  • Gynostemma Pentaphyllum

    Does anyone have any information about this herb?


    It has similar compounds to ginseng, and is supposed to be very good for the heart and overall wellbeing.

    You can get tea bags of it very inexpensively and I enjoy the taste, though my girlfriend does not

    Hi Alex. This herb is given a whole range of glorious effects but is basically a good Qi tonic. While it is not a toxic herb it is unlikely you need it if you are practicing QiGong regularly. As a tea once in awhile it is harmless but if you plan to take any herbs for extended periods you should consult a Physician of Herbal Medicine to be certain they suit your particular diagnoses.

      Hi Christina,

      Thanks for the info. I don't feel I need it, but I enjoy the taste occasionally as a beverage, and for the pleasant feeling it can give (like a nice cup of green tea or chamomile tea or what have you).

      Have we met? I was in Gainesville late summer of 2008 and came to Sihing Anthony's Wellness Center for some classes.
