Dragon Herbs Bupleurum and Dragon Bone 100 Capsules (480mg) (aka The Great Stabilizer)
£20.00

It steadies the nerves and soothes the heart.
Dragon Herbs Bupleurum and Dragon Bone Formulation is suited to people of moderate to strong constitution who are suffering from stress with physical tension. It is sedating and stabilizing to the mind. It does not cause drowsiness for most people during the waking hours, but simply takes the edge off of tension-related nervousness and anxiety. It is used by people who are experiencing hypersensitivity of the nerves, palpitations caused by anxiety, chest tension, hypertension and insomnia due to anxiety, irritability, chronic anger, frustration, nervousness, hysteria, tension, spasms, tremors, insomnia due to excitability, grinding of the teeth during sleep, epilepsy and menopausal tension.* It can be used by people who become easily frustrated and angry to establish a calm demeanor. Dragon Herbs Bupleurum and Dragon Bone Formulation is used to inhibit excitability due to an over-abundance of Liver Qi. It thus sedates the Liver (the nerves), resulting in calmness. It is superb at relieving “neurotic wry neck,” severe neck tension and spasms due to nervous tension.

Dragon Herbs Super Adaptogen 100caps (500mg)
£25.00
Super Adaptogen
If someone were to take just one formula, this could be the one. This is a full spectrum adaptogenic formula that nurtures all Three Treasures, Jing, Qi and Shen. An adaptogen is a substance that helps bring the body into a state of harmony with its environment by inducing chemical, cellular, and systemic balance as a response to the changes in the environment. This harmonizing function reduces the effects of unfavorable conditions and stimulates the body's own immune and healing functions. Adaptogenic substances help the body to adapt to various stressful challenges presented by the environment and reduce the damage inflicted on the body through the normal process of adaptation. Adaptability is the measure of life for all plants and animals, and it is the measure of a human’s life as well. Adaptogens tend to support the body’s own ability to cope successfully with stress, thus promoting wellbeing.Super Adaptogen contains many of the most potent tonic herbs in the world. Super Adaptogen nurtures all three treasures, and in particular, it tonifies the adaptive Qi. However, this is definitely a complete tonic formulation.*
This formula contains most of the super-adaptogens, and provides an abundance of adaptogenic phytochemicals and phytonutrients.
Adaptability Enhancement
We human beings are intimately interconnected with our environment. Any change in the environment influences us both physically and psychically. How we handle such changes, how we adapt to the changes in our environment and to the stresses of life, will be the determining factor in our health and well-being. Conversely, as we change, the environment around us will be influenced and will reflect our changes. The greatness of Oriental natural philosophy lies, to a great degree, in its subtlety and breadth of vision with regard to the connection between the human being and their environment. The tonic herbalist recognizes such environmental influences as the change of seasons – the wind, heat, cold, dryness, moisture, and so on – as fundamental factors in one's health.
Adaptability requires energy. The greater the stresses of life and the more dynamic the changes in one's life, the greater the requirement for adaptive energy. The very purpose of using Chinese tonic herbs is to aid the body-mind in its adaptive needs. The greatness of the Chinese tonic herbs lies in their adaptogenic quality; that is, their ability to enhance the body-mind's capacity to adapt optimally, accurately and with endurance, to changes in the environment, and thus to overcome the stresses of life.
By replenishing the energy of the cells, tissues and systems that regulate our adaptability, we find ourselves capable of experiencing life at its fullest. We find ourselves with increased physical, mental and emotional endurance. We find ourselves easily handling stresses that would exhaust others. We find ourselves to be resilient on every level. This adaptability allows us to lead a rich, broad, adventurous life.
When the body is working very well, we automatically adapt accurately. This is part of the miraculous self-regulatory mechanismsbuilt into every cell of our bodies. This accurate adaptability is a key to radiant health. When you are radiantly healthy, nothing will bother you. If it’s very hot, your body adjusts and you feel just fine. If it’s cold, you adapt to that. People who adapt easily tend to be successful at life. But stress depletes this adaptive energy. Eventually, as we age or face life’s challenges, we may not have enough adaptive Qi, and we start to misadjust. In addition, as we become less capable of adapting, we become more and more aware of the stress and a vicious cycle occurs.
The Chinese tonic herbs are among the best tools on earth for combating stress. Obviously, it is better to avoid stress in the first place, or at least to submit ourselves to a minimum. Along with meditation, yoga and deep breathing techniques, Chinese tonic herbs are the perfect natural way to help deal with stress. The herbs should not be taken like drugs to overcome stress. Tonics aren’t meant to be used like that. Adaptogenic tonic herbs are true dietary supplements that help the body to maintain balance under stressful conditions. By taking the adaptogenic herbs continuously, even when stressful factors are not strong, we can handle stress more easily and overcome our problems with less agitation.
It takes energy to handle stressful events and forces. The tonic herbs provide that energy. If you are in a weakened condition and a stressful event occurs, of course you will feel more vulnerable and more stressed than if you had plenty of energy to deal with the problem. That is natural. The point, then, is to never run out of adaptive energy – always have reserve energy so that when stress peaks you can deal with it without exhausting yourself.
The Primary Adaptogenic Herbs that Help You Fight Stress of Life
All of the herbs used in Chinese tonic herbalism contribute to our adaptability. That is the very nature of a “superior herb.” But some herbs have special reputations for helping people adapt and to handle stress in a superior way. Here are the super-adaptogens, the tonic herbs that everybody should be taking to protect themselves from stress. Furthermore, all of the herbs in this powerful formula are immune modulators, which means that these herbs can be used by anyone to support their normal healthy immune functions.
The Herbs in Super Adaptogen
Tibetan Rhodiola Root
Tibetan Rhodiola is an extraordinary herb. It is a rare herb that grows in one of the harshest environments in the world. In the Orient, it is called “Plateau Ginseng,” and the Tibetans considered Rhodiola to be a sacred herb. It has been used by the Tibetan people as a powerful adaptogenic vitalizer since the beginning of Tibetan civilization. Rhodiola has also been prized by the Chinese for over two thousand years ago. It is regarded as a life-prolonging, wisdom enhancing “superior herb.” However, the rarity of TibetanRhodiola has prevented it from becoming a well-known commodity outside of Asia until now. A relative known as Rhodiola rosea, from Russia, has become popular in popular herbalism because it can be cultivated and thus is much more available, but TibetanRhodiola is considered far superior in Asia. Tibetan Rhodiola is a superb herb for people who work very hard, either physically or mentally. Tibetan Rhodiola has been shown to improve endurance and mental capacity, including memory enhancement. It has been shown to be a superb tonic and energizer for those into physical fitness, and a superior tonic for those stuck behind a desk or at a computer terminal for long periods of time. Consumption of a small amount of Rhodiola extract significantly improves a person’s capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen. Tibetan Rhodiola is especially beneficial to those who live under stressful conditions. It has been shown that Tibetan Rhodiola reduces the body’s stress reactions, and thus relieves moderate mental stress as well. People stay focused and suffer far less from fatigue even under stress. It is the ideal herbal supplement for the modern world. It also supports immune functions.
