Details

 

Gynostemma, also known as Jiaogulan by the Chinese, is a herbaceous vine that is indigenous to the southern China, southern Korea and Japan . It possesses leaves that most often are divided into five leaflets - usually with a larger leaflet at the end of the leaf stem surrounded by leaflets of decreasing size on either side. Jiaogulan is of the same family of plants as cucumbers and melons. It produces small dark berries that follow light yellow flowers. The tasty tea made from the stems and leaves of this herbaceous perennial vine have 4 times more ginseng-like saponins than either American or Asian Ginseng.

This vigorous perennial vine is hardy to 10 degrees and can climb 20 to 30 feet in a season. It prefers a moist partly shaded location and responds well to a fertile garden soil. Quite easy to grow and will produce a large crop to harvest for tea. This is a plant quickly gaining in popularity.

Jiaogulan broke into the consciousness of health practitioners from all over when in the 1970s, a nationwide census in China revealed that in a certain mountainous area, there lived a large amount of people that reached the age of 100 years and above. Research into the lifestyle of the people revealed one common dietary element: they all drank Jiaogulan tea on a regular basis.

Japanese scientists discovered that the plant contained ingredients very similar to those found in ginseng. Further research showed that jiao gu lan has a wide range of actions in the body, with a general overall effect of helping to balance and regulate body systems, such as the cardiovascular and hormonal systems. Studies have since been conducted which indicate that jiao gu lan has antioxidant properties and helps support circulation and immune systems.

Jiao gu lan contains substances called gypenosides. These are similar to the active constituents in ginseng, but jiaogulan contains over three times as many. Furthermore, jiao gu lan is believed to have a superior action to ginseng, being more supportive without causing overstimulation.
