Why BLOOD CLEANER?
The Blood Cleaning Process
Skin is the largest cleaner of our body and blood is its medium. There are other cleansing systems in our body like bowel movement; the lungs, liver, kidneys, and gallbladder have a part in eliminating waste from the body. And all this waste is carried to these organs by the blood and lymph systems. Keeping your skin clean and healthy by bathing and sweating from the outside and bowels are where the cleansing system starts from the inside, which is just like the tail pipe of a car. If plugged poisonous gases will back up into the car and the same happens with our bodies. When our "tailpipe" is plugged, substances that should be leaving the body (toxins and waste) get reabsorbed, and that damages organs and tissues in the body. Everything gets backed up throughout the body because waste is not being eliminated. If this happens consistently, over time the organs and tissues will start breaking down from lack of nourishment, over-work, and self-poisoning. The organs will not function correctly and will not cleanse, pump, or produce hormones or blood, or do whatever they should. The immune system is damaged and stops working properly. Bacteria, viruses or Cous cells that would not otherwise bother us get a foothold. Or, the immune system may start attacking the systems of the body, as if they were foreign invaders. In other words, we get sick. Then come the liver gallbladder, and kidneys. The liver is next in importance to the bowels because it is where old blood, toxins, hormones and waste are broken down and sent to the bowel. If you want help with PMS, losing weight, skin problems, allergies, or nearly any illness, proper work of your liver is required. However, some attention to the gallbladder is also required, where fats are emulsified to be eliminated from the body and this helps improve over-all health. Next come the kidneys and bladder. This is where most of the liquid waste is eliminated from the lymph and blood.
Once your liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and bladder are working properly, you can clean your blood. For that you need not to take a scrub brush to clean your blood cells. From the word blood cleaner we mean helping the blood to carry away toxins and waste that has been stored in the tissues of the body. There are herbs that are very good for this. When the blood is clean, it will do a better job of taking oxygen and nutrition to the billions of cells of the body and one feels like a new person. The formulation of Blood Cleaner is done in such a way that it promotes and regulates the bowel movement, maintains the health of the liver, proper working of the gallbladder and kidneys. The combinations of herbs are taken in such a way that they must eliminate the toxic elements present in our body. They tighten up the tissues, forcing waste and toxins into the blood stream and lymph system to be taken to the liver and kidneys to be disposed of. So, these herbs actually dirty up the blood and lymph systems for a while as they are cleansing your system. All of the functions of cleansing and strengthening the liver, kidneys and improving bowel movement must begin before the actual blood cleaning process begin.
The skin which is also a main source of infection from the outside. It is multi-layered. The outer most layers are the "Epidermis" and the inner one is the "Endodermis". Most of the blood vessels end with the Endodermis layers and the Epidermis protects the inner soft layers. The outer layers have lots of pores and hairs, through which toxins and waste are passed out. But they also absorb infections from the outside, which either remain in the Epidermis (our skin remains/gets infected) or if severe it may go deep into the skin into the Endodermis from where it goes into the main blood stream and it may infect many other parts of our body. Different kinds of skin diseases like itching, Eczema, pimples, Acne, allergic skin diseases, ring worm and other external skin diseases are then formed.
The internal skin diseases which are due to infection up to the blood level are urticaria and other skin rashes. The formulation of blood cleaner contains herbs, which are equally effective in regularizing Bowel movement, Liver disorders and Kidneys sluggishness.
How Blood Cleaner provides benefits:
1) Bowel movement: It increases the bowel movement at the beginning, which is a temporary phase. It takes two or three days, which is recommended because it is very supportive to the blood cleaning process. Either takes small doses in the beginning and increases after two or three days or starts the recommended dose and clear the bowel movement.
2) Liver health: It activates the sluggish liver and makes it healthy and more active.
3) Kidney health: Improves the sluggish activities of the Kidneys.
