Imperial Garden is based on the time proven Return to Youth Formula, developed in the eleventh century and used continuously since that time. Imperial Garden is considered to be an “Imperial version” of Return to Youth because it contains a very powerful lead herb that was not generally available to common people at the time. That herb is Cordyceps, an herb of significant primal power. Cordyceps is both a deep Jing tonic that tonifies both Yin and Yang, and a superb Qi tonic that strengthens the Lungs.
Imperial Garden is one of the greatest of all tonic formulations, and is in particular a superb Yin and Yang Jing tonic. This formula influences primarily the Kidney function (both Yin and Yang). It is also considered to be a Heart, Liver and Spleen tonic. In addition, Imperial Garden is an excellent blood tonic. It is used to strengthen the entire body, and is especially respected as a brain tonic. It is also highly regarded as a long term sexual tonic for both men and women. Imperial Garden is used to strengthen the legs and the back. It is a major "rejuvenation formula". It may be used continuously and indefinitely as a primary Jing strengthening tonic.
Imperial Garden is used to help strengthen the sense organs, improve memory and the ability to concentrate, to overcome general weakness, chronic fatigue, to enhance male potency and female libido and fertility, and for premature aging and rapid degeneration. This superb essence (Jing) tonic is suited to men and women of all ages.
The Herbs in Imperial Garden
Cordyceps Mushroom is one of the absolute superstars of the Chinese tonic herbal system. It is an extremely effective and powerful life-enhancing agent, ranking right up there with Ginseng, Reishi and Deer Antler. This rare and precious herb is considered to be a moderately Yang primal essence (Jing) tonic of the highest stature. It is a mushroom. It is said to build sexual and physical power, mental energy, the immune system and is universally believed in the Orient to prolong life. Cordyceps is used to strengthen the body and mind at a fundamental level. It is said to be able to increase the “primary motive force for life activities.” Because it contains both Yin and Yang it can be used by anyone safely and over a long period of time.

It is a very powerful Yang tonic. As a sexual tonic, Cordyceps is considered to be one of the best. Cordyceps is also a major Lung tonic. It can be used to strengthen respiratory power in those who require extra energy in order to perform physical work (e.g. labor, sports or exercise) or it can be used by those who suffer from deficiency of Lung power. It is especially beneficial to those who suffer chronic Lung weakness with cough, wheezing or shortness of breath. Cordyceps is considered in Asia to be a powerful athlete’s tonic. It has no steroidal constituents, but greatly improves performance and muscle building capability.
