Superior Quality of Precious Herbs from Changbai Mountain

Beside the functional properties of herbs as post earlier, herbs grown in Changbai Mountain overwhelmed the other herbs from other parts of the world. That is because Changbai Mountain is a rest volcano and the last time it exploded was in Ming Dynasty. Its rich volcanic soils nourish the herbs and plants that grow in the area. Natural minerals and trace elements, especially germanium and selenium are absorbed into the plants and changed into organic matters. Herbs that rich in organic germanium and selenium have high anti-cancer and immune modulating properties.

Selenium, when used in combination with anti-cancer drugs, increases the therapeutic effects and reduces its side effects. Numerous research studies have shown that selenium could stimulate the productions of immunoglobulins and antibodies, thus enhances the host's defense systems and healing power. In addition, selenium also protects the function of thymus gland and maintains the bioactivity of lymphocytes. Other than enhancing the body immune function, selenium also restrained the aging process. Toxins are produced during metabolism that caused cell aging and selenium plays a vital role in eliminating these toxins.
