Some texts also mention lycium as a longevity herb.
In the ayurvedic tradition, all of the rasayana herbs promote longevity. Another Sanskrit name for guduchi is amrit (or amrita), which means "immortality," or "nectar of immortality." The Chyavanprash formula, which contains amla, is believed to help maintain youthfulness, vigor, and vitality. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The quest for immortality is fraught with peril at many levels. People love the romantic idea of living forever, but they fail to consider the consequences of what might happen to our species if, indeed, immortality was cheap and attainable by the masses.
Fortunately, anti-aging technology is exceedingly difficult to master, and I don't see any practical applications of an anti-aging vaccine in our lifetime. It doesn't mean I'm against the concept of anti-aging as most people think of it, which simply means staying active and healthy into the later years of life. | | Before long, it would become apparent to all of the adults in society -- that is, those who have attained immortality -- that the fixed resources on the planet Earth can only support a fixed a number of people, therefore, to support the lives of all of those already there, they will have to limit new births.
You can see where this is going. With the limitation of new births, we would stop bringing new blood and new ideas into our civilization. All the immortal old people would hang around forever, consuming all the resources and passing new laws to restrict births even more. | | REPPED: There's a lot of talk about anti-aging research today, but with all the promises of longevity and even immortality, almost no one has apparently considered the consequences of human beings living forever. The more you think about it, the scarier the idea becomes.
Think of the people who currently hold power in medicine, pharmaceuticals, media or government. Imagine if they never died. In fact, if you think about it, one of the best things about some people is the fact that they will eventually be six feet under. Actually, that's true for us all. | | People love the romantic idea of living forever, but they fail to consider the consequences of what might happen to our species if, indeed, immortality was cheap and attainable by the masses.

Since the seventeenth century, some have understood that those who earn their living with their hands face bold, palpable and unsurprising hazards. The shortened lives and wizened bodies of miners, blacksmiths, printers, and leather tanners were the stuff of literature and occasional dark paintings or grim woodcuts. Dickens, Shaw and Marx wrote of the vile working conditions of girls and boys in the mines, foundries and metal works. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Burr wrote a book called Blueprint for immortality that explained how you could detect all kinds of physical problems in the energy field before you could identify them through traditional diagnosis. Doing so has a huge impact on many healthcare problems where time is of the essence, such as cancer. I've used this "early diagnostic method" myself many times, where simply by looking at someone's energy field, I can identify cancer in that person before there is anything manifest in the body. With a jump like that, we can knock the cancer out quickly before it has a chance to do real damage. |

These are the immortals. The Taoist landscape paintings of China and Japan depict supremely the heavenliness of this terrestrial state. | | The sophistication of the humor of the infantile imagery, when inflected in a skillful mythological rendition of metaphysical doctrine, emerges magnificently in one of the best known of the great myths of the Oriental world: the Hindu account of the primordial battle between the titans and the gods for the liquor of immortality. An ancient earth being, Kashyapa, "The Turtle Man," had married thirteen of the daughters of a still more ancient demiurgic patriarch, Daksha, "The Lord of Virtue." Two of these daughters, Diti and Aditi by name, had given birth respectively to the titans and the gods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cancer cells are more alkaline than surrounding tissues which results in their immortality. Furthermore, tumor cells are overloaded with calcium, which is why they are so alkaline. High pH therapy is a false cure which distracts many who suffer with cancer, or who wish to prevent cancer. Millions of dollars of coral calcium continue to be sold as a cure all for cancers and other diseases when credible evidence points in the direction of antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10, acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, IP6 rice bran extract, vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E. |

Thus it appears that though these myths of creation narrate of the remotest past, they speak at the same time of the present origin of the individual. "Each soul and spirit," we read in the Hebrew Zohar, "prior to its entering into this world, consists of a male and female united into one being. When it descends on this earth the two parts separate and animate two different bodies. At

Compare the folk lore motif of the transformation flight, supra, pp. 197-198. | | The greatest tale of the elixir quest in the Mesopotamian, pre-Biblical tradition is that of Gilgamesh, a legendary king of the Sumerian city of Erech, who set forth to attain the watercress of immortality, the plant "Never Grow Old." After he had passed safely the lions that guard the foothills and the scorpion men who watch the heaven-supporting mountains, he came, amidst the mountains, to a paradise garden of flowers, fruits, and precious stones. Pressing on, he arrived at the sea that surrounds the world. |

