Dual-Directional Regulating Adaptogens

Ultimate Greatness

The ultimate greatness of Spring Dragon Longevity Tea (SDLT) lies in its broad spectrum ADAPTOGENIC dual-directional regulating characteristic. Adaptogenic herbs help maintain the e ciency and accuracy of the adrenal, metabolic (pancreatic and cellular), neurological, immunologic, respiratory, and endocrine-hormonal systems.

Balance

Balance is life.

Asian health practice, at every level, is based on the Principle of Yin and Yang and its primary objective boils down to attaining and maintaining balance between Yin and Yang.

This principle asserts that everything and every function in the universe and in the human body (macrocosm) has duality (Yin and Yang), just as a coin has two sides, a full day has night and day, and a year has summer and winter. Yin and Yang are opposing forces within one integrated whole. Yin and Yang are interdependent. Yin and Yang oscillate. Progression of one force will take place as the other regresses. And then the phases reverse. This cyclic movement and change results in the maintenance of a harmonious, properly balanced healthy whole. It maintains balance (homeostasis) and order in any system, physical or living, or even psychological.

Life itself is entirely a matter of Yin and Yang forces working together, maintaining dynamic balance (scientists call it homeostasis) on the microscopic scale and on the macroscopic scale. We sleep at night (Yin) and we work/study/play during the day (Yang). Our hearts contract (Yin) and expand (Yang). Our blood pressure rises up (Yang) and down (Yin).

Balance is achieved through dual-direction regulation of Yin and Yang bodily functions.

It is impossible for a human, or any living being, to consciously regulate all the Yin and Yang functions of their body on a practical level. The body does that for us. Our bodies have evolved over millions of years and have attained the innate ability to maintain balances on macro- and microlevels. There are millions of Yin-Yang activities taking place on every moment, and these activities are all miraculously regulated by the body’s regulatory mechanisms. If a function is tending toward deficiency, the body stimulates it. If a function is excessive, the body constrains the excessive action. They function like the thermostat in a home that regulates our home temperature. When our home is too cold, the thermostat switches on the heating to warm up the house; when the home is too hot, It switches on the cooling. Once the temperature reaches the set desired level, the thermostat switches to maintenance mode.

It is because of these mechanisms that our body temperature stays stable, that our heart rate is steady except when stressed (and even then, within limits), that we wake and sleep in a daily rhythm. External climatic and environmental factors such as windy, dry, wet, hot or cold conditions can challenge our internal homeostasis. Our body has ways to adapt (adjust), but only within limits. If we have enhanced adaptability, we will do much better. This is true in all aspects of our lives. If these innate regulatory mechanisms become inaccurate or fail due to wear-and-tear, toxins, poor nutrition, some functions will become excessive and others de cient. Then our bodily functions lose balance and a cascade of problems arise.
   

Don’t fix the temperature, tune the thermostat.

The purpose of taking tonic herbs is primarily to feed our body’s innate regulatory system. Adaptogenic tonic herbs have complex chemistry compounds, and often pairs of compounds, that support the opposing functions: some are stimulating, some are constraining. They tune the body’s regulatory system so it is optimized and can do a stellar job with its balancing act.

Spring Dragon Longevity Tea incorporates some of the most famous adaptogens: Gynostemma, Astragalus, Goji, Schizandra, and Eleuthero “Siberian Ginseng”. Continued consumption of this delicious herbal tea can strengthen the adaptive capacity of the person at every level of their life.*
