Longevity
In Vilcamba, Inca for Sacred Valley, twice as many people as in the U.S. live past the age of one hundred. Termed “longevos,” most are farmers who work hard and vigorously their entire lives. They eat mostly fruit, vegetables and grains, and drink coffee and the local rum.
Elixir of life
Fo-ti, the name of a Chinese herb, translates as elixir of life. It is shown to restore youth and rejuvenate the physical body. The famous Chinese herbalist, Li Chung Yun, stated that he took Fo-ti every day throughout his life. The New York Times printed an article when he died, stating that he lived to be 256 years of age, confirmed by the Chinese government. He outlived twenty-three wives.
Rejuvenation
Ginseng root (panax ginseng) improves all body functions and normalizes adverse conditions, reduces the negative effects of stress, and prevents the common cold. It enhances performance and endurance without the drawbacks of stimulants such as caffeine.
Anti-aging
Ginkgo leaf has been used in Chinese medicine for over three thousand years for preventing or reversing memory loss and for general rejuvenation. Current research shows many benefits for health related to respiratory issues, circulation, and immunity.
Youthful heart
Hawthorn berry is a specific remedy for most types of cardiovascular disease. It is a tonic for the heart with no adverse side effects. It improves coronary circulation and dilates the coronary arteries, thus reducing coronary angina. It provides a gentle and long-term positive effect on age-related heart issues.
Immunity
The immune system plays a central role in rejuvenation, as it protects the body from foreign invaders – bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other toxic substances, which can cause life-threatening disease. Herbs that support the immune system include astragalus, cleavers, dandelion, and red clover.
Relaxation
Reducing stress has a significant effect on rejuvenation. Getting adequate sleep, meditating or regular quiet time and mindfulness all have major benefits. Exercise reduces general tension and depression. Using herbs such as lemon balm and skullcap provide relief from anxiety. Passionflower encourages restful sleep.
Detoxifying
Toxins accumulate in the body, including environmental chemicals and cellular waste from normal body processes. Many herbs help move these along, including dandelion, poke root extract, and red clover.
Natural Beauty
Only put on your skin what you could put in your mouth and swallow! Coconut oil for moisturizing, apple cider vinegar for a toner or hair rinse, arrowroot as a base for face powder; there are dozens of simple recipes that work as well or better than what’s on shelf at the drugstore.
Remember, the body does gradually renew itself constantly. Do not look upon illness as not being able to be eradicated from the system. Hold to that knowledge that the body CAN, the body DOES renew itself!

The fan-shaped leaves of the herb gotu-kola have a marked energizing effect on the cells of the brain, and can preserve it indefinitely. They are not a stimulant, but a brain food.

We need to take good care of our bodies. We need to have a positive mental attitude about ourselves and about life. And we need to have a strong spiritual connection. When these three things are balanced, we rejoice in living.

We have finally started to notice that there is real curative value in local herbs and remedies. In fact, we are also becoming aware that there are little or no side effects to most natural remedies, and that they are often more effective than Western medicine.

There is every infusion within a normal body to replenish itself. With that consciousness, there need not ever be the necessity of a physical body aging.

All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the challenge of science is to find it.
~ Paracelsus (1493-1541)
~ Paracelsus (1493-1541)
Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favour compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.
