We all want to live our lives fully, successfully, healthfully and happily. In the
Orient, these attainments are cumulatively called 'radiant health.' Physical
health alone becomes irrelevant if it is accompanied by a troubled life,
unhappiness, or failure. The loss of our physical health can become an allconsuming disaster. Sooner or later, most of us fall prey to various
disharmonies in our lives and to small or serious ailments, which can
accumulate and disrupt our lives and reduce our capacity to live fully or reach
our potential.
Yet it is possible to build and protect our health so that we can live life optimally.
Radiant health is attainable, and we can maintain it once we have it. Radiant
health is attainable if we learn the secrets of living in accord with Natures laws
and take advantage of a few of Natures tools.
Among the great 'tools' discovered by humankind to aid in the attainment of
radiant health are the Chinese tonic herbs, also called the 'Superior Herbs' in
Asia. The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most
fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have
always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural
substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living, and thus
are associated with the ideals of long life, slow aging, glowing health,
happiness, wisdom, physical vitality, adaptability, sexual vigor and response,
mental acuity and clear intuition, love and compassion, and harmonious
relations with nature and with one's fellow human beings. By achieving these
goals, one can be said to have attained true 'radiant health.'
The ultimate purpose of consuming Chinese tonic herbs and of applying the
principles of this 'way of radiant health' is not so much to eradicate disease, as it
is to achieve these ideal goals of living. It has become clear over many
centuries that the great Chinese tonic herbs can make a very major contribution
toward one's ultimate well being by providing very special nutrients that help the
body-mind become radiantly healthy.
What distinguishes Chinese herbalism from other systems has been the attitude
the Chinese and other Asian societies have taken toward health. Putting the
emphasis on promoting health, they have created a body of knowledge
concerning the health-promoting tonic herbs that no other society or system has
matched. Other systems have emphasized the remedial over the preventive, at
least as it has come down to us today.
Traditional Asian herbalism has evolved over thousands of years. The Chinese
have chronicled their discoveries and have passed the knowledge along from
generation to generation for over three thousand years. Because of their
respect for, and continued utilization of these herbs, Asian societies have paid
special attention to preserving the existence of these treasures of the earth. The
vast traditional herbal knowledge that has developed through centuries of
continued practice has led recently to an intense search for scientific
understanding, and for new improved methods of cultivation, production,
distribution and consumption.
As a result of three decades of research in thousands of institutions and
laboratories throughout the world, Asian herbalism is now becoming well
understood and is taking its rightful place as a major form of health care

throughout the world. Science and traditionalism have been well blended in
Asia, where the traditional is respected but science is required to meet modern
standards. Thousands of herbs have been thoroughly examined. Major
research institutes throughout Asia have performed innumerable studies on the
major tonic herbs, and thus these natural substances are now becoming quite
well understood. There is a logic to the herbs based not only on age-old
tradition, but on good modern science.

This is an incredibly exciting time in human evolution. It is truly an exhilarating

time, full of promise but also full of danger. I, for one, want to live a long life,
free from disease and suffering. And I want to age slowly and gracefully. I want
to be physically strong and clear minded. I want satisfaction and fulfilment. I am
sure that you share these goals with me.
Many years ago, I became the student of a great Daoist master who taught me
about many things about life, including the art of the superior herbalism, also
known as tonic herbalism. This art changed (saved) my life, and I have since
found fulfilment in my life by passing the knowledge of this art on to as many
people as I can. It is my complete belief that the principles of tonic herbalism,
and of course the herbs themselves, can improve the lives of virtually every
person on the planet, were each person to become aware of them. The tonic
herbs are health promoting. They protect us and slow down the aging process.
They encourage our creativity and help make us lovelier. They strengthen us
and allow us to accomplish our goals. They promote our wisdom. And they are
especially important to all of us right now.
There have been several revolutionary explosions in the world in the past
century and many of us have played a part in these incredible changes for
good or ill. For one, the population has doubled in our lifetime. This has led to,
and will further lead to, incredible problems for you and me, and even more so
for our children. We must not only feed and house everyone, but we owe it to
each and every soul on earth to help them achieve happiness, health, peace
and a satisfactory life. If we fail to accomplish these basics, it will come back to
destroy much or all of what we have created. The world is one whole we must
never lose sight of this one fundamental truth.
On the other hand, the technological revolution that has now evolved into the
digital age has opened the door to a new era of world unification, free flow of
goods and services, and freedom of expression. On the technological front, the
future is truly amazing, and we truly have a lot to look forward to. The future is in
our hands, for ourselves and for our children.
But perhaps, ultimately, the most important revolution has been the revolution in
social awareness and spiritual consciousness that was spawned in the 1960s
and has continued to mature for the past thirty five years. This revolution has
drawn heavily from the wisdom of the ancient Far East, as well as from
enlightened indigenous cultures from throughout the world. Issues such as
human rights, the environment (ecology) and health care have altered your life
and the lives of people throughout the world. One area of great interest to many
people has been the issue of natural health care, and in particular, natural
means of achieving radiant. 'Radiant health' is defined in the Orient as
'health beyond danger.' We are now living in an era when the dream of
achieving consistent and genuine radiant health is within sight. Still, though,
many people have not found their way to a truly healthy lifestyle. Though the
means of achieving radiant health are available, the guidance of caring teachers
and providers remains necessary and will for quite some time. It is our goal to
pass on to you some of what we have learned.

The world is at a crossroads. If the planet is to be brought back to radiant

health, and if the human race is to survive and flourish, we all need to cultivate
our own personal health NOW, in conjunction with the health of human society
and the health of both the local and global environment. As our collective
awareness develops, it is becoming clear to a huge number of people that our
personal well being is totally dependent upon the health, sanity and well being
of human civilization and the health of the planet. Each of us, in our own way,
can contribute to making this a better, healthier, more harmonious world and
live a better, healthier, more fulfilling life as a result. The Asian tonic herbs can
help sustain our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual strength all
necessary at this point in human evolution. Health is the greatest of blessings,
and it is within reach for most of you. It all starts with your commitment to your
own radiant health and that of your families and friends.
For the first time it is possible for anyone to obtain the most incredible healthpromoting nutrients and supplements ever discovered. Herbal substances that
have always been so rare that they were available only to monarchs, aristocrats
and hermits are now available to you for the asking if you know what to look
for and where to look. And thats where we come in. We have spent many years
sourcing the finest, most effective herbal tonics in the world. We have identified
the best means of collecting these herbs, transporting them, processing them
so that they are at peak potency and efficacy, and delivering them to you (and to
ourselves, since we too are on the path of radiant health). We are very pleased
to offer the greatest line of tonic herbs in the world to anyone seeking to
improve their lives and to find true radiant health.
