Jing Herbs - Awaken the SHEN - Multi-Herb Formula (50g)

Pearl Shen   The Herbs in Pearl Shen   Duanwood Reishi Mushroom   Over two thousand years ago, Shen Nong said of Reishi Mushroom: “The taste is bitter, its atmospheric energy is neutral, it has no toxicity, it cures (removes) the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the chest, it is good for the Qi (functional activities) of the heart including mental activities, it tonifies the Spleen, increases wisdom, improves memory so that you won’t forget, long-term consumption will lighten your body, you will never become old, it lengthens years, it has spiritual power, and it develops Shen so that you become a “spirit-being” like the immortals.”   In the 16th Century pharmacopoeia Ben Cao Gang Mu, which contains hundreds of natural herbs the Chinese have used for thousands of years, compiler Li Shi Chen described the uses of Reishi: "It benefits the life energy, or Qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. It also increases intellectual capacity and banishes forgetfulness. Taken over a long period of time, agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortals."   Ganoderma was particularly revered by the followers of the Taoist tradition as the "Elixir of Immortality" and as the "Herb of Spiritual Potency." Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and spiritual "immortality" (the Chinese Taoist term for enlightenment, or ultimate spiritual realization).    Reishi is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, "The Herb of Spiritual Potency" was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being.   It is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous.

And Reishi's benefits are cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life.     Micro-Ground Pearl   For centuries, Chinese medical texts have credited ground Pearl Powder with the ability to relieve uneasiness of the heart and mind.
