The
Goji Revolution
When it comes to alternative healing, you either get it, or you don’t. You’re a believer, or you’re not. Aloe juice, mushrooms, green tea, homeopathic pain remedies; we’ve seen them come and go. The newest entry in natural healing is goji, a substance made from berries that are so cherished by the people of Central Asia that a yearly two-week-long festival is held in their honor.
After thousands of years of use, goji maintains a reputation of both healing and prevention properties. Tao Hong Jing (456-536 A.D.), a Taoist master, wrote that goji increases vital energy, while strengthening the user’s capacity for physical exercise. Among medicinal plants, goji is a colossus that few Americans knew existed until the berry was subjected to peer-reviewed scientific studies in the past two years that appear to make the case for its effectiveness.
Goji’s Health Benefits
Users believe that goji extends life, strengthens the immune system, controls hypertension, relieves headaches, controls blood sugar among diabetics, supports eye and heart health, eliminates sexual dysfunction and menopause symptoms, relieves stress and depression, eliminates insomnia, and helps with weight loss.
These are very substantial claims for the little plant, and on-going research is testing its effectiveness in cancer treatment and prevention, HIV treatment, and DNA restoration. If goji’s effectiveness in these diseases is disproved, there is no evidence that the plant causes any harm to the human body. In other words, even if it doesn’t help you, goji won’t harm you. It’s also safe for children and household canine and feline pets.
Where Can I Find Goji Products?
As a relative newcomer to natural healing, goji is not yet a regular staple in health food and vitamin stores. Producers of the product have rather strict guidelines about its storage and shelf-life; and these guidelines are difficult for mass outlets to offer.
Currently, the best place to learn about goji and try it for yourself is through websites. Just enter the word in your search engine, and you’ll be taken to dozens of sites that offer books, newsletters, and all forms of goji products. Some retailers even offer money-back guarantees if you don’t achieve beneficial results.
Goji products are a bit “pricey,” depending on how much you buy and where you buy it from. It’s about as expensive as a prescription medication, and there is may be no insurance plan that covers it. So, it really depends on whether you want to spend that kind of money or not.
