"Kyung Ok Go" A Remedy for a Healthier, Longer Life!

According to the “Dong-Ui-Bo-Gam” (Examples of Medical Practice in Korea), one of the most authoritative sources of Korean traditional medical sciences, Kyungokgo is the first choice of prescriptions for those who seek after healthy, long life. Because of its pleasant flavor without side effect, this herbal medicine was widely consumed by families of the Joseon’s ruling class including royal families.

In the Joseon dynasty, Kyungokgo was regarded as very precious medicine so that it had to be made only after a devoted prayer service to goods of heaven and earth, and consumed by people of all ages and physical constitutions. It is a remarkable product made by combining the knowledge lasting for over four hundred years.

Kyungokgo can restore water energy and sexual stamina.

If you have dry skin and your hands and your feet become easily chapped, you may have what Oriental medicine doctors call “umheojung(Yin deficieny syndrome)” a disease often accompanied by weak knees, thinning hair, muscle tension and improperly functioning tendons.

According to Oriental medicine, this disease is caused by a lack of essential hormones in the body and by a deficiency of blood. The root of the problem lies in a dearth of “water” energy, one of the five elemental energies that make up the universe in Chinese philosophy. Like a tree without water, our body will slowly weaken when it is without water energy.

The herbal mixture Koreans call “kyungokgo” is the perfect solution to this problem. It not only fortifies our body with the water energy it lacks: also retards the aging process, strengthens bones and boosts the circulation of hormones. It is believed to help increase sexual stamina and restore one’s virility. For those who have to concentrate all their energies on preparing for exams or tests, there is no better herbal medicine than this. It quickly and easily relieves fatigue and weakness, refreshing the mind and body.

Kyungokgo is made from a mixture of three major herbs – “white Ginseng”, “Rehmannia root”, and “White Hoelen” and Honey.

These ingredients are boiled at the lowest possible temperature for about a week, until they congeal into a thick paste. It is usually made in a very remote [place, like a mountain, so nobody disturbs the process, which involves many hands and requires special care to ensure its efficaciousness.

This herbal remedy, best taken mixed with hot water as a tea, has been considered an excellent health restorative since ancient times. It was recommended especially for the elderly, many of who continually lack energy.

The “Dong-Ui-Bo-Gam”, the best – known text on oriental medicine, lists kyungokgo as a powerful remedy that strengthens the heart and spleen. Because it boosts so many restorative powers, the remedy is also believed to prolong one’s life span.

In today’s fast-paced world, most people tend to disregard the need for a proper diet and a moderate lifestyle and reflexively reach for medicine whenever an obvious, health – endangering problem arises. But according to oriental medicine, it is important that humans eat healthy foods, exercise regularly and take herbal medicine on a daily basis, as prevention is the best cure.
