The Greatest Herb on Planet Earth

In my years of studying herbs and minerals one stood out above the rest. This majestic herb is called Goji Berry or lycium barbarum, which in Chinese medicine means school of learning.

This herb can help with the introduction into herbalism because it tastes so good and is so easy to use. Goji berry can radically change your state of health and wellbeing by affecting you on a cellular level. Let’s explore the many benefits of consuming this delicious herb.

Documented by the Chinese government, the longest lived man on earth at age 252 years old consumed Goji berry every day.
