Ultimate Xianxao Rejuvination Tea
“The Herb of Immortality”
by A. True Ott, PhD
Imagine a killer that claims half a million American lives every year. If this killer wore robes and lived in the Middle East, the news media would label him a “terrorist” of the highest evil. In actuality, there are THREE such killers at work in America as you read this, claiming thousands of American lives every day. The “Big Three” killers are Heart Attack, Stroke, and Cancer, and they strike old and young alike. To protect against these indiscriminate killers, Americans spend BILLIONS of Dollars every year for prescription drugs designed to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and thereby reduce the risk of early disability or death from assaults by these cunning killers. Sadly, every chemical drug has its own set of potentially harmful side effects. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was a truly natural product to all but eliminate the “terrorism” caused by the Big Three killers? Well, it is indeed true and is indeed fantastic that there is in truth such a product. It is called Xianxao – a Chinese name literally meaning “The Herb of Immortality”.
The scientific name for this wonderful herb is Gynostemma pentaphyllum – and very few herbalist and naturopaths outside of Southern China have ever heard of it. The Japanese call it Amachazuru, and it is also known as Jiaugulan, Miracle Grass, Southern Ginseng, and Vitis pentaphyllum. For the remainder of this article, I will refer to Xianxao Rejuvination Tea by its scientific name: Gynostemma.
Gynostemma is undoubtedly one of the most powerful adaptogenic herbs on planet earth.[1] An adaptogen is a substance that helps the body to naturally “adapt” to particular stresses placed upon it. The term “adaptogen” was coined by Russian scientist N.V. Lazarev in 1947 who declared that such an herbal substance “must be innocuous and cause minimal side effects in the physiological functions of an organism; it must have a non-specific action of immune enhancement, and have a normalizing action on various bodily functions, irrespective of the direction of the pathological state.”[2] An adaptogen is therefore a substance which helps to bring about “homeostasis”, or the natural equilibrium “balancing” of the body’s internal processes. Gynostemma in clinical studies has shown to accomplish this more effectively than any other herb or herbal combination. [3] [4]
Clinical Studies over the last decade have shown that Gynostemma consumed daily in tea may provide the following benefits:
- Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes[5]
- Inhibit Cancer[6]< /o:p>
- Lower blood glucose and insulin in Diabetics[7]
- Lowers High Blood Pressure[8]
- Reduces Stress[9]
- Lowers Cholesterol[10]
- Strengthens Immunity (Prevents Colds and Flu)
- Extremely effective Anti-Oxidant
- Alkalizes the Body’s pH and Strengthens the Heart and Lungs.

Directions for Brewing the Tea
The tea leaves expand incredibly after being placed in water. Using Distilled Water (or the purest water available – please do not use regular tap water) – place 1 teaspoon into 32 oz. of hot water – let steep for 5 minutes, strain the leaves from the tea, then consume. (Save the leaves, as they can be used a 2nd time for a lower tea concentration.) If the tea is too bitter, add Stevia leaf as a sweetening agent to taste. Consume 8 oz. in the morning, then sip the remaining tea throughout the day (chilled) for best results.
If you are taking blood-thinning medication such as Plavix or Ticlid, anticoagulants such as Heparin and Warfarin – CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE CONSUMING Gynostemma. Because it enhances the immune system, Gynostemma may interfere with drugs used to suppress the immune system after organ transplants or in other conditions, and therfore is not recommended.