Ginseng Root
Asian Panax Ginseng has been known for its ability to help people handle stress for thousands of years, and is now used by millions of people to help handle stress more effectively. Ginseng may be consumed on a regular basis so that when stress occurs, the body and mind are fully energized and ready. Asian Ginseng is a quintessential energizer, but also relieves common anxiety.
Gynostemma Leaf
Gynostemma is a quintessential adaptogenic herb. Gynostemma contains over 100 saponins that contribute to the adaptability of any individual who consumes it. Gynostemma eases tension and builds energy. It has general, safe, inflammo-regulatory action throughout the body without causing any side-effects. It has no medical benefits for any medical conditions, but helps maintain and support immune balance.
Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng)
Eleuthero is the equal of Ginseng in its adaptogenic capabilities. Some authorities think it is stronger. Eleuthero, which is also known as Siberian Ginseng, contains saponins which support the nervous system and endocrine system. It is an immune modulator (supports normal, balanced immune functions). It is an excellent mind tonic.
Astragalus Root
Astragalus Root is one of the most powerful natural agents in the world at regulating the functions of the body. It is a fundamental Qitonic and should be a part of any adaptogenic, anti-stress formula. In fact it is a quintessential double-directional herb, one that helps regulate the immune system. It is a superb adaptogen.
Reishi Mushroom
Reishi Mushroom is the perfect herb for these times. It is strengthening, protective and calming to the nerves. It is both a potent Qitonic and the ultimate Shen tonic. It is the perfect anti-stress herb. It helps to center you. When you’re taking Reishi you feel adaptive and you feel protected. Super Adaptogen is made with genuine “log-grown” Duanwood Reishi fruiting bodies.
Goji Berry
Goji provides the reserve energy necessary to handle just about any difficulty. It is said traditionally that constant consumption ofGoji will beget a cheerful attitude, and there’s nothing like good cheer to overcome stress. Goji, like the other super-tonicadaptogens, helps make you strong, relaxed and resilient.
Eucommia Bark
Eucommia is a superb Jing tonic, used to strengthen the back (especially the lower back), skeleton, and joints (especially the knees and ankles). Eucommia is believed to confer strength and flexibility to the ligaments and tendons. It is often used by martial artists, yoga practitioners, Qigong practitioners, and other athletes to strengthen the back, knees, and the entire body. Eucommia is widely used in China as a safe and effective sex tonic for men and women. It provides powerful and safe fundamental adaptive energy to the body.
He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum)
Constant consumption of this famous "longevity herb," whose full Latin name is Polygonum multiflorum, is said in the Orient to help “return an aging person to youthfulness and to keep a young person young.” It is an unsurpassed Yin Jing tonic, as well as a major blood tonic. It is said to increase energy and to clean the blood. As an Jing tonic, it is believed to be a powerful sexual tonic when consumed regularly. He Shou Wu supports sperm production in men and supports fertility in women. It is used in almost all tonics that are believed in the Orient to nurture the hair and teeth. This herb has been consumed by almost every Taoist that has lived for the past five hundred years, and is fundamental to the practice of the Taoist inner arts.
Schizandra Berry
Schizandra is a major adaptogenic herb. Schizandra helps keep you relaxed and alert and supports the nervous system. Schizandra is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to support concentration, memory and alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, Schizandra is mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and mental focus.
Steamed Rehmannia Root
Steamed Rehmannia is said to be the “Kidney’s own food." It is a Kidney tonic found in many formulations for rejuvenation and longevity. It is also considered a premium blood tonic and is said to benefit sexual functions in men and women. SteamedRehmannia is said to be warm in nature.
Polygonatum sibericum Root
Polygonatum Root is a Qi and Yin Jing tonic that is said to have a specific benefit on the brain. It is restorative to mental vitality, especially when the mind has become fatigued from work. It is often used in Shen and Jing tonics to nourish the brain and support the mind. This herb has been very popular among Taoists and all Qigong practitioners because of its supportive effect on the brain.
White Atractylodes Root
White Atractylodes is an important and potent Qi tonic that is famous for regulating the digestive functions and as a powerful energy booster.
Jujube Date
This special tonic fruit has been used since ancient times as a tonic, a blood cleanser, and as an important adjunctive herb to other tonics. Jujube is universally believed in the Orient to build strength and increase energy. Jujube supports healthy energy flow.
Ginkgo Leaf
Ginkgo is used to support blood circulation. The leaves of the Ginkgo tree are used in the Orient to "benefit the brain," by supporting memory and the ability to concentrate. It is now known that Ginkgo leaf extract supports oxygen supply to the brain and other organs, including the genitals and skin. It is traditionally used to support the heart and lungs.
Licorice Root
Licorice Root is an important tonic herb that harmonizes all the ingredients in any formula. It detoxifies the body and is a powerfuladaptogenic herb.*
Traditional Function: Nurtures all three Treasures. A complete tonic formulation. Tonifies the adaptive Qi.*

Dragon Herbs Changbai Deer Antler Drops 2fl oz (60ml)
£80.00
Deer Antler Drops
Deer Antler is considered to be one of the "big three" ultimate “herbs” (dietary supplements) of China - Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom and Deer Antler. All three are tonic herbs that have been used since pre-historic times to prolong life, improve energy, to protect the body and to promote wisdom. They are not used to treat any kind of ailment, but to support normal healthy life functions so as to promote wellbeing and longevity. Deer Antler is a Yang Jing herb, but it also tonifies Yin Jing, Qi, Blood and Shen. It therefore tonifies all three Treasures.
Deer Antler contains mucopolysaccharides that promote the regeneration the antler tissue in the deer. This same substance supports regeneration of tissue to those who consume it.
Deer Antler extract is considered to be the most powerful Yang tonic dietary supplement and is usually the main herb in any formula in which it is included. Deer Antler is used by athletes to support muscular strength. Deer Antler extract consumed as a dietary supplement supports the human in vivo production of IGF-1, a vital substance closely related to human growth hormone that regulates metabolism and hormone functions.
Deer Antler extract is used to support the skeletal structure, especially the back and knees. Deer Antler helps support cartilage and joint function.
As a dietary supplement that supports neurological functions, Deer Antler extract is also widely used to support mental power.
Deer antler has also been demonstrated to support cardiovascular function.
Deer Antler extract contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, also produced in the human body, that maintains elasticity of the skin and connective tissue.
Deer Antler is also well known as a sexual tonic for both men and women. Deer Antler is suitable to both men and women, though men will generally consume Deer Antler in larger quantities. It is a Yang tonic that helps restore sexual vigor and performance for decreased sexual function associated with aging.
Why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is Unique
Dragon Herbs Deer Antler is a unique product in the U.S. market. There are dozens of other “deer velvet” products available, but Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is the ONLY product made ENTIRELY from Deer Antler tips. What does that mean? And what does that mean for you?
