wolfberries – aka goji berries
Wolfberries
Now more commonly known as Goji berries.
It is said in China that eating a handful of Wolfberry fruit each day will make one happy for the entire day. Such a practice has a cumulative effect. Eventually, you can’t stop smiling!
Both the Wolfberry and Panax Ginseng have been highly regarded for centuries as the foremost nutritional and botanical medicines in China. In fact, the Chinese hold a strong belief that human life might be extended significantly by using either of these herbs for an extended period of time. Ginseng is considered too strong for continuous use, and large amounts may not be suitable for people with high blood pressure or heart disease. On the other hand, the Wolfberry is much milder, with no known risk from continuous use. Wolfberry fruit 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.
