anti-aging herbs
Herbs that slow down the aging process are called anti-aging
herbs. Aging is the process by which a biological system
proceeds through a natural life cycle, ultimately resulting in
death. The speed and nature of aging is strongly determined
genetically. Depending on the amount of Jing in the original
life cells of the fetus, the length of life is partially
determined and the maximum life span is essentially established.
However, the loss of Jing due to stress, illness or abuse will
hasten the aging process. Many of the tonic herbs have
anti-aging effects. They may due this by slowing down the loss
of Jing, or by specifically nourishing certain tissues such as
the blood, hair and skin.
Many of the tonic herbs have anti-aging qualities. Lycium Fruit,
for example, is extremely rich in antioxidants which slow down
aging. Pearl contains mucopolysac-carhides that have the ability
to prevent wrinkling of the skin.
Schizandra removes toxins from the liver, which results in a
more youthful body and a more beautiful exterior. Polygonum
promotes the production of the body's most important natural
antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD), which can significantly
slow down aging. Gynostemma has a profound and consistent
anti-inflammatory activity that prevents aging.
