It is good for resistance to cold! We have used it in combination for heat imbalances in various disease treatments. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; Some people like to put it in the tonic or “superior” class of herbs with Ginseng, He Shou Wu, Jiao Gu Lan and others but that is incorrect!  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; This is used as needed only! Taking for life is not a wise thing at all! It can be hard on your body’s balance! Another herb you can take (For life if you want) with many of the same benefits is Siberian Ginseng. However taking He Shou Wu and Jiao Gu Lan for life is what I do and highly recommend for most people! Great stuff! &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=116814" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