4) With purification of our system our skin gets more healthy, lustrous, smooth and silky with natural glow. A healthy skin is less prone to diseases and infections. |

Schizandra
The herb that does almost
everything. Schizandra develops the primary energies of life and is thus of
great use to any one who consumes it. Schizandra generates vitality and radiant
beauty when used regularly for some time. It is a safe and powerful tonic herb
which is mildly calming and possessing pain-alleviating properties. If used for
100 days successively, Schizandra is said to purify the blood, sharpen the mind,
improve memory, rejuvenate the Kidney energy (especially the sexual energy and
functions in both men and women), and causes the skin to become radiantly
beautiful.
DescriptionSpray dried concentrated powder in capsules. This
is made from wild Schizandra and is highly concentrated. I doesn’t get any
better than this.
Primary
Traditional FunctionsTonifies all three treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen),
tonifies and regulates all five elements, tonifies and regulates all twelve
organ-meridian systems. Astringent. Improves memory.
Typical
Usage2 or 3 capsules, 2 or 3 times per day
NoteSchizandra develops the primary energies of life and is
thus of great use to any one who consumes it. Schizandra generates vitality and
radiant beauty when used regularly for some time. It is a safe and powerful
tonic herb which is mildly calming and possessing pain-alleviating properties.
If used for 100 days successively, Schizandra is said to purify the blood,
sharpen the mind, improve memory, rejuvenate the Kidney energy (especially the
sexual energy and functions in both men and women), and cause the skin to become
radiantly beautiful.The very name of Schizandra in Chinese tells us a
great deal about the qualities of this herb. Wu Wei Zi means "Five Taste Fruit."
Due to the fact that Schizandra possesses all five of the classical "tastes"
(sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus possesses the essence of all
five of the elemental energies (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), Schizandra
is respected as a health-providing tonic in the same class with Ginseng and
Ganoderma. The Taoists especially revered Schizandra. Schizandra was my
teacher’s, Sung Jin Park’s, favorite herb. This is because Schizandra contains
all five elemental energies in abundance, contains all three treasures in
abundance, and enters all twelve meridians. Master Park considered it to be the
quintessential herbal substance. Though Schizandra is believed to
benefit all the functions of the body, its has traditionally been considered to
have the most influence on the Kidney, Lung and Liver
functions.Schizandra is said to increase the Water Qi in the Kidney. In
particular, it is said to vastly increase the "water of the genital organs,"
referring to the sexual fluids. Schizandra is said to promote the production of
semen. It is famous for its ability to relieve sexual fatigue and for increasing
the sexual staying-power in men. It is thus an ingredient in the vast majority
of men’s sexual tonics in Asian herbalism. Women benefit from the same
capacity to increase Water Qi of the Kidney. Schizandra is said to increase
circulation and sensitivity in the female genitals. Many women claim increased
genital warmth and sensation after using Schizandra for a period of time. The
Chinese sexual classics claim that continuous use by a woman will increase the
amount of "female elixir," a euphemism for vaginal secretions, during
intercourse. On the other hand, Schizandra is used clinically to help counteract
vaginal discharge. For both men and women, Schizandra is considered to
have "aphrodisiac" qualities, especially when combined with other Kidney
tonifying herbs like Lycium, Cistanche, deer antler, Epimedium, etc.
Furthermore, Schizandra is one of the most important astringent herbs used in
Chinese herbalism. An astringent herb conserves fluids, and in the case of
Schizandra, it tends to contain sexual fluids until the appropriate time of
release. Thus, consuming Schizandra for a period of time, one tends to build up
sexual fluids. Schizandra is used in sexual formulations to prevent premature
ejaculation and to help promote incredible endurance. Schizandra is
widely used to beautify the skin and to protect the skin from the damaging
effects of the sun and wind. Due to the astringent quality of Schizandra, the
skin tends to hold its moisture and becomes full and beautiful. It has always
been very popular with the wealthy men and women of China because of its youth
preserving and rejuvenating effects. It is said that those who use Schizandra
consistently will remain youthful in both appearance and physiology. I have seen
the benefits of this herb with my own eyes hundreds of times in my life. People
who start taking Schizandra regularly all change for the better. Their skin
virtually glows and becomes clear and fine after several months. This
herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used
to sharpen concentration, improve memory and increase alertness. Yet, unlike
caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, some
people consider Schizandra mildly "calming" while producing wakefulness and
improved focus. Schizandra is one of the primary cleansing tonic herbs
used in Chinese herbalism. Schizandra stands along with Reishi as the primary
liver cleansing agents used in tonic programs. Schizandra does not have the side
effects that are associated with many of the "medicinal," or "inferior" liver
cleansing herbs. It is believed that by taking Schizandra regularly, it is
possible to rid the body of toxins before they have a chance to do serious
damage. Schizandra, especially alcohol extracts, are widely believed to protect
the liver from damage due to poisons, as well as the by-products of living.
