This plant is considered miraculous by many ancient people

this plant for example has been so revered for Millennia in East Asia that certain roots go for up to $100,000 now in this video we'll discuss one of the most famous plants in traditional Chinese medicine and ayurvedic history its uses throughout history as well as how it works clinically and how I currently use it every day in my clinic here in Los Angeles hey guys I'm Dr Alex Hine board licensed acupuncturist and doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and author of the health book master of the day so let's get in let's talk about the magic behind ginsing or renin purely because it's been over harvested to such an extreme degree and there's such a high premium for some of these roots that people will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for wild ginsing the forests grown and harvested purely because the levels of certain compounds in here that are medicinal are much higher in the wild than in the cultivated form now you see that also in crops right you see that in food crops in general certain vegetables and certain fruits that aren't harvested in a General commercial sense will often have higher nutrition especially the further you way you get from General agriculture So In traditional Chinese medicine ginsing is considered to be a superior tonic for Chi now I refuse to call that energy but you could think of it as a general herb that will improve your overall vitality and energy it is often something that's given as gifts too because it is such a prized herb on its own and while there are other herbs in medicinals like for example mushrooms RI which is Linger a lot of them also have quite expensive price tags on them but jins sing for some reason has stood the test of time as being sort of like the superior tonic and frankly a lot of this is supported by the research in terms of clinically what renen and jining can actually do you know but when we look at the history of traditional Chinese medicine supporting the body the Vitality with herbs is just one of the many practices that traditionally a doctor of acupuncture traditional Chinese medicine would do right I specialize in Internal Medicine with formulas but there are three or four other daily practices that the great luminaries and the great Physicians have talked about and I've talked about four of them in a free guide I've put together it's the link right below this video and it's specifically around this one dude that lived to be over 100 years old this guy named Lee Ching Yun and this guy was said to be very longlived and in very good health and he talked about the four or five daily practices he did that there was even a New York Times article written about in the early 1900s so you can check it out it's about four healing practices from TCM so what are some of the uses of renen in Chinese medicine clinically there's a great story My Mentor like to tell of one famous formula called duang duang basically means ginsing Alone decoction Now what duchang is basically is when people are at the end stages of life or they are exhausted or on death store you basically give them a very high dose of ginsing I think this decoction was like 50 to 100 gram of just ginsing and what jining is very good for is stabilization of the HPA axis HPA access is the interface between your brain the stress Pathways physiological Pathways in the body and the adrenals he gives the story of this formula and he describes it like the way that Grandma is on death door and if any of you have spent time around people who are dying or in their death and dying phase of Life you've seen how sometimes especially for the healthcare practitioners they sometimes suddenly are conscious and awake a day or an hour before they die sometimes a loved one comes into the hospital and they will actually wake up and be lucid and conscious just to die an hour later this is my mentor described this formula as almost like Grandma's in the hospital and death store and and her granddaughter her favorite granddaughter is graduating high school or college or medical school in a week and you need Grandma to get those jumper cables to get her adrenals and her body and her Vitality enough of a boost just to make it to that graduation before she passes so you make this formula duang which is like a industrial strength turbocharged jumper cables and that can be something that can give her the strength of actually get out of bed and be alive for another week or another day or another hour to be able to go see her granddaughter rather grad uate so dang is something for what's often called devastated Yang yangi is like your battery charge and your battery charge is at 1% and death is imminent you utilize formulas to save the person's life in that way modern formulas
