| During the Tang Dynasty (around 800 AD), a well had been dug beside a wall near a famous Buddhist temple that was covered with goji plants. Over the years, countless berries had fallen into the well. Those who prayed there had the ruddy complexion of good health, and even at the age of eighty they had no white hair and had lost no teeth, simply because they drank the water from the well. From this legend, a poem was crafted. It is said that the Himalayans were the first natural healers, and that they shared their wisdom with the ancient herbalists of China, Tibet, and India. One of their most prized secrets was the fruit of the native goji vine, which had been flourishing in the Himalayan valleys since the beginning of time. Those who came there to learn took the goji home with them and planted it in their own valleys, thus spreading the legend of this most marvelous and healthful fruit. Goji berries have been used in Tibetan and Chinese Medicine for centuries. People in the US and Europe are just now realizing what those in Asia have known and benefited from for many, many centuries. Also many in traditional medicine have noted that many of the longest living people in the world eat a diet rich in the goji berries (also known as Lycium Barbarum), and this tiny red fruit may well be one of the most powerful of all anti-aging foods known at this time. |