Schizandra is among the most popular tonic herbs in Asia and is
frequently pictured in ancient art as a symbol of longevity, and even the
ability to attain "immortality." Varieties and Grading: There
are two varieties of Schizandra: Northern and Southern. Northern Schizandra is
generally considered to be superior to the southern variety . It is stronger
tasting and more potent. The skin and meat of the Schizandra fruit are sweet and
sour, the core is pungent and bitter, the whole fruit salty. Virtually all
Schizandra is collected wild in the mountains and hills away from cities and
industrial areas. Dragon Herbs uses only northern Schizandra collected in the
pristine Changbai Mountains of northeastern China.The fruit, which is
mature in the fall, is a beautiful, radiant violet-red. The plant grows by
entwining itself around short trees in dense areas where forest and grassland
meet. In my experience searching for Schizandra in Northern China, I have always
found that Schizandra tends to grow in relatively inaccessible areas, often near
cliffs and streams. It is almost impossible to cultivate Schizandra and very few
farmers try. However, wild Schizandra is not overly abundant and the end users
should appreciate the difficulty that collectors experience in collecting it.
High quality Schizandra, as we see it in American herb shops, is dried
and dark purple with some pinkish tone left. Freshly dried Schizandra has a
luster and the flesh is still plump and tender. If the fruit is dark black,
brown or has white patches everywhere, it is probably too old to be fully
useful. Freshly dried Schizandra still has a very pleasant sweet-sour aroma.
With experience you will be able to select premium Schizandra with your eyes
closed. The fruit has a wonderful flavor and fresh Schizandra has a smoother,
sweeter fragrance. Be careful to select good Schizandra. Schizandra is often
stored for years before it is sold in herb shops. I have seen Schizandra that is
barely recognizable. It was shriveled, black and lifeless. This Schizandra would
be herbally useless. Keep the Schizandra in a well-closed container in a dark
closet, or better yet, refrigerate it. When you find great Schizandra, stock
up---it is the quintessence of everything good about tonic
herbalism.Scientific Knowledge: The fruit of Schizandra chinensis
contains numerous lignin’s, schizandrins A, B and C, deoxyschizandrin,
g-schizandrin, pseudo-g-schizandrin, schizandrol and Schizandra esters. Fructus
Schizandra contains approximately 3% volatile oil. It also contains vitamins C
and E, citral, b-sitosterol and citric acid.Schizandra is considered to
be one of the premier adaptogens. Just like Ginseng, Acanthopanax and
Gynostemma, Schizandra increases resistance of the body and mind against
nonspecific stimuli. It can protect the body from damage due to extreme or
chronic stress. In particular, it can protect the adrenals and prevent atrophy
due to extreme stress. Schizandra has been demonstrated in laboratory
animals and in humans to have a stimulant action on the central nervous system.
The herb works directly on the nervous tissue. Many studies now indicate that
Schizandra actually has a powerful balancing, or regulating, action on the
central nervous system. It can result in accurate and optimal balancing between
the excitatory and inhibitory control functions of the cerebral cortex.
