Research on the Potential Health Benefits of Jiaogulan

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.




"China's Immortality Herb"

Since it's rediscovery in the 1970's, scientists in China, Japan, Germany and the USA have conducted over 300 studies into the medicinal properties of Jiaogulan. Much of this research was compiled in a book by American researcher Michael Blumert and Dr. Jialiu Liu from the Guiyang Medical College in China. The book is "Jiaogulan: China's Immortality Herb".