Deer Antler grows from its “tips.” As it grows, the soft body of the antler hardens, while the growing tip remains soft and bio-chemically rich. It is just like the fresh leaves at the tip of a growing plant. It has been estimated that 90% of the biologically active constituents of the ENTIRE antler is contained in just the last inch of the antler, known as the "tip," even if the antler is 18 inches long. The tip of the antler is of course more expensive than the lower parts of the antler, because those deep into the trade know that this is the most valuable part. This has been true for a thousand years. However, since the tip contains most of the active constituents of the entire antler, it is in fact a fabulous value. It may cost three times as much, but it is at least 10 times as potent. Again, Dragon Herbs ONLY uses tips (the soft last inch of the deer antler) to make its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. We never use the "middles" or "bottoms" of the antler since these parts are hardened, dry and lack the chemical components that make Deer Antler biologically active in humans.
Unfortunately for consumers, other companies are now putting the word “tips” on their description of deer antler. They are doing this in response to Dragon Herbs educating the public about the differences in deer antler products. However, they show no evidence of actually using tips.
A deer antler, as sold in a Chinese herb shop, is divided into three divisions, tips, middles and bottoms. That part growing closest to the end, usually the last inch of each branch of the antler, is called the tip. The segment from that beginning of the tip to the fork of the antler is called the middle and the main trunk of the antler is called the bottom. All three segments of the deer antler are used in Chinese tonic herbalism. The bottoms, because they are the largest segment, are most commonly available and most widely used in commercial products. The middles and tips are generally only available in herb shops, except in rare products that feature these segments.
A Note about the Deer
Dragon Herbs deer are farmed in Changbai Mountain, and are certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health to be clean and safe. Since the deer are so valuable and since deer antler is essentially a renewable “crop,” deer are highly protected in all Asian countries. They thrive under the conditions established. The antler is cut off the live deer when the antler has developed either two or three branches, yet remains relatively soft (depending on the part of the antler) and covered by “velvet,” usually in the month of June in China.
The Dragon Herbs team has visited the deer farm of our supplier in a beautiful valley on the Western slope of Changbai Mountain, a volcanic region in Manchuria, on many occasions and can testify that the deer are in fantastic health and are well cared-for. The deer are fed their favorite natural diet, including mulberry leaves, their favorite food. The deer are housed in clean open sheds with corrals where they have 24/7 opportunity to move about and eat. They are allowed to run freely in the hills associated with the farm during the day, and at night return to the protected housing where they are kept safe from predators (wolves and large cats).
The deer used by Dragon Herbs are NOT killed to harvest their antlers. The antlers are humanely and painlessly collected from male deer in the early summer – when the antler is about six weeks old and still covered in a coat of “velvet” – females do not produce antler, except for elk, which Dragon Herbs does not use. After this harvesting, the deer then grow new antlers as the season progresses and this second set of antler is not harvested. Because the antlers that do grow into the fall are smaller, the male deer tend to fight considerably less. The life expectancy of the male deer from whom the antler are collected is significantly longer than that of wild deer, who often die as a result of excessive male-with-male libido-driven fighting and from starvation. Far more of the male deer mate as a result of this process, which makes them very happy indeed. Deer are highly valued in the Chinese culture and are respected and loved by their care givers. Deer are considered in Asia to be a “higher order” animal.
Quality - Different Species, Different Results
Selecting high quality deer antler is an art. There are many sources, grades, cuts and qualities --- and there are counterfeits. The antler plays a major part in male sexual role of the male deer. Larger antlers are produced by deer that are more sexual and this deer antler is more potent. However, size alone will tell you only a little about the quality of a selection of deer antler. Dragon Herbs has used the same established source of deer antler tips for many years.
Deer Antler can have a number of origins. Deer Antler entering the American market may originate in China, Russia, Mongolia, Alaska or New Zealand. All of these places have robust Deer Antler businesses. They all produce excellent deer; however, the quality will differ depending on the processing and the variety of deer.
Sika Deer is considered to be the best deer antler, but it is rare. These are small spotted deer that are natural to northeastern Asia. This kind of deer has been absolutely revered in Asia for its deer antler since ancient times. Over hunting reduced the supply to nearly zero, but they are now humanely farmed in northeastern China and their antler is again available in limited quantities. This deer is also known in China as the “spotted deer” and as the “flower deer,” since their white spots are actually shaped like a flower. You will see the Sika deer alongside Shou Lao, the God of Longevity, in old Chinese paintings, and also alongside Magu, the Goddess of Youth and Beauty. The symbolism is obvious. The Sika is a small deer and its antlers are likewise small. But small is not the issue, potency is. These deer are extremely well cared-for. This is the most valuable antler in the world.
Previously, Dragon Herbs only used Sika Deer Antler in its private reserve productions, but now it is available to everyone, so long as it is available each year.
And remember, the tips are by far the most precious and most expensive part of the deer antler. Due to our on-the-ground connections in Asia, we can provide this premium quality Deer Antler at the same price, or lower, than inferior products.
And remember, these deer are protected and live an astounding life. These deer live longer than fully wild deer. They are allowed to roam free during the daytime in local hills and forests, and then they return to their shelter at night where they are fed mulberry leaves, their favorite food. Do not fear for our deer, they have it very good.
Mallow Deer, also known as the “horse deer,” is another popular variety of deer from which their antler is harvested. This is the most common variety of deer antler available in China. It is very good (but not as good as Sika deer antler). Mallow deer farms are abundant in northeast China. These very hardy, very large deer (thus the name “horse deer”) produce large antlers and therefore are valuable to the farmers on a pound-by-pound basis. These deer are well cared-for.
Red Deer from New Zealand is commonly sold in the U.S. market. New Zealand is a very special place. It is clean and its government keeps it that way. Deer farming is a big industry in New Zealand. Red deer produce quality antler, though not as potent as the antler from Sika or Mallow deer. These deer are very well cared-for. A large number of the New Zealand deer are slaughtered for their meat, which is consumed in Australia and exported overseas. The deer are not nearly as protected in New Zealand as they are in China.
Dragon Herbs has established a permanent relationship with a Sika Deer cooperative in Changbai Mountain. Currently, due to our good fortune, Dragon Herbs only uses Sika Deer to produce all of its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. And from these Sika Deer, we only use tips cut from the last ¾ inch of the antler.
This is why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is a unique deer antler product in the American market.

Deer Antler is the most precious and the most potent of the substances that fortify the yang energy of the Kidney. Deer antler is widely used in Asia, and now throughout the world, to support adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is universally believed in the Orient to support sexual strength and to support virility and fertility. In the highly regarded tenth century Taoist manual on health and sexual conduct, The Essence of Medical Prescriptions, compiled by a Chinese physician living in Japan by the name of TambaYasuyori, it was said that:
“There is nothing better than deer antler to cause a man to be robust and unaffected by age, not to tire in the bedroom, and not to deteriorate either in energy or in facial coloration.”
Deer antler is commonly used in combination with most of the major Qi tonic herbs such as Ginseng and Astragalus, and with all of the major Yin and Yang Jing-building herbs such as Goji Berry, Morinda root, He Shou Wu, Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), Schizandra, Mountain Ant, etc.
