Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng - PRIVATE RESERVE

Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng -- 2 oz.  

    Born to be wild

Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng is the crown jewel of Dragon Herbs products. This is a very concentrated 6:1 extract (6 pounds of herb yields 1 gallon of finished tincture). Ron Teeguarden personally supervises EVERY step of production of Heaven Drops (from root selection, to final bottling). The process is witnessed by other Dragon Herbs herbalists at all steps. The technology used to extract the Ginseng is state-of-the-art and captures every active bio-molecule available from the Ginseng roots. The tincture is bottled in special German violet glass bottles to protect potency.

Heaven Drops features very old wild Changbai Mountain Panax Ginseng roots (25-50 years of pristine forest growth or older) valued as the finest, and most beneficial Ginseng in the world. Heaven Drops also contains wild American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) roots from the pristine forests of the Catskill Mountains. These roots are prized in Asia at the same level as Changbai Mountain wild Chinese Ginseng roots. A smaller proportion of Bhutanese Wild Ginseng roots and Korean Wild Ginseng roots may round out this preparation, when available.**    

Wild Asian Ginseng

Since the very beginning of herbalism in Asia, Ginseng has been revered as the ultimate herb. It has, since deep antiquity, been recognized as a tonic herb that promotes health, longevity, mental and sexual health and physical vigor. Of course, thousands, and even just hundreds of years ago, Ginseng was primarily available only to those who found it growing wild in the pristine forests of Northeast China and other areas where related varieties grew. Cultivation developed only in recent history, but since that time, Ginseng has become one of the biggest natural commodities in the world. Nevertheless, wild Ginseng is still considered to be the ultimate form of Ginseng. Some varieties of cultivated Ginseng are also highly revered and coveted, but those in the know continue to seek and find wild Ginseng.

Wild Ginseng has always been, and continues to be, a rare and expensive herb. But in terms of value, it is indeed quite reasonable. This is why Ron Teeguarden has put so much time and effort into identifying reliable sources of genuine wild Ginseng. Ginseng can be found growing in the wild in the awesome mountains of northeastern China (Manchuria), in the remote reaches of the Himalayas, and in the beautiful and remote regions of the Catskill Mountains in North America. There is never easy access to the growing areas where Ginseng can be found. Ginseng hides, and it grows in odd places not easily accessible to humans. Ginseng roots can live to be hundreds of years old in the deep forests, in spite of the fact that humans seek it like gold and forest animals eat it with gusto when they can.

Wild Ginseng is one of the great prizes of Nature. It must be respected and appreciated to be of utmost benefit to those who consume it. Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng is made of a variety of wild Ginsengs. This is a unique product, unmatched anywhere in the world. Each batch is slightly different from any other before or after it. These are wild roots, many of which are decades old and each with a character of their own. This is NOT a commercial product. It is a piece of art, an exquisite expression of Nature. There would be many who would say that consuming even one bottle in a lifetime would change one's life forever. Wild Ginseng, no matter what variety, is considered to by a holy herb, and has since ancient times has been an herb of mystics, holy men and women and spiritual seekers. It is also a power herb, sought after by emperors, warriors and those interested in the sexual and martial arts. Chinese Ginseng is called Panax, which means panacea.

Here is a short introduction to the various Ginsengs that grow wild in remote mountains in Asia and America, all of which are used to make Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng.

Chinese Changbai Mountain Wild Ginseng

Panax Ginseng (Northeast Asian Ginseng) is one of the most famous and valued herbs used by mankind, Panax Ginseng is a Qi tonic that helps regulate and maintain the human metabolic and respiratory systems. It has been shown to be invigorating and regulatory to both the central nervous system and to the endocrine system of otherwise normal, healthy individuals. It is the primary Qi tonic of Chinese tonic herbalism.

Genuine, high grade Ginseng helps a person to quickly and accurately adapt to routine, occasionally stressful conditions. Ginseng enhances endurance and resilience under challenging conditions. It has been shown to reduce the wear and tear on the body that results from stress, and can reduce the negative effects of stress physically, emotionally and mentally. It has thus been termed an "adaptogenic" substance by scientific researchers. The benefits of Panax Ginseng as an immune modulator have long been known, and recent scientific research is showing that high quality Panax Ginseng has very powerful immunological functions in otherwise normal, healthy humans.

Ginseng contains many active ingredients, but the most important are the saponins called ginsenosides. Ginsenosides specifically improve adaptability and are believed to help build muscle and endurance. Therefore Ginseng is very popular with athletes. Ginseng generally has a "warm" energy.

There are in fact several varieties of Panax Ginseng , all of which have distinct characteristics. Most high quality ginseng is good for men and women alike. The higher the quality, the more Shen (Spirit) a ginseng root is said to contain. Wild Ginseng, such as that contained in Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng, is generally far superior to the cultivated, commercial varieties.

Changbai Mountain Wild Ginseng: Wild Ginseng is considered the ultimate Ginseng. Wild Ginseng, if it survives for more than 12 to 15 years, becomes almost invincible. Roots have been known to live more than two hundred years in the harsh climate of Manchuria. The older the root, the more potent it will be from a human health perspective. The more hardship a root has had to endure, the more ginsenosides and other constituents it will produce. The Chinese Wild Ginseng roots used in Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng are all 15 years old or older. Roots that are over 30 years old are considered to be very old and fall into a category all of their own. Roots that are 45 years old to 65 years old are incredibly rare --- however, just such long-lived roots are used in the Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng.

Wild Changbai Mountain Ginseng is the Orient's premier Shen tonic. Shen is human spiritual power. Wild Ginseng has been the herb most sought by Daoist holy men and women (perhaps along with Reishi Mushroom), as well as by emperors and the men and women of the old imperial courts and by wealthy people throughout the world. It is believed to be a spiritually transformational substance. It is usually too expensive for most people to ever obtain, so the inclusion of a very significant quantity of these roots in this formula is a first. It is not a "hot" Ginseng, and is generally considered to be "neutral" in this regard. However, the potency of these roots is beyond dispute.

Wild American Ginseng

American Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolium): American Ginseng is a major Yin tonic herb. Though it grows wild in North America, it is a true Ginseng. American Ginseng helps to moisten the tissues and is used especially as a lung tonic. It has anti-aging qualities. Wild American Ginseng is revered in the Far East. American Ginseng is widely cultivated, but, except for the very highest grades of cultivated American Ginseng grown in very harsh areas, the wild Ginseng is much superior. The best wild American Ginseng grows in the Catskill Mountains of upper New York. The pristine environment and harsh climate make it a perfect habitat for Ginseng. Catskill Mountain Wild American Ginseng is very, very rare, and collection is under the strict supervision of various governmental agencies. American Ginseng is a very potent yin tonic herb. Wild American Ginseng is a perfect counterbalance to yang herbs that one may be consuming or to a generally yang lifestyle that requires some gentle balancing.

Conclusion

Heaven Drops Wild Ginseng is an extremely potent extraction of the ultimate WILD Ginseng roots available from China and America, including very old Changbai Mountain roots valued as the finest, most precious Ginseng in the world. This very limited production run yields a superb, smooth and rich liquid extract which will please the most demanding Ginseng connoisseur.*
