Reishi Mushroom / Ganoderma Lucidum

Our Reishi Mushroom is a wild crafted tonic herb for cultivating spiritual energy, modulating immune function, and promoting health, longevity, and peace of mind.

According to Shen Nong's Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica: "Long term consumption [of Reishi mushroom] will lighten the body and prevent aging, extend one's life, and make one an immortal." We at Jing Herbs agree. As a matter of fact, if you were given the choice of taking only one herb for the rest of your life, from all the herbs in the world, we believe that Reishi should be your choice.

It has a legendary status in the Orient because of its ability to profoundly affect so many aspects of your life in a positive manner. Reishi mushroom, also known as the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Herb of Good Fortune" is considered by many to be the quintessential tonic herb because of its ability to nurture all Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, Shen).

Ganoderma is an adaptogenic and longevity herb that helps to support and regulate immune function, protect the cardiovascular system, and support and protect the liver. But perhaps its greatest function is that of a Shen tonic. It is unrivalled in its ability to open the Heart, calm the Spirit, and connect you to your higher self. It enhances wisdom and supports spiritual evolution and insight.

Astragalus Root

Astragalus is one of the great tonic herbs as it strongly tonifies the vital Qi of the body as well as generates blood and fluids. It is a first class herb for maintaining a healthy immune system. This is a premium energy tonic for athletes and anyone looking for more day to day energy and vitality.

Astragalus is categorized as an Energy (Qi) tonifying herb. It thus directly supports the Lung and Spleen organs in the body. By supporting those organs, energy derived from the foods you eat and the air you breathe is increased.

As an immune system tonic, Astragalus tonifies what the Chinese call "wei qi" or "protective qi" which is the energy that runs just below the surface of the skin.  It helps the body to fight off external pathogens that you may come in contact with.

Astragalus also houses what is call "upright qi" which is the energy in the body that supports upright posture and the correct position of the organs. Weak "upright qi" can lead to organ prolapse, slumping or slouching, and general feelings of fatigue.

Lycium Fruit

Lycium fruit, also known as Goji berry, has a long history of being one of the greatest longevity tonics from the east. It is a Yin Essence restorative herb that brightens and strengthens the eyes, supports immune function, builds sexual fluids, creates cheerfulness, supports the legs, and enhances sexual function.

Lycium nourishes and tonifies the Liver and Kidneys, enriches the Yin and moistens the Lungs, and mildly augments the Kidney Yang, making it a favorite for the sexually active. It is a must herb for anyone seeking a long, happy, and healthy life.

As an immune system tonic, Lycium has a polysaccharide-protein complex that may induce immune response through supporting the production of cytokine.

Lycium also protects cells from free radical damage with its antioxidant properties. Its ability to build blood also makes it an anti-aging beauty tonic revered the world over.

Morinda Root

Morinda root is a Yang tonic that tonifies the Kidney Jing and all creative energies. This herb is very beneficial for athletes of all levels since it promotes the strength of the bones and skeletal system allowing for strong anchorage of tendons and muscles. Morinda is powerful without being drying in nature, and its tonification is achieved without cloying, thus making it suitable for everyone.

Morinda enters the Kidney channel thus augmenting the Yang energy, boosting the Jing essence, and strengthening the bones, tendons, and ligaments. One of the most outstanding qualities of this herb is that while possessing a Yang nature, it engenders a harmonious, but not drying, warmth. It is able to nourish the Kidney essence without drying the Kidney Yin.

Morinda also has a secondary function of augmenting the blood. Although this is a minor function, it supports the herb's moistening qualities by helping to create a Yin fluid.

Finally, because Morinda has an acrid element to it, coupled with its warming nature, it is able to expel wind and damp from the body. This function is particularly useful for people who may experience pain in the lower back and knees, and mild edema in the legs and ankles.

Panax Ginseng Root (White Chinese Ginseng)

Ginseng root is perhaps the greatest herb known to man. Its original translation is "man root" and according to legend, it was a gift given to man from the gods. It is highly prized because of its powerful ability to promote health and longevity. It supports immune function, provides energy, balances the endocrine system, tonifies digestion, strengthens the Lungs, and promotes adaptability. High quality Ginseng also calms the Spirit and is considered a supreme Shen tonic. It is truly an herb fit for a King or Queen. Ginseng root is the perfect counterpart in the plant world to man himself: strong, durable, adaptable, and resilient. Moreover, those same properties of Ginseng are conveyed to us when we consume this herb.

Chinese Ginseng (Asian Ginseng) is a cultivated root available in both a red and white variety. The red ginseng undergoes a steaming and drying process that changes its color and attributes. This process makes it a warmer and more Yang variety than white ginseng and it provides more physical energy, sexual energy, and power. The white variety is most often used for tonifying digestion, increasing adaptogenic energy, strengthening overall Energy (Qi) in the body, and promoting longevity.

Polygala Tenufolia Root

Polygala is one of the truly extraordinary tonic herbs in the entire Asian tonic herbal system. This herb first attained wide use in circles because it was believed to have powerful mind and spirit-developing power. In fact, Polygala root was believed to be an empowering substance in the class with wild Ginseng and Ganoderma in this regard. This root is traditionally used as a Spirit tonic to relax the mind, calm the emotions and to aid in the sleep process. However, it does not relax the mind in entirely the same manner as many Spirit Stabilizing herbs.

Instead, many people claim that it enhances dreaming and aids in creative thinking. And it not only aids creative thinking, but the ability to manifest our ideas. In fact, the ancient name for this herb is the "Will Strengthener." The herb is believed to have the ability to strengthen that part of the psyche which we call the "Will."
