Jiaogulan (jow-goo-lawn) has such a long list of rejuvenating properties that in China they call it the ‘immortality’ herb. It is in a rare class of herbs called ‘adaptogens’ that help your body without causing any harm or imbalance. Jiaogulan is especially helpful in building your body’s natural resistance to stress. The amazing effect jiaogulan has on cardio-vascular health has earned it the title of “the herbal heart defender”. This is the first book to reveal the complete history and the traditional and modern uses of jiaogulan. The beneficial effects of this “miracle” herb on regulating blood pressure, strengthening the immune system, lowering cholesterol levels, and increasing endurance are described in detail. The authors have also included most of the known research on jiaogulan.“Two years ago I began a 10,000-mile journey that took me to Asia to find out if the amazing claims about jiaogulan were true. I teamed up with Jialiu Liu, M.D., who led an eight-year research project on jiaogulan in China.We found that over 20 years of scientific studies along with traditional Chinese medicine have shown jiaogulan to dramatically affect many life-threatening health conditions, particularly those that affect baby-boomers and seniors.” - Michael Blumert, Co-Author, Jiaogulan, China’s “Immortality” Herb