Although deer antler has always been used to help build blood and support blood circulation, modern research has supported deer antler’s reputation as a heart tonic. Particularly the alcohol extract of deer antler is consumed for this purpose. Deer antler is tonic to the marrow, which produces blood. Marrow tends to degenerate as we age and deer antler is believed to support marrow maintenance. This may be a major aspect of deer antler’s youth preserving ability.
Consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity.
Scientific Knowledge
Deer antler is a rare type of organ in the higher animal kingdom. It is one of the few complex organ structures which regenerates in an annual rhythm and which will regenerate if shed, cut or broken off. This regenerative power is what has most intrigued scientists in recent years, just as it has the Asian people through the ages.
Studies conducted in Europe indicate that the ability to regenerate is partially due to the rich supply of substances known as ectosaponins. These complex chemical agents are found more abundantly in lower animals, in which the ectosaponins cause a wide variety of tissues to regenerate. The ectosaponin in deer antler is very similar to ectosaponins found at the tail bases of many lizards, such as the Gecko lizard, and in the legs of star fish. If the tale is broken off a Gecko or similar lizard or the appendages broken off a starfish, these appendages re-grow --- bone, connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, flesh and all (no bones in star fishes). The ectosaponins extracted from deer antler, as well as from Gecko and star fish all have shown remarkable regenerative effects on all types of tissue, including nerve tissue, which generally does not regenerate significantly.
Research indicates that moderate doses of the alcohol extract of deer antler supports cardiovascular function by helping to support cardio-regulatory mechanisms, and by supporting circulation.
Numerous studies done in China, Japan, Russia and Korea have shown that deer antler supports muscular and mental endurance, supports sleep and supports normal appetite. Deer antler has been shown to support the oxygen uptake of the brain, liver and kidneys in laboratory animals. It also supports red and white blood cell production in laboratory animals.
Deer antler extract provides minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients.
Deer antler supports insulin-like growth factor IGF-1 functions in the human body.
• IGF-1 supports immune functions
• IGF-1 supports muscular the metabolic functions that provide strength and endurance
• IGF-1 supports normal growth
• IGF-1 supports cardiovascular functioning
• IGF-1 supports sleep functions
• IGF-1 supports eyesight, including night vision.*

The Herbs in Magu's Treasure
Deer Antler Tips
Deer Antler is widely believed in the Orient to strengthen all aspects of a person's life, and is considered to be an ultimate primal essence (Jing) tonic. It is said to be a warm Yang tonic, although it is also known to contain Yin essence and is a major blood tonic. Extracts of Deer Antler have been found to strengthen the central nervous system and the heart. Deer Antler is believed to strengthen the mind and to enliven the Spirit (Shen). It is also widely used to improve mental power. Deer Antler contains many natural minerals and other nutrients. Deer Antler is the most precious and the most potent of the substances that fortify the Yang energy of the Kidney, Yang Jing. It is widely used in Asia to strengthen adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is universally believed in the Orient to build sexual strength and to increase virility and fertility. Deer antler is used to build blood and improve circulation. Deer antler has been found to benefit the cardiovascular system. Deer antler is tonic to the marrow, which produces blood, including our white and red blood cells. Marrow tends to degenerate as we age and deer antler is believed to slow down or reverse this process. This is a major aspect of deer antler’s youth preserving ability. Overall, deer antler is mainly used as a rejuvenating agent. Short term use is believed to quickly build strength and power, while consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness or even reverse aging, and to enhance longevity. Deer are not generally killed for their antler. The soft antler of the deer is removed from the deer when it has grown just two or three spikes and is still covered by velvet. The deer grows new antlers that same season, which are not harvested. The tip of the antler is the most potent part because it contains the most active substances.
Deer Placenta
Because of its role in nurturing new life, Placenta is considered to be the most profound substance for replenishing Yin and Yang Jing and blood. Deer Placenta is also considered to be a major Qi tonic. It is the dominant ingredient in many of the greatest "restorative" formulations, where quick and powerful replenishment is required. Deer Placenta (a 20:1 concentrated extract) is the preferred source of Placenta at this time. Deer Placenta is prepared by high-technology pharmaceutical factories in New Zealand from certified clean healthy deer.
Pearl
Pearl has a tremendous reputation in China as both a beauty tonic and as a Shen tonic. Recent Chinese medical texts credit pearl with the ability to clarify the skin, relieve uneasiness of the heart and mind, to benefit reproduction, to relieve “wandering arthritis,” to relieve internal fever, to clear sputum, to remove visual obstacles and improve eyesight, to promote muscle development and to invigorate blood circulation.
As a beauty tonic, pearl is hard to beat. The components in pearl powder help heal blemishes and maintain the health of the skin by participating in the metabolic activities of the skin. Pearl promotes the regeneration of new cells and makes the skin smooth, fine, elastic and naturally beautiful. High quality pearl powder can promote the activities of the important natural antioxidant enzyme known as SOD, and can help prevent the development of melanin, which causes freckles and dark patches on the skin. It can help prevent the skin from becoming old looking, wrinkled and sagging. This is partly due to its stimulation of SOD activity and partly due to other capacities and nutrients. Consistent use of pearl powder can eliminate blemishes such as colored spots and even pimples and boils. Constant use can help assure that the skin will age much more slowly and that it will not be easily harmed by either time or the elements. Pearl is one of the great secrets of the most beautiful women of the Orient.
Pearl is also a powerful Shen stabilizer. It is among the elite substances of this type known. It can relieve uneasiness, nervousness, anxiety and tension. Pearl promotes sound sleep, prevents nerve-disorders and nerve weakness, and is commonly used to prevent or overcome fatigue. Consistent use helps a person maintain their energy and vitality. It is an ideal Shen tonic and is the main ingredient in the finest Shen tonic formulations. Pearl contains dozens of minerals, including: calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, strontium, copper, selenium, silicon, titanium, and more. Pearl contains calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium phosphate, ferric oxide, silica. But to many people’s surprise, pearl is not just made up of minerals. Pearl contains many amino acids (eight of the amino acids are “essential” – in other words, they cannot be produced in the body but are required for health). Various components inPearl participate in DNA and RNA metabolic activities, and thus can promote and accelerate cell renewal. Mucopolysaccharides inPearl have been shown to prevent wrinkling and to increase libido and sexual potency in humans.
Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly is natural food substance produced by worker bees for their queen. This incredibly nutritious whole food is rich in a very broad spectrum of important vitamins, minerals and other substances essential to radiant health. Royal Jelly is believed to be an important beauty aid and is said to beautify the skin, eyes and hair. It is widely available in many commercially prepared products, or it can be obtained fresh, straight from the hive. Fresh Royal Jelly can have profound health benefits.
White Peony Root
White Peony root is an important blood tonic used to relax muscle and cleanse the blood. It is one of the most highly prized women's herbs used traditionally to help regulate the female hormonal cycle and to tonify and purify the blood. It is also used as a pain reducing agent and as an emotional stabilizer by women. It is said to help relieve cramps and spasms anywhere in the body. In particular, it is considered to be highly effective in relieving menstrual cramps. Peony root is also believed to extend life and to promote beauty. An old Chinese saying states that "a woman who consumes Peony root regularly becomes as beautiful as the Peony flower itself."
