Astragalus membranaceus

Astragalus membranaceus is an important anti-aging herb often used in Chinese medicine. Rich in anti-oxidant, the herb is known to promote blood circulation, boost immune system and is anti-inflammatory. Modern pharmacological study also showed that Astragalus membranaceus possesses telomerase-activating effect and therefore has the potential to slow-down the aging process.

Angelica sinensis

Also know as the “woman’s ginseng,” Angelica sinensis is one of the most widely used Chinese herbs.  The herb contains anti-oxidants (phenols and flavonoids), immune-boosting polysaccharides, triterpene glycosides such as the astragalosides, various amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, essential oils, and minerals. Modern pharmacology study suggests that Angelica sinensis boosts immune system, suppresses cancer cell growth, and promotes wound healing.  In Chinese herbal medicine, the herb is used to stimulate blood circulation to the skin to promote a healthy complexion.
