Please note: The descriptions below are from the Traditional Chinese and or "Folk Medicine" use of herbs provided for information and not intended to replace advice from a medical doctor or to replace any drugs that are FDA approved.
Historically, in traditional Chinese medicine,
Ping Da Wan or "Gotu Kola" as many people know it, is considered to be one
of the best herbal brain and CNS tonics known in the natural and also
a life-enhancer that contributes greatly to long
life. Ping Da Wan is prominently featured in the Shen Nong Herbal, compiled in China over two thousand years ago, as one of the "miracle elixirs of life."
We know that Li Ching Yuen (Who lived to be at least 197) consumed this daily as part of his diet including Wolfberries, He Shou Wu, and Ginseng. As a result of his remarkable long life, studies performed upon Gotu Kola by the French in Algeria revealed what appears to be a "new vitamin" not known in any other food or herb. It was described as the "youth vitamin X" that exerts a rejuvenating influence upon the ductless glands, the healthy functioning of which is the means that the brain and body are maintained for healthy activity.
Please note: Some people mistakenly think from the word "Kola" in "Gotu Kola" that this herb contains caffine. This is not at all true!
The leaves are said to be the favored food of elephants (This could be, in part, why "An elephant never forgets" and has such a long life) This herb is featured in a few of our Plant Cures Formulas for better brain power and longevity such as "Siberian Kola" (Featured below) It is also found in "Think Clear" and "Li Ching Shou Wu."
Siberian Kola is a magnificent tonic to the brain because when you add the blood-oxygen raising abilities of Siberian Ginseng to Gotu Kola, this combo becomes a dramatic formula to increase concentration, focus, memory, and brain power endurance in general. I have taken this combo many times when studying for a test and when taking an exam. It’s almost like “cheating” but the remarkable thing is that you still retain all the data. (At least I did)
Gotu Kola Extract "Siberian Kola"
We have a powerful liquid tinctured extract of pure Gotu Kola in 4
and 16 oz bottles. We also have
a well known and highly effective combanation for high energy (Both
mentaly and physically) which is equal parts of Siberian Gensing and Gotu Kola.
We call our version of this
combanation "Siberian Kola" but
please remember there is absalutly no caffine in this product and it will not raise blood pressure at all.
In fact unlike some Panax Ginseng that can raise blood pressure in a few
people, the Siberian Ginseng in this will help lower high blood pressure as will
the Gotu Kola. Rember both of these are extracted with 40% alcohol for best absorbtion in the blood.