Longan Fruit
Longan is a wonderful and delicious tonic fruit used as a superior blood tonic, to nurture the heart, and to add luster and beauty to the skin. It is believed among Chinese women that Longan is not only a great tonic for the skin, but is also a fantastic sex tonic. For that reason, Longan is considered as a special tonic for women who wish to be both beautiful and sexually active — it has a 2000 year reputation as a love tonic. It is said that the most beautiful woman in the history of China, Yang Kuei Fei consumed Longan every day. It is believed to have a calming effect and to add radiance to the eyes.
Schizandra Berry
Schizandra is a famous tonic historically consumed by Chinese royalty and by Taoist masters. It is one of the few herbs thatcontains all three treasures. Schizandra is renowned as a beauty tonic and is considered to be a youth preserving herb. It has been used for centuries to make the skin soft, moist and radiant. It is also said to be a powerful tonic to the brain and mind, and is believed in China to improve memory. It is also said to be an excellent sexual tonic when consumed regularly. It is said to help produce abundant sexual fluids, increase sexual endurance and to strengthen the whole body. It is used in many tonic formulations as an "astringent." Schizandra has a wonderful multi layered flavor when processed properly.
Schizandra develops the primary energies of life, and generates vitality and radiant beauty when used regularly for some time. If used for 100 days successively, Schizandra is said to purify the blood, sharpen the mind, improve memory, rejuvenate the Kidney energy (especially the sexual functions in both men and women), and cause the skin to become radiantly beautiful.
The Taoists especially revered Schizandra. This is because Schizandra contains all five elemental energies in abundance, contains all three treasures in abundance, and enters all twelve meridians. It is considered it to be the quintessential herbal substance. Women who practiced Taoist lovemaking practices for the purpose of retaining the youth and beauty all consumed Schizandra daily.
Schizandra is said to increase the Water Qi in the Kidney. In particular, it is said to vastly increase the “water of the genital organs,” referring to the sexual fluids. It is famous for its ability to relieve sexual fatigue. Schizandra is also said to increase circulation in and sensitivity of the female genitals. Many women claim increased genital warmth and sensation after using Schizandra for a period of time. The Chinese sexual classics claim that continuous use by a woman will increase the amount of “female elixir,” a euphemism for vaginal secretions, during intercourse. Schizandra is considered to have “aphrodisiac” qualities, especially when combined with other Kidney tonics. Furthermore, Schizandra is one of the most important astringent herbs used in Chinese herbalism. An astringent herb conserves fluids, and in the case of Schizandra, it tends to contain sexual fluids until the appropriate time of release. Thus, consuming Schizandra for a period of time, one tends to build up sexual fluids.
Schizandra is widely used to beautify the skin and to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun and wind. Due to the astringent quality of Schizandra, the skin tends to hold its moisture and becomes full and beautiful. It has always been very popular with the wealthy men and women of China because of its youth preserving and rejuvenating effects. I have seen the benefits of this herb with my own eyes hundreds of times in my life. People who start taking Schizandra regularly all change for the better. Their skin virtually glows and becomes clear and fine after several months.
This herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to sharpen concentration, improve memory and increase alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, some people consider Schizandra mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and improved focus. It has been demonstrated that human intellectual activity can be enhanced and work efficiency increased by consuming Schizandra. Various tests have shown that moderate therapeutic doses of Schizandra can improve various activities requiring concentration, fine coordination, sensitivity and endurance. The tests in humans confirming Schizandra’s efficacy in these areas range from threading needles to running marathons.
Dang Gui Root
Dang Gui (Tang Kwei or Angelica sinensis) is used as a superb blood tonic. It is also an important blood-vitalizing herb (e.g., it improves blood circulation). Dang Gui is most famous as a women's tonic, because women so often use it as a blood tonic and to regulate the female menstrual cycle. It is found in most women's tonic preparations.
Cynomorium Root
Cynomorium is considered to be a superb tonic to the primal Yang essence and is thus used in many tonics for both men and women. It is widely believed in the Orient to be a superb longevity herb and an excellent sexual tonic and stimulant. It is said to strengthen the bones. It is an especially excellent Yang tonic for women since it is also an anti-aging, moistening herb that fosters beautiful skin. Many women feel that it is a fabulous sex tonic (even an aphrodisiac).
Lycium Fruit (Goji Berry)
This delicious fruit is very widely used as an excellent Yin Jing and blood tonic. Regular consumption of Lycium is traditionally believed to lead to a long and happy life. It is said that prolonged consumption of Lycium will promote cheerfulness and vitality. Lycium is also said to brighten the eyes and improve vision. It is said that Lycium strengthens the legs and enhances sexual function. Lycium fruit contains polysaccharides that have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system. Lycium is also very rich in vitamin C and in B vitamins. Furthermore, it is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene, of all known plants on earth and is thus a powerful antioxidant. It is a very great woman's herb.
Codonopsis
Codonopsis is one of the most famous and widely used Chinese tonic herbs. It is very mild and without any side effects, yet it is a superb Qi tonic. It invigorates the Spleen and Lung functions so that Qi is replenished and it promotes the production of body fluids. Codonopsis is also an excellent blood tonic and a major immune system tonic. It is believed to have an action similar to that of Ginseng, but milder. Its blood building quality makes it especially good for people who are weakened due to illness, and by women, since women lose blood regularly. Codonopsis is extremely effective at relieving chronic fatigue. It is used in women's formulations to build blood. Since many women are slightly blood deficient, this is an important quality of the herbs that women should consume. Codonopsis is mild yet it has powerful strengthening effects, especially on the digestive, respiratory and immune systems. It is rich in immune stimulating polysaccharides that are beneficial to everyone.

Dragon Herbs Eucommia Drops 2fl oz (60ml)
£25.00
Eucommia Drops
A perfectly balanced vegetarian Yang and Yin tonic herb
Eucommia is the primary plant-sourced herb in Chinese herbalism used to tonify the Kidney Yang functions, in particular as it affects the skeletal structure. It was the second herb ever described in a Chinese herbal text, by Shennong nearly 2,500 years ago.
Eucommia is primarily known as a powerful Yang Jing tonic. It strengthens Yang throughout the body, and has a profound supportive benefit to the skeletal structure. It is also a strong Yin Essence (Yin Jing) nourishing herb. Because it provides both Yin and Yang, it is a superb herb for men and women alike and can be used by almost anybody to help support the functions of the skeletal and endocrine systems, and to help support normal healthy sexual functions.
Eucommia’s first fame is in its Kidney tonifying effects. It is in fact the primary herb in Chinese tonic herbalism for building a strong, sturdy, flexible skeletal structure and to support normal growth. It is used to help strengthen the bones, ligaments and tendons.
Eucommia is one of the few herbs in Chinese tonic herbalism that is sufficiently powerful, balanced and broad spectrum that it may be used alone. However, it may be combined with any number of other tonic herbs in a formulation or tonic herbal program designed to support the Yin and Yang of the Kidney.
