Beschreibung

People who have experienced the effect of the herb on their own bodies agree: the herb of immortality is better than ginseng! It has been used for centuries in China as a tea from fresh leaves. Science became aware of Jiaogulan, as it is still called, because in the Chinese province of Guizhou the percentage of people over 100 years old is far above the population average. This is attributed to the regular consumption of this tea. The taste is reminiscent of ginseng and comes from the active components of the plant, gypenosides and ginsenosides.

Anbautipps

The herb of immortality is perennial and is considered hardy to around -15 °C, although the leaves freeze back above ground. The herb of immortality sprouts again in spring from the root suckers deep in the soil. The herb of immortality can be ideally trained up a trellis or used decoratively as a hanging plant.
