Next, let me introduce to you about traditional Chinese medicine in delaying aging. We should pay more attention to this knowledge in our daily life.

Traditional Chinese medicine has long been aware of anti-aging. There is a brilliant discussion on anti-aging in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic": "People in ancient times who knew the truth followed the laws of yin and yang and harmonized them with the art of numbers. They ate and drank in moderation, had regular daily routines, and did not overwork. As a result, they could keep their body and spirit in harmony and live out their natural lifespans, dying at the age of one hundred." Traditional Chinese medicine is TCM's weapon to fight disease and maintain health and fitness. The earliest Chinese pharmaceutical monograph, Shennong's Herbal Classic, contains 365 kinds of medicines, of which more than 100 are listed as "top-grade". Chinese medicines classified as top-grade are non-toxic “tonics” that have the effect of strengthening the body. After long-term practice, Chinese medicine has continuously discovered new Chinese medicines with anti-aging effects (called "qingshen prolonging life" in herbal books). Here, we briefly introduce some traditional Chinese medicines that have been proven to have anti-aging effects by both Chinese and Western medicine.

Polygonum multiflorum

The Song Dynasty's "Kaibao Materia Medica" calls it "long-term use can strengthen muscles and bones, improve essence and marrow, and prolong life." Modern research has found that Polygonum multiflorum can promote the growth of nerve cells and has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on neurasthenia and other nervous system diseases. It can also regulate serum cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and enhance the ability of liver cells to convert and metabolize cholesterol. Polygonum multiflorum also has good antioxidant effects.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution." Li Gao, a representative of the spleen and stomach school, believed that astragalus "replenishes vital energy and nourishes the three burners". Huang Gongxiu of the Qing Dynasty called astragalus "the best of all qi-replenishing medicines". Modern research has found that astragalus can not only dilate coronary arteries, improve myocardial blood supply, and enhance immune function, but also slow down the process of cell aging.