Eucommia is the quintessential example of a safe, mild and potent Kidney tonic that builds Jing.*

Dragon Herbs High Mountain Shilajit 60caps (450mg)

Shilajit
A natural substance with life giving power
There is really nothing else on earth like shilajit.
Shilajit is a rare tonic “herbal” substance collected by local inhabitants in the south-western Himalayas and as far north as the northern Heaven Mountains. It has been used for thousands of years as a panacea and anti-aging tonic. Shilajit is regarded by many master herbalists as the most important natural tonic substance of Ayurveda (the traditional Indian health care system). In Sanskrit, Shilajit means "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness."
Shilajit is an “exudate” that oozes out of cracks in the Himalayan rocks and cliffs in the summer months. It is composed of organic plant material that is thought to have been compressed by rock for thousands, of years. After it is collected, it is naturally purified and processed into a potent, high-quality extract.
Shilajit is extremely rich in plant-source ‘organic’ minerals. Most assays show that shilajit, depending on its source, contains between 70 and 85 complexed minerals and trace elements. Shilajit is a humic substance, humus being the natural material that is formed when soil microorganisms decompose animal and plant material into elements usable by plants. Shilajit is astoundingly rich in nutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, and anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal phytochemicals.
The main active component in shilajit, to our knowledge, are macromolecules known as fulvic acids. Shilajit is extremely rich in fulvic acids (Dragon Herbs Shilajit, from high altitude in the Himalayas, contains approximately 50% fulvic acids). Fulvic acids are one of nature’s most astounding and miraculous molecular substances, perhaps rivaling DNA in its importance to life on this planet.
The Science (As We Know It)
Scientists know a lot about fulvic acids and their colloidal nature. But what is not known about fulvic acids and colloids is far greater.
Fulvic acids are huge molecules with the “average” chemical formula of C135H182O95N5S2.
Fulvic acids are one of the largest classes of dissolved organic matter, but from a scientific point of view, they are poorly defined and of unclear origin. All fulvic acids studied show the same pattern in the elemental composition of their molecules and a large similarity in the molecular sets. It is thought that the elemental and structural regularity of fulvic acid molecules does not indicate one common precursor material and formation process, but that their regularity is due to both the strong reworking of source materials in the environment and the valency of the three elements (C, H, O) from which most fulvic acid molecules are formed. Valency is the power of an atom or radical to combine with other atoms measured by the number of electrons which an atom will give, take, or share to form a chemical bond; thus valency is a measure of the reactivity of an element or active molecule. Poly-carboxylic acids with very limited number of hydroxy groups are the major compound class in fulvic acid isolates. It appears that fulvic acids are metastable molecules that characterize a state of transition of diverse precursor compounds during their oxidation.
Himalayan shilajit is believed to contain a unique range of fulvic acids, which over the period of human history, has been discovered to have specific health benefits to humans. This is probably a result of the specific chemical nature of the special physical conditions and forces, and the rocks and biological materials from which it was created.
Fulvic acid is the considered to be the most powerful natural electrolyte known (valence). It enhances the permeability of cell membranes, and can improve the permeability of the digestive tract, renal membranes and capillaries. Fulvic Acids greatly enhance the bioavailability of trace minerals required by the body to function optimally. The fulvic acids available in Shilajit have the ability to restore electrical balance to damaged cells. When these fulvic acids are present in bodily and cellular fluids, minerals become ionized – in fact, they become part of the fulvic acid itself. Thus they become “colloidal.”
Colloids are often called a "fourth state of matter" (the other three states being gas, liquid and solid). Colloids are microscopic particles suspended in some sort of liquid medium. The particles are between one nanometer (1 nm) and one micrometer (1 μm) in size and can be macromolecules (such as fulvic acid). Thus colloids are particles larger than molecules, but smaller than grains of sand. Mere size, however, is not the important thing about colloids. The overwhelmingly important property of colloids is that they have a very large surface area. To some degree, they are all surface and their properties are those of their surfaces. This is highly significant in the biological world.
Within bodily and cellular fluids, and as part of the fulvic acid complex, minerals become organic. In this form, minerals are safe. As such, they are perfectly bioactive and bioavailable in living tissue. Fulvic acid then delivers these living essences to the cells.
The Functions of Shilajit
Fulvic acid assists every stage of cellular metabolism. It is thus a quintessential Qi tonic, a substance that improves human vitality.
One of the main functions of fulvic acid in nature is to neutralize toxins, which is a primary traditional herbal function attributed to shilajit. In fact, shilajit is nature’s great detoxifier. Fulvic acid has the ability to neutralize free radicals throughout the body and to detoxify simple toxins and complex organic toxins. This is due to its huge surface area and enormous total valence.
Shilajit is traditionally considered to be a strong kidney tonic. From a Chinese perspective, it is a superb Jing tonic, since it increases the primal energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power.
Why Take Shilajit as a Supplement?
Shilajit is not readily explained by routine chemical analysis. Fulvic acid itself is almost infinitely complex. Shilajit has always been considered an alchemical substance with life giving powers beyond comprehension. Currently, scientists are exploring the idea that fulvic acid, and shilajit, functions as a unique “messaging relay system” that is activated when it comes into contact with living organisms. Because of the amazing complexity of the molecule, with its many attached molecules, fulvic acid can pass on unique information relating to environmental conditions and immunity. It plays a huge role in the adaptability of plants (all plants utilize the fulvic acid in humus), and most likely the same is true in humans. It has been asserted that fulvic acid assists in activating protective responses in the body that are able to be replicated, and remain with the organism for life, even with just one contact.

Dragon Herbs Tribulus 100Caps (460mg)
£38.00
Tribulus
Tribulus Terrestris
Dragon Herbs Tribulus is a potent herb that has been introduced into the world herbal market in a new standardized state. Until recently, the seeds of this plant were used as a medicinal herb in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. However, scientific researchers inBulgaria have discovered that when Tribulus is organically-grown under certain strict conditions and harvested at a newly discovered, specific time, the herb has amazing hormone stimulating, and hormone modulating potency.
Chemistry
Dragon Herbs Tribulus is extraordinarily rich in substances of potential biological significance, including plant steroids, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, unsaturated acids, oils, calcium, phosphorus, iron and protein, which individually and in concert, are responsible for its many and varied physiological effects.
The presence and quantities of the pharmacologically important metabolites depend on the parts of the plants used (above ground parts: leaves and fruits and, to a lesser extent, the shoots) and on the conditions of growth, cultivation and harvesting. The following ensures that Trilovin™ delivers the highest possible quality and natural content of active metabolites:
The use of specific, unique and pharmaceutically oriented methods of growing and harvesting Tribulus terrestris in Bulgaria
Use of only the above ground portions of the plant
The subsequent handling, and processing in the United States
There are three groups of active phytochemicals in Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris.
1. Dioscin, protodioscin, diosgenin, etc.
This first group has an effect on sexual performance and may treat various sexual disorders, sexual energy level and strength by increasing the percentage of free testosterone level for men, and effects pregnenolone, progesterone, estrogen, etc. The hormone balancing effects of Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris for women makes this product extremely effective for premenstrual syndrome and menopausal syndrome.