It has been demonstrated that human intellectual activity can be
enhanced and work efficiency increased by consuming Schizandra. Various tests
have shown that moderate therapeutic doses of Schizandra can improve various
activities requiring concentration, fine coordination, sensitivity and
endurance. The tests in humans confirming Schizandra’s efficacy in these areas
range from threading needles to running marathons. Human studies have
also shown that Schizandra can improve vision, even enlarging the field of
vision, and can improve hearing. It also improves the discrimination ability of
the skin receptors. It has been determined that this increased sensitivity is
due to improved function of the central nervous system’s ability to analyze data
flowing to it from the peripheral sensorsSchizandra has been shown to
have significant respiratory strengthening capacity. It can cause the breathing
to be both deeper and more powerful. Schizandra also has significant expectorant
and antitussive action. Fructus Schizandra has been shown to have
significant hepatic protective effects. It can promote the regeneration of liver
tissue, and promotes protein synthesis, nucleic acid synthesis. It is believed
that the protective action of Schizandra is partly due to its ability to promote
the regeneration of mitochondria in hepatic cells. Also, it can improve the
function of the cell membrane, lowering its permeability which in turn minimizes
enzyme leakage into the blood stream.It can reduce elevated SGPT in
patients with chronic hepatitis. In a clinical study conducted in China, more
than 5000 people suffering from various types of hepatitis were given Schizandra
and the results were very good. The aggregate effective rate was 84-97.9%. SGPT
was normalized in about 75% of the cases. In another clinical study,
Schizandra was proved to be very effective in treating various neurotic
symptoms, including insomnia, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, palpitations
and nocturnal emission. It has even been used in cases of psychosis, with
symptoms of hallucination, paranoia and neurosis, with good
results.Schizandra chinensis has been found to induce the production in
human beings of g-interferon. It contains shizandrin, schizandrol, volatile oil,
chamigrenal, malic acid citric acid, tartaric acid, Vitamin C, etc. Extracts of
Schizandra have been shown to induce non-specific resistance in humans,
comparable to similar effects well established for Panax Ginseng, Astragalus and
Ganoderma. Fructus Schizandra is an ingredient in an extremely important
tonic preparation called Formula for Restoring the Pulse, which consists of
Panax Ginseng, Ophiopogon root and Schizandra fruit. This formula has been
broadly studied in China as an example of how tonic formulations work and
because it is very widely used in Chinese hospitals. Experiments have shown that
this formula has the effect of dilating blood vessels, increasing the coronary
blood flow, enhancing the anoxic tolerance, reducing toxicity of toxins to the
body.. It is effective for cardiac shock, acute myocardial infarction and
myocarditis, and is tonifying to the heart and effective at raising blood
pressure in patients with low blood pressure. |

Schizandra and Lycium Drops
Schizandra develops the
primary energies of life and is thus of great use to any one who consumes it.
Schizandra generates vitality and radiant beauty when used regularly for some

men and women), and cause the skin to become radiantly beautiful.This
delicious fruit is very widely used throughout Asia as a superb Yin essence and
blood tonic. Regular consumption of Lycium is traditionally believed to lead to
a long, vigorous and happy life. Lycium has long been used as a longevity herb.
It is one of the premier anti-aging herbs of Asian herbalism and is believed to
fortify the system against disease and to provide the energy to overcome
difficult obstacles. And it is said that prolonged consumption of Lycium will
promote cheerfulness and brighten the Spirit. Lycium is also said to brighten
the eyes and improve vision. Lycium strengthens the legs and has long been a
favorite herb of Chinese martial artists and athletes. Lycium fruit is widely
believed to increase sexual fluids and enhance fertility. Lycium is a
quintessential tonic herb.

