Medicine Hunter Presents: Jiaogulan

Reporting from the Chiang Mai province in Thailand, Chris Kilham introduces a little-known but promising adoptegenic herb, known locally as jiaogulan. Its leaves, consumed as a tea, provide saponins similar to those in ginseng. In this video, he visits a plantation where the herb is grown, and provides an inside look at its cultivation.

I would like to see more information about cultivating and processing adaptogens.

This needs a million views honestly

[@WalkingMoments]

Still taking it? Any results?

[@ArimaSenne1]

​@@WalkingMoments I use 98% jiaogulan extract, there's such a supplement on amazon with 200mg capsules. I use it for dopamine and theres studies saying it regenerates dopamine neurons. It seems to work extremely good for this. It's impressive - if it was native to europe or america then it would definitely be more popular in these areas

@@WalkingMoments - have been taking about 5 years. More energy, a happy feeling, rarely get a cold. If I run out can definitely tell a difference in energy level.

I live in a tropical country with hot sun, and planted jiaogulan in large pots, pus screen anti sun 50% .... should I put another 30% more ??
The first time I threw branches and leaves were many leaves, but now the second time are very few ... how do I get back to have more leaves? Grateful.
The earth is fertilized and I put water every day.

Drinking it right now sat here in my Chiang Mai house

[@charlessavoie2367]

I take it as capsules with nettle, pterostilbene, sulforaphane, silymarin, fo-ti, PQQ, bioperine and carnosine.

[@ricardochaves7816]

I live in a tropical country, it makes 40 degrees Celsius in the afternoons, and I ask for guidance how many times a week I must water the Jiaogulan, I appreciate the help. I do not leave sun straight on it and it planted in a very airy place without the sultriness of the heat, but I have difficulties in finding the right amount of water.

[@Teasenz]

In China, it's part of the range of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tastes wonderful as well. With regards to health benefits, it generally healthy, but depends on personal conditions as well.

[@funfarmanimals4437]

Does this plant turns leaves red in autumn, as i have them so much and they are so invasive, that i have to tier them down from my fruit trees and bushes every year, as i didn't know that they have some health benefits. But they look very beatiful in autumn as a fence.

[@urbanyardfull]

Sounds like you are talking about Virginia creeper - not Gynostemma pentaphyllum

[@melvinaroundy4647]

I want some seeds. We're can I get some that are safe?

[@Glow0110]

You were in Chiang Mai and didn't go meet Marc at Aum Tea??

[@Michael-gq9cd]

Glow0110 you’ve got some serious medical-grade sulfur stuck your bowels, my friend!

[@TheEcoDesigner]

Can Jaiogulon be cloned?

[@johnmcfadden9336]

A small plant carefully looked after will rapidly spread

[@kekoakaawa8879]

Can women ingest jiaogulan? Does it block estrogen or increase testosterone?

[@davidgo8874]

It's safe for anyone. Enjoy.
