Goji - The Himalayan Health Secret

The Goji berry has been an important part of traditional Asian medicine throughout history. Despite the integral role it played in Asian healing, the Goji berry has remained virtually unknown throughout the rest of the world and its amazing nutritional value has remained a secret.

Those people who enjoy the health benefits of the Goji berry have passed down this tradition of healing through the generations by word of mouth. There are many ancient anecdotes which detail the amazing successes traditional healers have experienced by using the Goji berry as a part of their health regiments.

In fact the Goji berry remains such an important part of some Asian cultures that there is a 2 week festival celebrating its benefits held in Central Asia each year.
The legend of the Goji berry’s nutritional benefits dates back to 800 AD during the Tang Dynasty. A famous Buddhist temple is said to have had a vine of Goji growing along a wall right above the temple’s well. Countless berries fell from the vine directly into the well and over the years gave the water the anti aging power of this celebrated berry. Those who worshiped by the well and drank of its water lived long lives with excellent health throughout. In fact, the healing power of the Goji water was thought to be so great that even the physical signs of aging such as graying of hair and loss of teeth were remarkably delayed.
