Harmonic Arts has sourced a Organic and wild harvested Gynostemma!

Gynostemma Information and Traditional Uses:

Gynostemma, also known as 'Jiaogulan' and 'Longevity Tea', is a vine-like climbing plant belonging to the cucumber and gourd family that grows wildly in many countries throughout Asia. The plant was first used as food, and is now widely consumed as a tea. The leaves have a sweet, robust taste, allowing them to be used as a natural sweetener. The Gynostemma carried by Harmonic Arts is of premium quality, grown outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The farmers sing Tibetan Bon mantras through speakers to the plants as they grow. This gynostemma has won awards in Thailand for its flavour and strength. Traditionally it is brewed as a hot infusion and can be brewed more than once and still maintain its flavour. It also makes a good decoction.

Has been used to support conditions related to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart function. Furthermore it may help strengthen the immune system, increase stamina and endurance, increase resistance to environmental stress (as an “adaptogen”), improve memory, and prevent hair loss to name a few. This herb is amazing!