2. Sterols – beta-sitosterols, stigma, etc.
This second group protects the prostate from swelling and in combination with the X steroidal saponins (third group listed below), protects the prostate.
3. Proprietary steroidal saponins currently referred to as X steroidal saponins.
These X steroidal saponins affect the immune system. They have been demonstrated to possess anti-bacterial and anti-viral (especially anti-herpes) effects.
History
Tribulus terrestris has played an important role in folk medicine for millennia. The ancient Greeks used it as a general tonic, diuretic, and mild laxative. In India, Tribulus has been used since ancient times for its diuretic and aphrodisiac properties. Tribulus is widely recommended in Ayurvedic rejuvenative formulations, particularly in the treatment of sexual deficiencies. In China, the herb has been a frequent component of therapy for a variety of disorders affecting the liver and cardiovascular system, and particularly as an anti-inflammatory agent for the kidney and urinary tract.
For all of its therapeutic and adaptogenic effects, the most common cross cultural use of the herb has, nevertheless, been in the treatment of infertility in women, impotence in men, and for increasing the libido of both sexes. It was the search for safe, non-hormonal treatments for infertility and other reproductive disorders that inspired scientists at the Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria, to investigate Tribulus terrestris in the early 1960’s, based on its widespread and seemingly successful use in such applications. Their studies of the chemistry and pharmacology, plus the physiological and medicinal effects confirmed in clinical studies have attracted world-wide attention. As a result, standardized pharmaceutical preparations of the herb were developed. By 1981, these were incorporated into mainstream medical treatment of various sexual disorders in much of Eastern Europe.
Until 1985, little was known about the plant in America other than by a small group of scientists, herbalists, and doctors trained in Oriental and Ayurvedic traditions. Even then, little notice was taken of the remarkable aspects of Tribulus terrestris, and it is only recently that the fitness-enhancing benefits of Tribulus terrestris were brought to the attention of the athletic and body building community in the United States. This was as a result of the use of Tribulus terrestris by Eastern European Olympic and world champion strength and power athletes. The first feature article on Tribulus terrestris in a major American magazine was published in the September 1996 issue of Muscle & Fitness. Since then, interest in and the demand for the herb has increased dramatically.
Safety
No adverse effects have been noted in any of the clinical trials or human research studies. Toxicity is extremely low in both acute and long term animal studies (based on the animal data, a human would have to consume approximately 100 times the average recommended dose of 750mg per day). There are no contraindications, and no negative effects are presently known to exist when Trilovin™ (standardized Tribulus terrestris) is used as a nutritional supplement or when used as adjunctive therapy in the absence of other prescribed medications.
Availability
Dragon Herbs Tribulus is cultivated and harvested in the environmentally clean area of Topolovgrad, Bulgaria, according to the specific methods developed for pharmaceutical use. It is imported with international documentation regarding origin, authenticity, radiological contamination and chemical analysis and has been approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration since 1996. The pure standardized Tribulus terrestris is available in capsules and as a hydro-alcoholic extract.
Bulgarian vs Chinese and Indian Tribulus Terrestris
Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris differs significantly from the Tribulus Terrestris extracts from India and China.
Using a special method of harvesting and pharmaceutical preparation, Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris has a very high concentration of steroidal saponins. Indian and Chinese Tribulus Terrestris do not.
Chinese and Indian Tribulus Terrestris are made from a different part of the plant and is harvested at a different time of the year. The photochemistry of Chinese and Indian Tribulus Terrestris is considerably different from that of Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris.
Chinese and Indian Tribulus Terrestris is used as a diuretic, and is used to treat kidney stones. Chinese and Indian Tribulus Terrestris does not have the same pharmacological and physiological functions as Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris. At the best, Indian and Chinese Tribulus Terrestris have but a trace of group 1 and 1 phytochemicals, and contain virtually no X steroidal saponins. The Indian and Chinese producers extract for furostanols, which has no equivalent pharmacological effect to the Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris.
Furostanols are not the active ingredient used to affect sexual physiology and to regulate hormone balance. As they exist in Indian and Chinese Tribulus Terrestris, they are not absorbed and utilized by the body. However, all of the active Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris are readily absorbed and utilized in the body. This explains the radical difference in the effects of Tribulus Terrestris from different sources.
Summary
Dragon Herbs Tribulus is a superb nutritional supplement for most men and women. It helps regulate hormonal balance and has positive effects on a number of fundamental physiological functions. It is useful for those who wish to build lean muscle as well as by those who desire to experience improvement in their sex lives. It is a superb supplement for women who are experiencing problems associated with menopause and with PMS.
Tribulus may be combined with a wide range of herbs to enhance or modify its actions. Ask your herbalist to recommend the correct combination to suit your needs.

Dragon Herbs Will Strengthener (formerly Will Power) 100 Capsules (500mg)

Will Strengthener
a.k.a. Will Power
It is said in the Far East that “will power” is the fourth Treasure – the first three Treasures being Jing (Essence and Life Force), Qi (Vitality and Protection), and Shen (Spirit and Mind). This ranking as a “Treasure” is of profound importance to those of us who desire to evolve. With will power, we can achieve even superhuman power. With will power, we can resist the temptations that drag us down and slow down or block our progress to enlightenment.
The understanding of will power as a superior human trait goes back to the dawn of mankind. The development of will power has been made part of the Taoist and Buddhist practices for over two thousand years. Long, long ago, Taoists incorporated herbs into their Taoist Path programs. Herbs, primarily tonic herbs, play a key role in the promotion of radiant health and clear state of mind required for Taoist training. Certain herbs became known to promote different mental capabilities. Several herbs specifically became known to promote a sense of purpose and to be able to foster will power. Thus formulations composed of these herbs were created and passed on from teacher to student over hundreds and thousands of years. Dragon Herbs Will Strengthener is one of these ancient formulas.
Will Strengthener is based on a wonderful tonic herb now called Polygala. Polygala is combined with herbs that strengthen Qi and Shen, helping us to remain "centered" during stress and thus allowing us to persevere through difficulties. Will Strengthener can be used by anyone wishing to build will power in order to achieve new heights and to break old habits, no matter how deeply engrained. *
Will Strengthener opens the Penetrating Vessel, also known as the Central Channel or Chong Mei. The Penetrating Vessel is an energy channel that runs inside the body from the perineum (a point between the legs) to the crown of the head, in front of the spine and through the brain. All of the major energy centers of the body are located along its route. These are known in Chinese as the Dantian (and in India as the Chakras). All in all, there are ten Dantian. Three of the Dantian are considered so major that they are the primary fields of energy focused upon by adepts to attain enlightenment and “immortality.”
Will Strengthener opens the Penetrating Vessel and helps to connect the various energy centers. In particular, it helps to connect the lower Dantian in the abdomen, associated with the Kidneys, with the Middle Dantian associated with the Heart. This opening helps to reconnect primordial healthy union of Heart and Kidney, uniting physical love with emotional love and helping to regulate Heart and Kidney, Water and Fire.
