Welcome from Ron

Welcome to Dragon Herbs’ Catalog 2018. We hope to provide a service to our many
new and dedicated customers that cannot be matched anywhere else. We have
scoured the world to find the finest quality herbal and superfood products. We
proudly collect, process and manufacture hundreds of superior quality herbal
formulations and superfoods from every corner of the earth, and we joyfully
distribute them to those who seek glowing health, longevity and wisdom.

These are very interesting times, full of promise—but also full of danger and
challenge. The next few decades will determine the evolution of life and
the fate of humanity upon this planet. Most of you who have discovered
this catalog are working in some ways to massage the course of this
evolution toward a more manageable, natural, stable course. For
sure, the planet and the creatures of Earth need your energy, your
attention, your passion, your wisdom and your steadfastness, just to
get through the mess humans have created for the Earth in the last
couple hundred years. Far too many animals and plants are dying off.
Whole ecosystems, some immense, are being irretrievably destroyed.
When enough pieces are lost, environmental collapse may be irrevocable.

Individually, I want to live a long life, free from disease and suffering. I want to
age slowly and gracefully. I want to be physically strong and clear minded. I want
satisfaction and fulfillment. I want to live in a beautiful natural world. And I want
these blessings for my children and future descendants as well. I am sure that you
share these goals with me. I feel committed to preserving this Gaia (the “One Life”
we know as the living Earth) that took tens of millions of years to manifest so fully,
and even to improving the situation, the health of our land, water and air. I also feel
compelled to reduce the suffering of the hundreds of millions of humans who live
in poverty, turmoil, fear and ill-health as a result of the ignorance and greed of other
humans. I feel that we must work and fight to protect the Earth from the devastation
that results from greed and overgrowth. I feel we need to consider the creatures of the
Earth as well, and aid in their well-being. Ultimately, we are all just part of Gaia.

Many years ago, by good fortune, I discovered the Oriental “Way of Glowing Health.” I
became the student of a great Taoist master who taught me many things about life—
fundamental things like appreciation, humility, sharing, giving, compassion, hard
work for good cause, visualizing a peaceful and prosperous world, and living by the
principles of balance (Yin and Yang) and reciprocation (Karma). He also taught me the
art of superior herbalism, also known as tonic herbalism. This art changed, and perhaps
saved, my life, and I have since found fulfillment in my life by passing the knowledge
of this art onto as many people as I can.
You are undoubtedly interested in the issues of health care, and in particular, natural
means of achieving glowing health. “Glowing health” is defined in the Orient as
“health beyond danger.” Glowing health is thus predicated on developing powerful
immunity, stress resistance, excellent adaptability and superb endurance. This is
where the tonic herbs come in.

It is my sincere belief that the tonic herbs, and the principles of tonic herbalism, can
improve the lives of virtually every person on the planet, were each person to become
aware of them and use them appropriately. The tonic herbs are health promoting.
They protect us. They help us maintain balance in a chaotic world. They help us feel
and look younger. They give us energy while helping us to remain calm and supple.
They encourage our creativity. They strengthen us and allow us to accomplish our
goals. They promote our wisdom. They are especially important to all of us right now.
Jing Qi Shen Xuan Guan

The Taoists translate this phrase as “The Three Treasures are the Entrance to the State of Conscious Immortality.”
