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.