A similar formula was traditionally used in Chinese Taoist and Buddhist monasteries. When new monks entered the monastery they were given this formula to help them let go of old habits, attachments and addictions. It also provided the energy and focus necessary to take on the many new disciplines and challenges associated with spiritual practice. This is a very effective and practical formula.
Will Strengthener is one of the most useful “tools” in all of herbalism. All spiritual practice centers around the ability to “let go” and to form healthy, natural, harmonious patterns. This formula dramatically supports this process.
Some individuals may notice significant attitude and habit-related changes immediately, while others may need up to several weeks or even months. Eventually, when the energy centers are reconnected, the individual will begin to notice that they have eliminated bad habits.
This formula may cause abundant dreaming in some individual at the beginning or when it really starts working. These dreams will always prove valuable in the individual’s growth and are not to be feared or overlooked. Will Strengthener should always be used with other tonic herbs to build and regulate the Three Treasures, and may be used with remedial herbs to correct overt imbalances. This formula is a “Shen stabilizing” formula and may be used by those experiencing emotional upheaval.
The Herbs in Will Strengthener
Polygala Root
Polygala is one of the truly extraordinary tonic herbs in the entire Asian tonic herbal system. This herb first attained wide use in Taoist 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 Shen tonic to relax the mind, and calm the emotions. However, it does not relax the mind in entirely the same manner as many Shen stabilizing herbs --- Dragon Bone and Polygonum stem for example.
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. The “Will Strengthener” is believed to have the ability to support that part of the psyche which we call the “Will.” Taoists have long recommended using Polygala to support the focusing of the mind and to empower our thoughts so that they may be made real. The Taoists taught that our creative visualization, which they call Yi, could be brought to reality by the Will. Thus the Will had to be strengthened. In fact, the Will is considered to by the fourth Treasure in what otherwise is called the Three Treasures system. Thus Polygala, as a Will-strengthening herb, ranked extremely highly on the list of important herbs in the Taoist pharmacopoeia.
It supports our Will to do new things, to achieve new heights. It supports our Will so that we can start to work on a new project, to start exercising, to start and continue whatever we need to do to grow, to become a great human being. That is the magic of Polygala, the “Will Strengthener.”
The Love Herb
Polygala has another unique quality that sets it apart from most other herbs, including the tonic herbs. It has the ability to connect the Kidney (sexual) energy with the Heart (love) energy. It does this by opening the energy flow between the Heart and Kidney known as the Penetrating Vessel. The Penetrating Vessel is one of the energy channels that regulate the functions of the body-mind. It is called a “psychic channel” by the Taoists. It is called a psychic channel because the flow of energy in this channel can be controlled by those who are adept in “inner alchemy” (the yogic and tantric arts).
Commonly, this vessel is blocked, resulting in a de-linking of our sexual power and our emotional feelings. It is essential for our true health and well being that feelings of love and the functions of sex are united. Consuming Polygala for a period of time will have this result. Polygala, the main ingredient in Dragon Herbs Will Strengthener, provides a unique power to deepen our experience and our feelings, and to bring new levels of happiness into our lives.
Spirit Poria
Spirit Poria is a very powerful Shen stabilizing herb that calms the mind and heart. It is the mycelium of a fungus known as Poria cocos that grows on the deep roots of old pine trees. Spirit Poria is specifically the center of the fungal mass, where the host wood root runs. The pine root is allowed to remain and represents about 20% of each slice of Spirit Poria. The chemistry and the energy of the wood is changed by the mushroom and is no longer simply pine root.
This ancient fungus is used to stabilize Shen and calm the mind, to support the Spleen and transform dampness. It is tonic to Shen and Qi associated with the Heart, Spleen and Kidney functions. Spirit Poria is a very good Shen tonic herb. It was used by Taoists and has been held in the highest esteem by spiritual seekers in Asia. It is believed by the Taoists to have a very special power to lift Shen and to help develop the Spirit. It has acquired a special reputation for its overall emotional balancing benefits.
By stabilizing the emotions, the true mind is able to develop fully, unhindered by emotional distraction. Spirit Poria has the ability to move water and support the immune functions.
Dragon Bone
Dragon Bone is the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals such as mastodon, wooly rhinoceros, hipparion, deer, oxen, etc. Most Dragon Bone is chunks of white mineralized vertebral or extremities bone. We believe that most of the Dragon Bone obtained by Dragon Herbs is derived from hairy rhinoceros, and its authenticity as fossilized bone has been determined by laboratories specializing in this analysis in China. This is NOT an animal product. It is a mineral supplement.
Dragon Bone is an extremely useful "herbal" substance. Dragon Bone, being a mineral, is rich in calcium and other trace minerals that can benefit the body in many ways. It is used to relieve irritability, anger, tension and dizziness caused by hyperactivity of Yang. Dragon Bone has wonderful benefits for those experiencing mental and emotional agitation and anxiety.
Taoists practitioners and Chinese Buddhists often used Dragon Bone at the initial stages of their training in order to calm the mind so that they could make quick progress in their meditation practices. Since agitation was considered to be anathema to a Taoist, Dragon Bone provided a powerful tool in gaining a grip on one’s emotions. Of course, the Taoists combined the consumption of Shen stabilizing herbs with mind training, and the results were quick and profound.
Dragon Bone's calming effect can be just as useful in our modern, generally hectic society. In fact, Dragon Bone is one of the most useful and effective substances in Chinese herbalism. This rich source of minerals has excellent relaxing effects on the nerves and muscles.
Astragalus Root, Codonopsis Root, Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng) and Licorice Root are very powerful Qi tonic herbs. Dragon Bone is extremely effective at restraining night sweats in weakened individuals, especially when taken with Jing and Qi tonic herbs such as Codonopsis Root, Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng), Licorice Root and Astragalus Root – as it is in Will Strengthener. Because Will Strengthener contains these four powerful adaptogenic tonic herbs, it has long term anti-stress activity and is a powerful protector. It is very beneficial to the digestive system and to the production of energy from the food we eat. It supports our capacity to breathe deeply and to extract Qi from the air we inhale.
Aged Citrus Peel and Licorice Root are Qi regulators that aid in the digestion and assimilation of these herbs.
Ophiopogon Tuber moistens the lungs and cools the Heart. Asparagus Root (Tuber) nurtures the lungs, Stomach and Kidney and provides Yin. Asparagus Root is an excellent heart tonic that allows Shen to flourish. It does this by cooling the Heart in the same manner that Ophiopogon does.
Schizandra Berry is a powerful tonic herb. It is a staple in tonic formulations used by those who are trying to transform their lives on mental, psychic and emotional levels. Schizandra has been found to support memory and mental processes. Ophiopogon, Asparagus Root and Schizandra all give support to the Lungs. They support deep breathing. They also improve the absorption of Qi from the air we breathe.
White Peony Root cools and purifies the blood.
Conclusion
All together, these herbs open all eight “psychic channels,” especially the Central Channel, fortify Shen, build Jing and Qi, and adjust the bodily and psychic energy, resulting in more focused Will Power.*
