Zizyphus, the roasted seed of the jujube fruit, gently nourishes relaxation and helps relieve anxiety. Scutellaria is revered for relaxing our nerves. Pearl is “grounding.” Polygonum stem also helps guide us into sleep state with a sense of safety. Albizzia flower is said to calm the heart. White peony root releases restless, pent-up energy, L-theanine is a well-known amino acid that promotes sleep, and Polygala is called the “will strengthener.”  DREAM is a true ally promoting calm sleep without causing grogginess the following day. It is not habit forming. A cup taken 30 minutes before bed makes a pleasant tasting night-time tonic. Use only as directed. Enjoy peaceful dreams! Directions 30 minutes before bedtime, take 1 slightly rounded teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. May add vegan milk and sweetener to taste. Over a few nights, you can adjust the amount you need for a restful, peaceful sleep.

Great care is taken to insure the herbs are gathered sustainably, with minimal damage to the environment. Rehmannia sources his herbal powdered extracts from pristine regions in the northern Manchurian province of China, as well as the Korean countryside. This region is geographically similar to Maine, hosting many protected biospheres which are monitored by the United Nations and the Chinese government. The herbs selected from these wild forests are designated “Di Tao,” meaning they are guaranteed pure, and sustainably collected from the region of their biological origin. We provide lab analysis (COA’s) upon request.

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. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use. Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. 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. This ability to stabilize uneven emotions is known as Shen stabilization. Ground Pearl Powder is a profound Shen stabilizer. It is among the elite substances of this type known. Ground Pearl Powder 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.

Amber is thus used in formulas both for calming anxiety and for improving the power of the mind. It is believed therefore to improve concentration, memory and alertness when consumed in moderation over a continuous period of time, especially when combined with other Shen stabilizers such as Reishi Mushroom, Polygonum Stem, Pearl Powder and Zizyphus Seed.

Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination     a.k.a. Ginseng and Zizyphus Combination   Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination has been used for many centuries to nourish Yin (Jing), and pacifies the spirit (Shen), support the Heart, and build Blood. Thus it tonifies all three Treasures. This formula is a Yin tonic that supports Shen, and supports the stability of Shen.    In this formula, Codonopsis and Zizyphus build Qi and support Blood. Dang Gui and Salvia support blood circulation. Asparagus root, Raw Rehmannia, Ophiopogon, Biota and Zizyphus Scrophularia nourish the Yin, moisten dryness and support a steady mood. Salvia and raw Rehmannia normalize blood.    This is the classical Ginseng and Zizyphus Combination used for many centuries in Asia. What distinguishes Dragon Herbs Ginseng and Zizyphus Combination from other brands is the quality of the herbs used to produce it and the production technology.   ALL HERBS in China (and from most places) come in different grades based upon their variety, seed stock, growing source, growing conditions, care of the cultivators or collectors, and processing at various stages of the supply chain and during production.   That’s a lot to consider. But Dragon Herbs does take ALL factors these into account in selecting our raw materials and in producing our herbal products.    Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination is so widely consumed in China that many domestic herb factories produce it. Most of this production uses low grade herbs for price reasons. Many of the peasants of China take Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination,so many factories produce it with very cheap materials so that it costs just pennies.    Dragon Herbs does not use low grade, less effective, raw materials for Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination or any of its products. Dragon Herbs identifies sources of the BEST raw material, the kind preferred in Shanghai or Hong Kong by those who know herbs and want the best. We use this premium material to produce this important formula.    Production technology also matters. Most factories just throw the herbs into a tank and cook the whole thing for a couple of hours, then they make a powdered extract of the tea using a lot of excipient (usually not natural). Dragon Herbs uses low temperature extraction using very pure water and no chemicals. We add the herbs carefully at incremental stages. Some of the herbs in Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination can only be cooked for a few minutes. These “short cook” herbs are cooked separately and carefully and added at the end. For example, the Dang Gui should not be cooked as long as some of the other herbs because of its high aromatic oil content. Schizandra berries must be cooked for just for a few minutes because of its aromatic oil content. This is a true secret (revealed) of superior herbal production.   One very important process that most factories skip involves the collection of aromatic oils from the tea. Real Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination has a sweet-spicy aroma. This is from the aromatic oils in the herbs. If the herbs are overcooked and the oils are allowed to evaporate, the true power of Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination cannot be achieved – even if good quality herbs are used. Since we use superb herbs to make this formula, the result is sublime.   Dragon Herbs always processes its herbs using an “oil trap.” An oil trap is a sophisticated device connected to the extraction system. It captures evaporating aromatic oils and collects them in crystallized form. These collected essential oils are therefore not lost. They are added back into the extract at the end of the process. And this makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!*   Traditional Function Nourishes Qi, tonifies Yin Jing, stabilizes Shen, strengthens the Heart, and builds blood*   Concentration: 8:1   Specifications: 100 Capsules 500 mg each   Ingredients Codonopsis root, Zizyphus seed, Raw Rehmannia root, Polygala root, Acorus gramineus rhizome, Scrophularia root, Oriental Biota seed, Platycodon root, Chinese Asparagus root, Chinese Salvia root, Prepared Rehmannia root, Ophiopogon tuber, Coptis root, Spirit Poria sclerotium, Dang Gui root, Schizandra fruit, Poria sclerotium, Eucommia bark, Chinese Licorice root, Stemona root.   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder.   Usage: Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

Codonopsis and Longan Combination     a.k.a. Ginseng and Longan Combination   Codonopsis and Longan Combination is the premier classical Spleen-Heart tonic of Chinese tonic herbalism. This formula tonifiestwo of the three Treasures: it strengthens the Qi (both the Qi and the Blood components); and calms the Shen, allowing it to grow. It supports the heart function by supporting good blood circulation.   When the vital energy (Qi) and the Blood are enriched, the Heart and the Shen are calm and the circulation of the vital energy (Qi) in the Spleen is appropriate and healthy.               Codonopsis, White Atractylodes, Astragalus, Jujube, and Licorice are all major Spleen Qi tonics and facilitate the smooth circulation of vital energy. They support the upright energy in the body helping to keep the internal organs in place as well as strengthening the body's immune function.            Zizyphus, Longan, Poria and Polygala nurture the Heart and help to calm the Shen. Polygala opens the internal path between the Kidney and Heart. Polygala and Codonopsis both strengthen the will.  Dang Gui and Zizyphus tonify Heart Blood and thus have a tranquilizing effect on the organism.   White Atractylodes, Dried Ginger and Poria assist the digestive function. Dried ginger is warming to the interior and improves nutrient absorption. Saussurea regulates the vital energy and facilitates the circulation of Qi in the Spleen. Saussurea thus promotes the smooth flow of digestive energy.   Jujube and Licorice help to harmonize the herbs in the formula.   This great Qi and Shen tonic formula has been used for centuries to increase vital energy and calm worries.     This is the classical Ginseng and Longan Combination used for many centuries in Asia.
