Historical
Information
During successive
dynasties, Chinese emperors in their palace led an existence very
different from that of the people in general. Often, they might have
been affected physically or psychologically by the constraints associated
with their position. Because of their rank and life style, their health
problems received special treatment.
By tradition,
the best physicians of the empire were summoned to the court where
they lived in permanent attendance on the emperor. They bore the
heavy responsibility of keeping constant watch over his health and
his vitality. These physicians created secret formulas (Bi Fang)
which were not divulged outside the palace. These formulas for long
life had to be effective enough to produce visible effects on the
emperorís vitality. At the same time, they had to be very safe and
cause no undesirable side effects. Indeed, certain emperors did
not hesitate to inflict cruel punishment if they were not satisfied.
Leung
Foundation in Switzerland
Our physical
constitution today is very different from that of the ancient Chinese.
Research work carried out by Dr. Leung and the Leung Foundation of
Switzerland has led to the development of the Qing Chun Bu formulas
which are nutritional preparations directly derived from these ancient
recipes for long life. These preparations are mainly composed of Chinese
herbs and vegetables specially chosen for their regenerative properties.
They are not intended simply to act as a temporary "pick-me-ups",
since it is essential that a long-lasting and effective restorative
recipe should act gently and gradually.
The short-term
pep pill type product has always existed in China, as in elsewhere,
but they were regarded as "charlatanesque" (Jiang Hu Yao). Their
stimulant effect has simply been a sales gimmick.
This is not
the spirit in which the preparation of Qing Chun Bu was conceived.
Its actions, although appreciable, strengthen the organism without
putting it under stress or producing undesirable side effects.
