Traditional Use and Benefits

Native to South East Asia, Gynostemma has been revered for millennia for its ability to prolong life.

Gynostemma is a herbaceous vine of the family Cucurbitaceae (cucumber or gourd family). Legend has it that the Chinese Emperor Fu Shou (lucky immortal) was busy visiting a distant region of his empire one day. Whilst stopping for respite, his servants boiled some water for everyone to drink (as was their custom ). As the water boiled, dried leaves from a nearby plant fell into it and an aromatic liquid was infused. Curious, the emperor drank some and found it very refreshing, slightly bitter and a little sweet. Thus Gynostemma tea was discovered. By the 13th century Gynostemma tea appears in Chinese meditation texts. By the 16th century, the immortality herb is listed in a variety of holistic texts throughout China. In the 70s, a nationwide census in China identified a mountainous area with the largest percentage of centenarian inhabitants. Research into the lifestyle of these centenarians revealed a common dietary element; they all drank Gynostemma tea regularly.

People in the original local region of China where Gynostemma was traditionally taken were found to have greater vitality than just about any other people in the world.
