Hey guys.
Who doesn't want to restore lost energy and have an optimum level of Jing? Unbelievers or people who don't value life and energy that is who. A Mantak Chia interview below may convert ye. Anyways stuff like Rhodiola, Shilajit, or Ashwaganda don't hold a candle to He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti) in my eyes and experience.
Just a warning about it if you do go through with trying it,
Please note: He Shou Wu is classed as a SUPERIOR TONIC HERB in the Chinese system. These tonic herbs are not to be taken when you have an infection. (Even though they will help prevent you from getting infections) If you should get a flu or other infection, stop taking them temporarily until the infection is gone before starting back on He Shou Wu or any tonic herbs. Tonic herbs are good when recuperating from an illness but never during a fever.
Essence (Jing)
Essence (a Yin characteristic) is that aspect of the body that is the basis for all growth, development, and sexuality. Congenital Essence is that part of the body's Essence that is inherited from one's parents. After birth this Essence, which is akin to an inborn constitution (DNA), determines each of our growth patterns. Congenital Essence can never be replaced if lost, but can be supplemented by acquired Essence, which is derived from food and herbs. Many of the best tonic herbs for healthy aging support the essence. It is important to maintain abundant qi through proper diet, breathing exercises and meditation, and tonic herbs so that you do not consume essence. Proper lifestyle habits, such as proper, sound sleep at night also help to preserve essence.
Essence is Yin in nature, and is the primary substance responsible for growth and development, metabolism, and plays a role in daily activity especially when Qi is depleted. Essence can be regarded as substantial Yin, and spirit, or Shen, as the counterpart Yang.
Kidney Essence
Kidney Essence produces marrow, which then produces bone marrow and then fills the spine, bone marrow and spinal cord. This is why Kidney tonics are so important in the full recovery of back injuries. Kidney Essence rules over growth, reproduction, and development, and Kidney deficiencies can manifest as improper growth and maturation, sexual dysfunction, ED impotence, infertility, premature aging and birth defects.
Look He Shou Wu has a ton of information out there. The longer the description about it on a source's page the higher quality it most likely is. It is also often used in formulas but I am not getting into that here just trying to spark vitality ideas for you my friends.
Like Westerners are so goofy when it comes to Qi (they call it Chi) and think Mantak is like the only information authority on the subject. He knows his stuff however.
I am not devoting this blog to only tonic herbs and qigong so the next two posts will complete this discussion on them. Be back for next one next week.