NoteLYCIUM FRUITThere are two primary varieties of
Lycium. The first is called Ning Xia Lycium. This Lycium is the preferred herb
of herbal connoisseurs. It is big, has thick fruit meat, has few seeds and its
taste is sweet and exquisite. Ning Xia Lycium is further graded according to
size, larger ones selling for considerably more than smaller ones. The larger
ones tend to be sweeter, and have a juicier texture. The best Ning Xia Lycium,
ironically, now comes from Xinjiang Autonomous Region at the very west of China,
at the foot of the Mountain of Heaven, a mountain range the nearly equals the
Himalayan mountain peaks. The pure snow runnoff is the only water used to grow
the Lycium in this region. Fresh Ning Xia Lycium has the highest content
of beta-carotene among all foods on earth. Beta-carotene can be transformed into
vitamin A under the influence of human liver enzymes. Therefore, vitamin A
ultimately plays a major influence in Lycium’s actions. Lycium’s function on the
eyes is related to this factor. Lycium’s vitamin B1 and B2 contents are
significant and the vitamin C content of freeze-dried Lycium has been measured
to be 73 mg / 100 grams. Lycium contains a range of immunologically
active polysaccharides (LBP). 5–8% of the fruit is polysaccharide. These LBP
have been found to have selective pharmacological effects on lymphocytes and
have been shown to be able to regulate immunity. Lycium has been shown to have a
double direction, regulatory effect on T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes in test
animals. Regular consumption of Lycium fruit is believed to regulate
sugar metabolism.Lycium fruit has long been used to strengthen sexual
function and to treat sexual impotence. Chinese studies have shown that by
taking Lycium fruit orally in the form of an alcohol extract, could markedly
increase androgen (free testosterone) levels in the blood, increasing libido in
test subjects.The fruit also contains vitamin C, beta-sitosterol (an
anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids
(cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine
(0.1%). Lycium contains 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 8 are indispensable
amino acids for the human body (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). 50% of
Lycium’s amino acids are free amino acid. Lycium contains numerous trace
elements, of which the main ones are zinc, iron and copper. Mature fruits
contain about 11 mg. of iron per 100 grams. Lycium contains a substance
called betaine which protects the liver and which can reduce the phospholipid
level and total cholesterol level in laboratory animal’s liver. Betaine has been
shown to have no toxicity .Lycium is rich in trace minerals. It contains
significant amounts of calcium, phosphorus, iron, germanium, selenium and zinc,
plus small quantities of many others. Lycium contains flavonoids which
protect cell membranes.An iron-containing superoxide dismutase (SOD) has
been isolated from Lycium fruit. SOD is a powerful and critical antioxidant
found in humans. Lycium is non-toxic. History: Lycium
has been considered a major antiaging herb for over 2500 hundred years. It was
described as a superior herb in the Spirit Farmer’s Herbal. Tao Hong Jing
(456-536 AD), a Daoist master and physician, wrote in his famous herbal classic
"Commentary on the Spirit Farmer’s Herbal," that "Lycium tonifies Jing and Qi
and strengthens the Yin Dao within a human." There is an incredible
Chinese story in which Lycium plays a major role. The very widespread knowledge
of this story in Asia has made Lycium even more popular in China in the past
century. One man, Li Qing Yuen, is said to have lived to be 252 years old. His
life span has been verified by modern scholars. Born in 1678 in the mountainous
southwest of China, he ran away from home at the age of eleven with three
travelers. These travelers were in the herbal trade. Together the boy and his
three teachers traveled throughout China, Tibet, and Southeast Asia,
encountering many dangerous situations, but all the while studying the herbal
traditions of all the various regions.As Li Qing Yuen became older, he
became a practicing herbalist, and was well known for his amazing vigor and
excellent health. Then one day, when he was around fifty years old, while out on
a hike, he met a very old man who, in spite of his venerable old age, could
out-walk Li Qing Yuen. This impressed Master Li very much because he believed
that brisk walking was both a way to health and longevity and a sign of inner
health. Li Qing Yuen inquired as to the old sage’s secret. He was told that if
every day he consumed a "soup" of Lycium he would soon attain a new standard of
health. Li Qing Yuen did just that and continued to consume the soup daily until
he was over one hundred and thirty years old !Naturally, he was greatly
revered by all those who knew him and he had many disciples who followed him.
Even at this very old age, his sight was keen and his legs were strong, and he
continued to take his daily vigorous walks. One day, he was on a journey through
treacherous mountains. In the mountains he met a Taoist hermit who claimed to be
five hundred years old. Humbled by the great illumination of the old Taoist, Li
Qing Yuen begged the Taoist sage to tell him his secrets. The old Taoist,
recognizing the sincerity of Li, taught him the secrets of Taoist Yoga (also
known as Nei Gong, "the Inner Alchemy") and recommended that Li consume a daily
dose of Panax Ginseng combined with Polygonum (Radix Polygonum multiflorum).
