In this episode, Dr. George Lamoureux covers TWO herbs that are both plant-based yang tonics: Eucommia and Morinda. There is a reason why we addressed these two herbs together. There are many similarities, but there are also some differences. These two Jing herbs are particularly unique in that while they are both categorized as Yang Jing, they are also gentle in nature, making them beneficial for both men and women to take. In this episode we discuss the actions and benefits of each of these tonics, including case studies for specific positive uses. One of these herbs is said to treat “Great Wind Evil Qi”… which superhero herb does this and what does this mean? If you or someone you love has any issue with their bones: broken or fractured bones, osteoporosis, fractures, athletes, post-menopausal women, pregnant women, etc., you will want to let them know about these two powerful superior herbs.

There is raw Astragalus and prepared or cooked Astragalus. What is the difference in these two preparation styles? Do they affect the body differently? When should you take Astragalus and is there ever a time to NOT take it?
