TRADITI(INAL
CHINESE
HERBS
AND THEIR PR()MISING
L()NGEVITY
PROPERTIES
For
thousands
of
years,
Ghinese
cultures
have
used
plants
and
herbs which are
be-
lieved
to
have healing
proper-
ties
or
to
retard
the aging
pro-
cess.
ln
recent
years,
there
is
increasing
to
demonstrate their
life-prolonging
effect.
Clinical
and
experimental
studies
over
the
past
decade
have showed
that
deterioration
of
the
immunological
and
superoxide
anion
catalyzing apparatus
in
the
elderly subjets
may
be
blocked
by
many
of
these
herbs,
which
dramatic,
modifi-
cation ol
the
diseases
develop-
ment.
Examples
discussed
here
in
the
article
have
ex-
tended
our
knowledge
of
the
prophylactic
and
therapeutic
potential
of
thousands
of
Chinese
herbs and
their
decoctions.
