Spring Dragon Longevity Tea has one main “bulk” or “raw” herb, Gynostemma leaf, plus 5 tonic herb extracts. Gynostemma is a remarkable herb known in Asia as “magical grass.” It has been reported to have a wide range of health-promoting benefits.

Spring Dragon Longevity Tea is Dragon Herbs’ flagship tonic tea. It was Dragon Herbs first offering and remains our flagship product, consumed around the world by thousands of people every day for its wonderful flavor and health benefits. It is available in tea bags for easy preparation and ready consumption. It is adaptogenic, immune regulating, tonifying to the Lungs, Heart, Pancreas, Liver, Brain and Kidney.

Adaptogenic

 

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 of Yin and YangBalance 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.

   

SDLT TeaIt 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.*

SIP™

 

SDLT SIP™Super Infusion Process (SIP™) delivers powder extract potency in a tea bag form

   

Spring Dragon Longevity Tea (SDLT) is more than just a blend of 6 chopped herbs. It is a super-potent herbal formulation with potency on par with capsules and tinctures!

Traditionally, only botanicals suitable for steeping are sold in tea bags. The steeping method limits typical tea bags to mostly leaves, owers, and a few fruits, whose avors and constituents can come out using steeping only. Many powerful herbs require decoction (extraction by boiling). For example, roots such as Ginseng, Astragalus, and Eleuthero require a long cook times. Mushrooms such as Reishi and fruits such as Schizandra, Goji and Monk Fruit (Luo Han Guo) need shorter cooking than roots, but still, steeping alone will not yield optimal potency and e cacy and that means waste. As a result, these powerful and often expensive botanicals are rarely available in tea bags, only in capsules or tinctures.

Dragon Herbs has developed a special ecological technology called Super Infusion Process (SIP™) that solves this ageold dilemma, making delivering all botanicals in the tea bag format a reality.

   

SIP infusion processDuring the SIP process, we optimally extract 5 premier tonic herbs (Schizandra, Goji, Astragalus, Eleuthero and Luo Han Guo) together, resulting in a thick, concentrated syrup. The syrup is then infused into premium grade Gynostemma leaves. The saturated leaves are carefully dried, locking in the superior range of phytonutrients from all the tonic herbs. The result is a super-potent herbal formulation. This proprietary process ensures that our Spring Dragon Longevity Tea is 5 to 10 times stronger than mere blends of chopped herbs. With six premier tonic herbs, SDLT yields one of the most broad-spectrum health promoting tonic brews in the world.*

History

 

DH Gynostemma FieldGinseng at Tea Price – Gynostemma

   

In 1972, a group of Japanese researchers reported that Gynostemma tea was being consumed as a daily “longevity tea” by large numbers of southern Chinese people. It was revered in the regions where it grows as “magical grass” because of its many reputed health benefits.

This led the Japanese researchers to study the constituents and pharmacology of Gynostemma. The researchers discovered that the chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristics of Gynostemma are 180+ di  erent saponins called Gypenosides. Gypenosides are structurally and functionally very similar to Ginsenosides, which are the active constituents of Ginseng root (Panax ginseng). In fact, many of them ARE ginsenosides, just in another plant that’s not Ginseng. This is the broadest known range of saponins in any one plant in nature. Ginseng, for example, has about 100 saponins (Ginsenosides). The Gypenosides are so similar to the ginsenosides of Ginseng that in China, Gynostemma is called “Ginseng at Tea Price”.

  • Strong anti-fatigue effect albeit caffeine free
  • Supports healthy aging (exhibits antioxidant activity)
  • Japanese studies have indicated that Gynostemma has a dual-direction regulating influence on the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and invigorating when one is fatigued.
  • Widely known for its “spirit-lifting” effect.
  • Support the body’s systemic dual-direction immune response
  • Gynostemma accelerates the body’s metabolism and helps maintain healthy blood sugar and blood fat levels within a normal range.
  • Gynostemma has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a major aid in weight management programs. Gynostemma has been shown to have a double-direction activity with regard to weight. Gynostemma can be useful in reducing excessive body fat, when combined with a reasonable exercise program and a healthy diet that modulates caloric intake. Gynostemma may also help athletes, body builders or excessively slim people to gain weight.
  • Gynostemma tea is very soothing to the stomach. It protects the stomach lining. A safe alternative to green tea for people with sensitive stomachs.
  • Helps support respiratory, hepatic, and cardiovascular functions.
  • Although Gynostemma is not a laxative, it may help maintain healthy bowel movements.
Sourcing

   

Dragon Herbs Gynostemma Farm

   

Dragon Herbs gynostemma is grown near the top of Great Immortal Peak, a remote pristine mountain in Southern China, without the use of any chemicals or modern equipment. It is grown totally on mountain spring water and natural precipitation. Most of the Gynostemma sold in the United States is grown at low altitude as an adjunctive farm product, usually around corn fields. The water in these farms is not nearly as pure as the fresh mountain spring water that feeds the Great Immortal Peak Gynostemma plot. Also, the common low lying fields are fumigated and unnaturally fertilized. Dragon Herbs’ Gynostemma is grown in a completely clean, naturally fertile environment. Most manufacturers leave the stems in the Gynostemma before extracting, resulting in a less potent extract. Dragon Herbs uses hand selected leaves only.

FAQ

Does your teabag contain epichlorohydrin as some other companies do?

No. Our SDLT teabags are produced using an environmentally friendly unbleached paper.
   

Can I drink this tea before bed as well as in the morning?

You can drink it in the morning, afternoon or night without sleep disturbance. There is no caffeine in Spring Dragon Longevity Tea.
   

Is this a powder or in bags?? It seems to say both. So is this saying we get 3 cups per bag?

The tea is not a powder in a bag. It is Gynostemma herbal tea leaves, cut to "tea cut" size, which is infused with the concentrated extracts of five other major tonic herbs. You can get 2 cups per bag, but if you make each cup very strong, you may find that 2 cups are strong and the third is a bit weaker.
   

Would love to know if this tea has been grown without pesticides even though it's not labeled as organic?

There are no pesticides used to grown the Gynostemma or any of the herbs included in this formulation.
