Senior's Programs

As we get older, we need the tonic herbs more and more. As we age, the body does not function as harmoniously within itself and does not harmonize with nature as well either. None of our organs seem to have as much energy as they did when we were younger. By the time we’re fifty, almost every organ can use toning up and re-balancing. Frankly, a good diet and exercise program go a long way to reducing the effects of time on our bodies. But the tonic herbs are much more powerful than food at rejuvenating the system.  More information...

To build a complete three treasures program pick one product from each of the first three categories. You can then optionally add a protective formula and any number of the 'add-on' formulas. Click on a product name to get detailed product information.

Discussion

Chinese tonic herbalism is an anti-aging system which has been developed for the purpose of achieving great longevity. Most of the tonic herbs can slow down aging and prolong life. Many of them are immune system strengtheners that protect us from diseases, be they from external invasion or from our own body attacking itself, as occurs in diseases like arthritis. Many of the herbs protect our vascular system and in particular our heart.

Nothing could be better for seniors than a real tonic herbal program. There is no excuse for degenerating without an effort at rejuvenation. Even if you are suffering from debilitating problems, there is always hope that when the body is provided for, something good might happen. I have seen it happen many times. Sometimes people think that Chinese tonic herbs are miraculous. From one point of view they are. But from another point of view, they are simply helping the body by providing what it needs but isn’t getting.

The tonic herbs are very safe for seniors. Older people have always used the tonics in Asia. They still do -- tens of millions of them. Certain herbs and certain formulas are especially famous. They are generally the ones that have been used so many times that no one is worried about their safety. Here is a list of the most famous Chinese tonic herbs that are really good for all older people.

The Major Chinese Longevity Herbs

Polygonum
Reishi
Lycium
Ginseng
Gynostemma
Cordyceps
Deer Antler
Rehmannia (steamed)
Schizandra
Astragalus
Ant
Tibetan Rhodiola
Codonopsis
Eucommia

This list is not by any means exhaustive. Virtually all of the tonic herbs can contribute to longevity and radiant health. The list presented here includes the herbs most commonly associated specifically with long life is the Orient. Any combination of these will surely contribute to better health, increased vitality and slower aging.

Their are certain formulations that are especially beneficial to aging people.

Rehmannia Formulations

Rehmannia is a wonderful longevity herb. Many major formulations have been designed around it which all have one goal in mind---longevity. The flagship formulation of this genre is called Rehmannia Six Combination. It is one of the most widely consumed supplements in the world. Rehmannia Six Combination is a Kidney tonic which tonifies Yin and disperses stagnant water. It helps regulate sugar metabolism and is thus widely used as a tonic by those with hypoglycemic and diabetic tendencies. It is extremely good for these disorders.

This formula is widely used by senior citizens in China and Japan because it prevents and even reverses many degenerative diseases and disorders associated with the elderly, such as cataracts, urinary incontinence, hypertension, neuralgia, etc. This formula strengthens the body and the spirit and is often miraculous in its results. As always, consult your physician before using herbs if you are suffering from a medical condition.

Rehmannia Six Combination is suited to people who have heat conditions. It is thus best for people who have red faces, a bright red tongue or for people who feel hot all the time.

This formula is very famous for their health promoting and healing effects on the prostate gland in older men. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation, allowing much easier urination and sometimes vastly improving sex life. Many men have testified to me as to the wonders of this formula.


Polygonum Combinations

Historically, Polygonum (He Shou Wu)combinations are almost always considered to be longevity formulas and are highly favored in Asia. Shou Wu Formulation is a premier example of this type of longevity formula.,

Though Hair and Nails Formula is named for its ability to promote healthy hair and nails, it could just as easily be called "Longevity Formula." The first seven herbs all promote longevity. The last two herbs have actions that preserve our youth as well. I have my mother on this formula, so you can appreciate how much I like it. She is in excellent health and full of vigor at an advanced age. She has been taking this formula every day for years (2-4 capsules each day). She claims that it has brought back her youth. She goes ballroom dancing weekly and enjoys good health. Her hair, which was getting thinner, has completely grown back and is quite healthy. A toenail fungal infection of ten years, that nothing could cure, disappeared soon after she started taking this formula. Her cholesterol has markedly improved. Her neuralgia has almost disappeared. We all think she’s getting younger. This is a premium youth preserving formula.


