The leaves of jiao gu lan (pronouncd gee-ow-goo-lan), a gourd-like plant that grows wild in southern China, have been traditionally used to make medicine, which is used in similar applications as ginseng. A known adaptogen, jiao gu lan helps the body naturally counter internal and external stressors by balancing the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems.

- Lowering cholesterol levels
- Reducing high blood pressure
- Fortifying heart function
- Strengthening the immune system
- Increasing stamina and endurance
- Building resistance to environmental stress
- Supporting memory retention

Consider jiao gu lan for your patients being treated for pain/inflammation (ie, ulcers, back pain, complications of diabetes), digestive issues (ie, chronic stomach pain, gallstones, constipation), chronic bronchitis/cough, insomnia, and poor appetite.
