    Book: The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs by Ron Teeguarden

    The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs

    By Ron Teeguarden

    First published 1998 · Warner Books

    A foundational guide to the philosophy and practical use of Chinese tonic herbs, The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs introduces readers to the classical principles of Traditional Chinese herbalism in clear, accessible language.

    Drawing on decades of study and experience, Ron Teeguarden explains the core concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including:

    • Yin and Yang

    • The Three Treasures: Jing, Qi (Chi) and Shen

    • The Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water

    The book then explores the traditional classification of tonic herbs - superior, supportive and inferior - and provides insight into how herbs are combined and selected within classical systems of use.


    What This Book Covers

    • The philosophy behind Chinese tonic herbalism

    • How tonic herbs are traditionally categorised

    • Classical herbal combinations

    • The historical use of tonic teas, foods and preparations

    • The cultural roots of radiant health practices in China

    The second half of the book discusses traditional herbal formulations and how different tonic herbs have been used historically within Chinese herbal systems.


    Academic Foreword

    The foreword is written by respected scholars from leading Chinese institutions, including professors from the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica and China Pharmaceutical University. They describe the book as an accessible bridge between classical Chinese health philosophy and Western readers seeking to understand these traditions.

    Neprinol AFD 300caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)

    I had a large varicose vein on my leg that’s been causing me problems for years. I’d received a substantial quote to remove it using sclerotherapy. I’m 70. My daughter bought me these tablets for my general health. I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. After about two weeks of taking these, my painful varicose vein disappeared. No need now for vein treatment. I feel great - I certainly do not feel 70! My daughter had bought these previously from another website but will now buy from longevity. Brilliant service and quick delivery.

    Modifilan Brown Seaweed Extract, 90 Capsules, 500 mg

    As well as removing metals from your body, these capsules are great for constipation, and continue to work long after the end of a bottle. And of course, completely natural.

    Dragon Herbs Young Lungs 100 capsules 500mg

    Take the mucus-melting, phlegm-expelling properties of Free The Lungs, combine with the cough-disappearing effect of Golden Air, add the ability to breathe deeper, and I still would not have encapsulated all the benefits that Young Lungs seems to provide. This formula has blown me away. For total respiratory health, this is THE product.

    RDT Formulas - 3 Masters 100g

    Absolutely amazing stuff. Huge congratulations on this amazing tonic blend . Expensive but worth every penny. I really notice the difference if I don't have one daily serving , I feel so much better and more vitalised after adding three masters to my regime . Would highly recommend

    The Energy Blueprint - Energenesis 432.5g

    I have adrenal insufficiency and another crash/hospital admission left my body very depleted. I've been taking an arsenal of supplements to support my cellular health and recovery but I have definitely felt a difference in energy levels since starting the energenesis - i could almost feel my cells tingling! The taste is very sweet and I find adding it to a smoothie makes it more palatable. It is on the pricey side but for me the science makes sense and it's a worthwhile investment in my health - thank you for bringing this product to my attention!

    Surthrival Colostrum 180caps 500mg

    Third bottle of this I’ve had, the best colostrum out there. It tastes so delicious out of the capsule, even one pill somehow manages to improve digestion, give my skin a bit of a glow and give me a mood boost! I don’t know what it’s doing to have that effect on my mood, lowering inflammation in the gut or immune enhancing I don’t know, but it’s also stimulating and hard to sleep for me if I take too much, so I have to go slow. Love it and wish I could take tons as it’s literally one of the most beneficial supplements I’ve ever taken.

    Living Libations Green Papaya & Lime AHA mask

    I have quite sensitive skin so wondered how my skin would react to this product. I applied a thin layer over my face and left for 15 minutes then lightly massaged and rinsed off with warm water. My skin felt soft and smooth after, and was not dried out. I'm looking to using it weekly/bi-weekly as part of my skincare routine.

    Zymessence 180 capsules, WAM Essentials (Dr Wong)

    Highly recommend. Certainly notice once stop taking. For chronic symptoms 3 per day on an empty stomach seems to help although the label advises one capsule for maintenance.

    Mr Oxygen's SUPER OxyFlush 120caps

    Firstly, I have been a client of Longevity Essentials for the last two years. Wonderful family business. I found this company just by chance when I found the Aggressive Health Book written by the founder of this website/company – Mike Nash. Fab book that is the genesis of my health program. Mr Oxygen Super Oxyflush is heaven sent. I have been taking for nearly four weeks and what an improvement in my gastrointestinal system. If you have more than one of the following - digetive issues, constipation, bloating or gas, taken in the past antibiotics, strong craving for sweets, bread or alcoholic drinks, psoriasis or skin infections, have had parasites, dealing with fatigue, depression, poor memory or nervous tension, dry skin, rashes, nail infections. Circulatory problems – cold hands and feet. This product along with the following will help: I am currently taking it with the Mr Oxygen Oxyflush and the Immune Tree liquid Oxygen. It best to take them all on an empty stomach – first two capsules of Oxyflush, NEXT take the Oxysulfur with ascorbic acid, NEXT take the Immune Tree Liquid Oxygen. These three will diffidently clean and purify your digestive tract, every organ, blood vessel and cell in the entire body. It does this by liquefying the waste in the system and passing it out through the bowels and urinary tract. Mr Oxygen’s OxySulfur is absolutely the best on the market in my opinion. I have been taking MSM Sulphur for the last three years only noticing moderate results. However, after taking OxySulfur for just four weeks I noticed a vast difference. My hair is shiny and bouncer, my fingernails are strong and white, and my skin is smooth as satin and radiant. Just recently I purchased the last in stock, that is how good this product is.

    Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops 240ml (8floz), Dragon Herbs

    This stuff is changing my body faster than anything else. Fat is melting away yet since taking deer antler I've become ravenously hungry, needing to eat every 2-3 hours. I can tighten my trouser belt by another notch, all my clothes feel much looser on me, and my sciatica seems eased. This is an extremely potent supplement.

    Ancestral Supplements - Grass Fed Natural Desiccated Thyroid 180caps 500mg

    I will have to check again next month to make sure it is this medicine that helped me and shocked me. My TSH on October 16 was just over 100. On that day I started with 6 capsules a day, I got tested today, and my TSH is 12, that is a massive drop within 2 months. I took adrenal with this at 4 caps a day. I never noticed anything physically, like less brain fog, more energy....although my toilet is much better. I will report back in another 2 months, I should have normal TSh range. :) Along with taking this medicine, I have done Ujjai pranayam, a special way of breathing for 10 mins a day, and general exercise and I drank a teaspoon of coriander in warm water every other day.