Return to Youth Formula

Return to Youth Formula is one of the most famous longevity formulas. It is said to have the same action as Lycium, but multiplied. It is loaded with longevity herbs and is very safe, like all of the formulas described in this section. It is suitable to men and women, young or old. It is highly preventative and is especially suited for those who want to remain physically active. It is considered to be physically and mentally rejuvenating. This formula strengthens the legs, firms up the back, strengthens all the sense organs, has potent sex tonic effects and sharpens the mind. It is said that people who consume this formula every day become cheerful and wise.


Ginseng Formulas

The formula called Ten Complete Supertonic Formula is a superb longevity formula. It is primarily used to build Qi and blood, but has Kidney tonifying benefits as well. It would most often be used along with one of the prior longevity formulas because they have more influence on the Kidney system (Jing treasure) whereas this formula has more influence on the Spleen and Liver systems (Qi and blood treasures). You should definitely take a formula with Ginseng.

Another great classic formulation known as Ginseng Nutritive Combination provides a full range of longevity herbs. It is particularly good for those who require lots of energy. Ginseng gives you energy.


Reishi, Astragalus and Gynostemma

I think it is essential that everyone over fifty consume these three herbs every day. These herbs protect you. They prevent many diseases and they make you healthy all by themselves. They regulate the immune system, make you strong and keep you smart.

Reishi is perhaps the premier longevity herb in the world. It is the veritable symbol of longevity in the Orient. It protects your immune system, your cardiovascular system, your nervous system, your respiratory system and more. It prevents degenerative disorders and slows down aging. It gobbles strengthens your immune system up in such a way that it gobbles up bad things up before they have a chance to get a foothold in your body. As you get older, your immune system weakens considerably. Reishi helps counteract that. Be sure to get the best Reishi you can. Try to find true Duanwood Reishi or Wild Reishi. Always use concentrated Reishi, and never the ground mushroom powder that has not been concentrated. Be sure to buy products made from the fruiting body (the "mushroom") and not just the mycelium. The mycelium is nice, but it is not as good as the mushroom.

Gynostemma is called "Ginseng at a tea price" in China. It is truly great. It prevents an enormous range of maladies that afflict old people. It gives you lots of energy, but it is not stimulating. It has mild but potent anti-inflammatory action that works all the time to prevent flair-ups. It lowers your cholesterol and improves cardiovascular function. It is a major immune system builder. You may consume it as a tea, or take it in capsules. The tea is very good and this is the traditional way of taking it. Remember, it was discovered by the Japanese when they found out that centurions were drinking it. It is the rage in Japan, especially among senior citizens. Japan, of course, has the longest average life expectancy in the world. The average woman now lives to be 86 years old. And they big Gynostemma drinkers.

Astragalus, like Gynostemma and Reishi, does it all. It regulates the immune system and therefore helps protect you against infections. It is an extremely potent anti-oxidant, and therefore has anti-aging characteristics. It supports the "upright Qi" and therefore gives you the energy to be erect and strong. It helps keep your organs strong and in place, preventing prolapsing and hernias. It fortifies your metabolic and digestive processes and keeps your skin beautiful and healthy. It is a very important longevity herb. Be certain to obtain Astragalus that is rich in "Total Astragalosides," which are the real active ingredient in Astragalus.

Creating a Youth-Preserving Regimen

If you are really planning on reaching great longevity and staying healthy all the way, like my mother, take a couple of these wonderful longevity formulas every day without fail.