Ginseng is well-known in the West; Polygonum multiflorum is not yet well-known
here, but is highly prized in the Orient as a longevity herb, in the same class
with ginseng. He continued to consume his Lycium soup daily.It is said
that Master Li also changed his diet so as to consume little meat or root
vegetables and limited his consumption of grain. Instead, he lived mainly on
steamed above-ground vegetables and herbs. He lived to be 252 years old, dying
in 1930, reportedly after a banquet presented in his honor by a government
official. He had married during his lifetime fourteen times and lived through
eleven generations of his own descendants, of which he had almost two hundred
during two and a half centuries of life.Though Li Qing Yuen’s case is
rare, in that it has been reasonably authenticated by both Eastern and Western
scholars, tradition is rich in the Orient in the lore of Taoists living to ages
unimaginable by us. It is well known that among the Chinese population, the
Taoists far outlived all other people. Many lived to be centurions and few died
prematurely. The Taoist art of longevity, known as the "Art of Radiant Health"
is one of the great legacies of the East. And Lycium has played a major part in
Taoist health practice since ancient times. Though it is a common herb, it is
one that the Taoists consider to be transcendental. This delicious fruit
is very widely used throughout Asia as a superb Yin essence and blood tonic. It
is one of the most popular herbs in the world. Regular consumption of Lycium is
traditionally believed to lead to a long, vigorous and happy life. And it is
said that prolonged consumption of Lycium will promote cheerfulness and brighten
the Spirit. Lycium is also said to brighten the eyes and improve vision. Lycium

Eventually, you can’t stop smiling. Varieties and Grading:
Because of Lycium’s great fame over many, many centuries, it has been
collected and cultivated in almost every region of China. It grows on hillsides
and ridges in most areas of China. The best Lycium grows in cool climatic areas.
The Lycium is collected in the summer and autumn when the fruit is mature. It is
spread thin on bamboo mats and dried in semi-shady sunlight. The farmers must be
very careful not to touch the fruit with their hands during the drying process
because this will cause the fruit to turn very dark, which is unacceptable.
There are two primary varieties of Lycium. The first is called Ning Xia
Lycium. This Lycium is the preferred herb of herbal connoisseurs. It is big, has
thick fruit meat, has few seeds and its taste is sweet and exquisite. Ning Xia
Lycium is further graded according to size, larger ones selling for considerably
more than smaller ones. The larger ones tend to be sweeter, and have a juicier
texture. Grade 1 Ning Xia Lycium has no more than 370 fruits per 50 grams. Grade
2 has no more than 580 grains per 50 grams. Grad 4 has no more than 1100 grains
per 50 grams and no more than 15% damaged fruit. A second variety is
known as Blood Lycium. Blood Lycium is of a lower quality than Ning Xia Lycium.
The Blood Lycium Fruit tends to be relatively small, has numerous seeds, has a
bright glossy skin that is thicker and tougher than that of Ning Xia Lycium, and
is considerably less sweet. Often, Blood Lycium has a distinct tartness that
overwhelms the sweetness. Grade 1 Blood Lycium contains no more than 600 fruit
grains per 50 grams. Blood Lycium is OK, and it still has the tonic benefits
associated with Lycium, but it is far inferior to Ning Xia Lycium.Blood
Lycium is very commonly found in Chinese herb markets, but it is not commonly
found in America. Almost all of it is picked up commercially in China by Asian
or American manufacturers who process the herb into off-the-shelf products.
Premium manufacturers will still use Ning Xia Lycium, but the lower cost of
Blood Lycium temps most producers to select it for packaged products.
There are other minor varieties of Lycium available in America. Shandong
Lycium is similar to Ning Xia, but is not as sweet and are not usually as plump.
They are thus less expensive. Some suppliers in Asia dye the fruit red
to make it more "attractive" to naive buyers. The fruit should be firm and not
mushy. Mushy fruit is spoiled. Larger fruit is best. Always taste Lycium before
you buy it. It should be delectable. Great Lycium is very sweet and a total
pleasure to eat raw or cooked. We only use Ning Xia Lycium in all
DragonHerbs.com products. We use Lycium that is grown 100% naturally at the foot
of one of Asias greatest mountains. The snow runnoff is used to irrigate the
Lycium. Our Lycium is considered in China to be the creme-de-la-creme of Lycium
fruit. It is sweet, plump and contains fewer seeds. It is also the most potent
tonic Lycium fruit, from a tonic herbal perspective.
