Goji: Natural High from the Himalayas
The Himalayan mountain range with the towering Mount Everest and the legendary Yeti has been a source of fantasy and mystery to the Western world. World War II pilots have dubbed the mountain ranges "the hump" because of the daunting and perilous trek over their peak that reaches over 20,000 feet high. In this incredible mountain range grows a Central Asian treasure -- the Himalayan goji plant. Found in Mongolia, Tibet and Nepal, this simple Himalayan goji plant and its berries have been revered for centuries. For centuries, the Himalayan goji plant has been a wonderful source of complete nutrition. The Himalayan goji plant, which has medicinal properties, was discovered in about 800 A.D. by Buddhist monks. The monks found an unknown plant growing near their well and some of the berries had fallen into the well water. As the monks continued to drink the water in the well, they noticed that their overall health and vitality increased. They attributed this newfound health to the Himalayan goji. Throughout the centuries, goji berries have been a staple in Asian natural herbal medicine. The unusual manner in which the plant was first discovered by the Buddhist monks is the reason that the Himalayan goji plant is considered a gift from the gods. Although it has been commonly used in Asian medicine for centuries, the Himalayan goji plant is relatively a newcomer, and unknown, in American and European herbal medicine. Western herbal medicine is more familiar with other alternative healing products such as aloe vera juice, bee royal jelly and seaweed or kelp extracts. Over the years, though, the Himalayan goji plant has gained scores of believers as well as its share of skeptics. For two years the Himalayan goji has undergone extensive scientific studies. These studies have been unable to deny the Himalayan gojis nutritional and medicinal properties. Furthermore, the Himalayan goji plant has been found to have significant health benefits in both the healing and prevention of cancer, tuberculosis, allergies, digestive problems, hypertension, sexual dysfunction, fertility, anti-aging and many more, all of which have been thoroughly observed and recorded. As more clinical test and trials continue, the Himalayan goji may well prove to be a mainstay and hold a prominent place in medical health care. As the popularity of the goji plant increases worldwide, producers of goji products have increased their production to meet the increasing demands from various countries. The demand for goji products is particularly high in the United States. However, with the different varieties of the goji plant, consumers often are unaware of exactly what version of the goji plant they are getting. There are different varieties of the goji plant. In Tibet alone, there are 41 sub-species of the goji plant. Other variations of the plant are found in Norway, Outer Patagonia and Arizona, but none of the different variants of the goji plant truly compares with the original Himalayan goji plant in terms of nutritional and medicinal properties. The Himalayan goji is traditionally grown and harvested "wild" rather than "farmed." Experts reveal that only the fertile soils of the Himalayan mountains can produce a goji plant and fruit that contains all the nutritional and medicinal properties it is known for. If you are looking for authentic Himalayan-grown goji online, search for websites that validate that their products are made only from goji berries grown in places like Inner Mongolia, the provinces of Ningxia, Xingjian, and the Heavenly Mountains of western China. These are the only primary growing grounds for "real" Himalayan goji.
