Imperial Garden
Imperial Garden is a powerful tonic formulation based on the time-proven Return to Youth Formula, developed in the eleventh century and used continuously since that time. Imperial Garden is considered to be an “imperial version” of Return to Youth Formula because it contains a very powerful lead herb that was not generally available to common people at the time. That herb is Cordyceps, an herb of significant primal tonic power. Cordyceps is a deep Jing tonic that tonifies both Yin and Yang, and a superb Qi tonic that supports the tissues and functions of the Lungs.
Imperial Garden is one of the greatest of all tonic formulations, and is in particular a superb Yin and Yang Jing tonic. This formula influences primarily the Kidney function (both Yin and Yang). It is also considered to be a Heart, Liver and Spleen tonic. It supports heart function by improving blood circulation and by supporting Blood. Imperial Garden is an excellent blood tonic. It is respected as a brain tonic. It is also highly regarded as a sexual tonic for both men and women. It is a major "rejuvenation formula". It may be used continuously and indefinitely as a primary Jing, Blood and Qi strengthening tonic.
This superb essence (Jing) tonic is suited to men and women of all ages. Imperial Garden is used to support the sense organs, support memory and the ability to concentrate, to help improve general vitality, and to help with short-term fatigue. It is used in the Orient to support male and female libido and sexual function.
The Herbs in Imperial Garden
Cordyceps Mushroom is one of the absolute superstars of the Chinese tonic herbal system. It is an extremely effective and powerful life-enhancing agent, ranking right up there with Ginseng, Reishi and Deer Antler. This rare and precious herb is considered to be a moderately Yang primal essence (Jing) tonic of the highest stature. It is a mushroom. It is said to help build sexual and to support physical power, mental energy and the immune system. Cordyceps is very widely used to support the primal Kidney functions, which include sexual functions, brain power and structural integrity. Cordyceps is also a major Lung tonic. It can be used to support respiratory power in those who require energy in order to perform physical work (e.g. labor, sports or exercise).
Goji berry and Steamed Rehmannia are two of the primary Jing tonic herbs used in Chinese tonic herbalism. They are both superb Yin Jing tonics that tonify the Kidney Yin. Goji berry is singularly the most popular tonic herb used throughout Asia. It restores Jing and helps build strong blood. It supports the metabolic functions and supports the immune system. It supports the eyes and vision, and has been shown to support other senses as well. It is renowned for its mood supporting effects. And it is one of the primary herbs used to strengthen sexual functions in both healthy aging men and healthy aging women.
Steamed Rehmannia is said to be the “Kidney’s own food.” It is a fundamental Kidney tonic in Chinese tonic herbalism. It is found in a great many common tonic formulations for aging men and women (typically set in China at above fifty). It is considered rejuvenating. Steamed Rehmannia is a fundamental Yin Jing tonic, providing Yin support to the Kidney. It is quick and effective. Steamed Rehmannia is said to benefit sexual functions in men and women. Steamed Rehmannia is usually combined with Qi tonics to improve its assimilation. Goji, Steamed Rehmannia, and Cornus Fruit nourish the Yin of the Kidney. Goji and steamed Rehmannia strengthen the Blood.
Eucommia, Cistanche and Morinda are three of the finest Yang Jing tonics produced by Nature. They are the three truly elite vegetable-source Yang tonic herbs in the Chinese herbal system. Cistanche, Eucommia and Morinda tonify the Kidney Yang and with Achyranthes, invigorate sexual functions and strengthen the bones and ligaments, especially those of the back and knees. Dioscorea, Broussonetia and Schizandra further nourish the Kidney. Lycium, Schizandra, Achyranthes, Broussonetia, steamed Rehmannia and Cornus all strengthen the Liver and promote visual function.
Schizandra Berry and Cornus Fruit are “astringents” to the Essence (Jing), locking the Kidney Qi in and preventing a leaking of essence. Schizandra, Cornus, Cistanche and Morinda are considered "aphrodisiac" in China. Schizandra acts as tonic to all of the organs, helping to support and regulate their functions, and supports the brain and supports concentration.
Polygala, Steamed Rehmannia and Poria support the Qi in the Heart meridian. Schizandra, Poria, Zizyphus Seed and Polygala are all superb Shen tonics. Polygala opens the connecting channel between the Kidney and Heart, giving the organism a greater ability to process the emotions of love, passion, will, courage and fear.
Fennel, Poria and Dioscorea all tonify the Spleen and Stomach function. Dioscorea, Poria and Broussonetia support the circulation of fluids in the body. Jujube is a Spleen tonic which harmonizes the herbs so they function well together.*
