Yuan Zhi, an herb to achieve heaven on earth

Yuan Zhi, or Polygala Root, is a type of Milkwort that is known as a Shen (spirit) tonic. It is known as the “Will Strengthener” and its name translates to “High Aspirations.” It is thought to relax the soul and calm the heart— to ease restlessness and anxiety. It calms the spirit, clears the orifices, resolves phlegm, and strengthens will power. It can also promote the feeling and experience of love.

Beyond all the above, Dr. Wu considers Yuan Zhi to support the feeling of being in heaven on earth. He translates the meaning of the herb as “Achieve your Goals” but also as being an immortal angel on earth; one who is able to have the focus, clarity and calmness of spirit to achieve anything here on earth, but who is also living in an angelic form— one who has transcended the earthly state.
