is known to most as a wonderful superfood, but it’s actually one of the most prized tonic herbs of the ancient Taoists.
Used throughout Asia as a potent longevity herb and blood tonic, to assist the cultivation of Yin Jing, to bring brightness to the eyes & improve vision and as a sexual tonic for both men and women, this herb is so damn good as a fertility and vitlising herb it had to be one of the main ingredients of our Beauty Blend.
Beauty is correlated massively with fertility, the more our sex hormones and sexual fluids are rocking, the more we are able to lubricant, the more we will shine from the inside out, and goji is one of our main herbal secrets for getting the sexual fluids flowing (especially when combined with the schizandra). Goji is said to bring strength and vigor to the legs and to promote a cheerful spirit (the cheerful nature that arises from the spirit after long term usage is consistent in the ancient texts). Traditionally used to fortify the entire system, goji is believed to protect against disease and provide the energy needed to overcome obstacles. It brighten the eyes and improves vision and is the primary tonic to vision in Chinese tonic herbalism (due to antioxidant content and liver toning capacity). The herbs in the Beauty Blend encourage the body’s detoxification channels, assisting the body’s ability to process and release toxins, but goji is especially potent in this. These actions support the methylation process as goji contains potent levels of the compound betaine which acts as one of our primary methyl donors. As we age our innate ability to methylate declines, increasing the degeneration of our neurological and hepatic capacity, along with our genetic expression and potential.
And last but not least, just thought we’d mention that goji contains compounds and actions that stimulate the secretion of Human-Growth-Hormone. The sesquiterpenoids, which stimulate the pineal gland to produce more HGH.
