Gynostemma pentaphullum ‘Jiaogulan’

Similiar to Ginseng in function and chemical composition only more powerful.It’s one of the most powerful anti-aging herbs in the world.As an adaptogen it promotes longevity, supports heart health, helps control weight and reduces stress and fatique. It has a mild pleasant flavor and the leaves are used fresh or dried in tea. It grows wild in China and Tibet. It can be grown outside in Sun or part shade or it can easily be kept in a large container and used as a house plant. Just give it some good organic soil and something to climb on. I cut it back to the ground in Fall and strip the leaves to dry for tea. It will reemerge in Spring with renewed vigor.
