Ginseng and Velvet Antler as two anti-aging remedies have been backed up by scientific research in Russia, Korea, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and other countries. Ginseng and Velvet Antler are highly prized and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over two thousand years. Both of them have been confirmed by the scientific studies and clinical trials to have the following main benefits:
Anti-aging;
Enhances immune system;
Increases vitality;
Balances metabolism;
Increases strength, stamina and endurance;
Fertility and libido;
Recovery from surgery, and illness;
Wound healing;
Increases mental and physical work capacity;
Stress adaptation, calm nerves;
One may wonder: do they have the same effects? Do Ginseng and Velvet Antler really have anti-aging benefits? Well, the answers are “yes” and “no”.
There is a problem in the western scientific studies on traditional medicines. The scientists in the West treat patients as a “group”, not “individuals” who have different health conditions. When they found a medicine that is effective to, for example, 70% of the patients of the test group, they approve the medicine and recommend it to and use it on every one (100% of the patients)! That is totally wrong in the eyes of traditional medical science! A medicine may be good for others who have the “same” disease as yours, but may not be good for you, because people are different even both of you and them have some of the same symptoms – for example, aging related problems.
According to the traditional medicine guidelines, both of ginseng and velvet antler are warming tonics. But they work on different organs of the body and drive the energy flow in body in different directions. Ginseng mainly affects upper body. It warms and stimulates lung, heart and stomach. Velvet antler mainly affects lower body. It warms and stimulates genital organs, adrenal gland, kidney, prostate and bladder. So ginseng has lifting (or raising) properties. It guides (leads) energy flow to the upper body. It drives energy flow upward. And velvet antler has the reverse properties in direction. It guides energy flow to the lower body. It drives energy flow downward.