Its special chemical makeup was thought to be a tonic for a long and healthy life. In traditional Chinese medicine, reishi is still considered to be among the highest class of tonics.
Now we're finding out that they may have been on to something. One study at Cornell Medical College found that reishi reduced side effects during chemotherapy while improving the quality of life. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The spiral symbol can indicate "potential energy" or "the seed of life," or, as Monica Sjoo suggests, "the spiral is the symbolic key to immortality or the eternal process." Jill Purse, author of The Mystic Spiral, says, "The spiral is a cosmic symbol—a natural form of growth, and has become, in every culture and every age, humanity's symbol of the progress of the soul towards eternal life. As the inward winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still centre where the secret of life is found. |

TEA SPREADS FROM THE ELITE TO THE POPULACE
At about the time that the Ch'a Ching was written, we find the first recorded use of a "tea tax." Apparently, Lu Yu had raved about the quality of tea from a certain region; in response, an imperial envoy was dispatched to bring back a small quantity as a sample. The court so enjoyed this fine tea that the emperor demanded that the region send an annual supply as a "tribute. |

"All things are in process, rising and returning. Plants come to blossom, but only to return to the root. Returning to the root is like seeking tranquility. Seeking tranquility is like moving toward destiny. To move toward destiny is like eternity. To know eternity is enlightenment, and not to recognize eternity brings disorder and evil. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Short summary from the link above:
"Aloe, native to Africa, is also known as "lily of the desert", the "plant of immortality", and the "medicine plant". The name was derived from the Arabic alloeh meaning "bitter" because of the bitter liquid found in the leaves. In 1500 B.C. Egyptians recorded use of the herbal plant in treating burns, infections and parasites.
There are over 500 species of aloe growing in climates worldwide. Ancient Greeks, Arabs and Spaniards have used the plant throughout the millennia. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While Calgon may have achieved advertising immortality with a slogan that capitalized on our overstressed society, most of us are so beaten and bruised and burdened by stress that we've actually gotten used to it. But here's the thing: We like to write off stress as an element of life that we just live with. It is what it is, and we deal. Because it's intangible, it can't be bad for us, right? Nope. Stress is as concrete a condition as any of the others we cover in this book. |

On the one hand, we're told that we are frail and powerless beings who live in a world where things just "happen" for no apparent reason. On the other hand, our most ancient and cherished spiritual traditions tell us that there's a force that lives within every one of us, a power that nothing in the world can touch. |

To further describe the relationship between ourselves and our souls, physicist Dr. Fred Wolf says, "the soul's fundamental purpose is the shaping of knowledge into material form" and "anything that comes into existence did so through the soul's desire to manifest." He continues, "the soul communicates instantaneously with the self by collapsing its boundaries. Similarly, the self is capable of communicating with the soul by expanding its boundaries. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Soma was considered the elixir of immortality, the secret substance used by alchemists to perfect both body and mind. This sounds like what we know to be shilajit.
A classic medicinal confection known as yogaraja was made by combining shilajit, prepared iron, iron pyrite, and silver, along with triphala, ginger, black pepper, pippali long pepper, plumbago root, and baberang seeds, with sugar and honey. This formula was used for people with anemia, tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, and weakness. |

"Take three pounds of genuine cinnabar," Ko Hung wrote, "and one pound of white honey. Mix them. Dry the mixture in the sun. Then roast it over a fire until it can be shaped into pills. Take ten pills the size of a hemp seed every morning. Inside of a year, white hair will turn black, decayed teeth will grow again, and the body will become sleek and glistening. If an old man takes this medicine for a long period of time, he will develop into a young man. |

Siberians secretly transported the herb down ancient trails to the Caucasian Mountains, where it was traded for Georgian wines, fruits, garlic, and honey.
In Siberia, rhodiola was taken regularly, especially during the cold and wet winters, to prevent sickness. In Mongolia, it was used for the treatment of tuberculosis and cancer. |

According to Katz, "Zyflamend's [combined] effects were found to be significandy more potent than a compound in the spice turmeric called curcumin, which is believed by many researchers to be one of the most promising molecules for the prevention and treatment of cancer." In fact, Zyflamend was found to be almost equivalent in its COX-2 inhibiting activity to the pharmaceutical selective COX-2 inhibiting drug NS-398. |

During the Babylonian era (2100-689 b.c.e.), the Babylonians used sesame oil to make exotic perfumes and medicine. Records also indicate that the Egyptians prescribed the sesame as medicine around 1500 b.c.e. and used the oil as ceremonial purification.
The Europeans encountered the sesame seeds when they were imported from India during the first century ce. In the seventeenth century, the sesame seed was brought to the United States from Africa. |
