anti-aging

That which slows down the aging process is said to have anti-aging qualities. Aging is the process by which a biological system proceeds through a natural life cycle, ultimately resulting in death. The speed and nature of aging is strongly determined genetically. Depending on the amount of Jing in the original life cells of the fetus, the length of life is partially determined and the maximum life span is essentially established. However, the loss of Jing due to stress, illness or abuse will hasten the aging process. Many of the tonic herbs have anti-aging effects. They may due this by slowing down the loss of Jing, or by specifically nourishing certain tissues such as the blood, hair and skin.

Many of the tonic herbs have anti-aging qualities. Lycium Fruit, for example, is extremely rich in antioxidants which slow down aging. Pearl contains mucopolysac-carhides that have the ability to prevent wrinkling of the skin.

Schizandra removes toxins from the liver, which results in a more youthful body and a more beautiful exterior. Polygonum promotes the production of the body's most important natural antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD), which can significantly slow down aging. Gynostemma has a profound and consistent anti-inflammatory activity that prevents aging.
