What is the health and longevity philosophy of Jing Herbs?
According to Taoist tradition, there are three fundamental energies that are housed in all living beings; Jing, Qi, and Shen. These are the energies that constitute our very existence and they are considered to be treasures that should be protected, nourished, and cultivated. Because they are fundamental to life, they are considered to be treasures that should be nourished, protected, and balance. For this reason, they are referred to as the Three Treasures.

Essence (Jing), “the giver of life,” is the first Treasure. It is the primal energy we receive at conception that is meant to last us our lifetime. It is the foundation energy of our existence. It is the root energy of the body that is responsible for procreation, physical energy, sexual energy, creativity, longevity, and youthfulness.

Energy (Qi), “the breathe of life,” is the second Treasure. While Essence (Jing) is our deep reserve of energy, Qi is more of a surface energy that is our day to day vitality. It is the energy we derive from the air we breathe and foods we eat. As such, our Lungs and digestive organs (Spleen and Stomach) play a critical role in building this energy.

Shen, “the light of life,” is the third Treasure and is translated as “spirit.” But it is much more than just our spirit. It is our higher self. Our connection to the Divine. Shen is housed in the Heart and provides us with feelings of peace, calm, and serenity. It gives us proper perspective on our life and our place in the universe.

To neglect one aspect of the Three Treasures, is to neglect them all. Jing herbs is dedicated to protecting, nourishing, and cultivating the Three Treasures.

How did the Jing Herbs name come into being?

While we are committed to sharing the transformational power of tonic herbs, we also know that long term health and fitness requires more than just taking herbs and vitamins.

That is why we encourage all of our herbal clients to participate in some sort of exercise on a daily basis. We don’t care what it is, just as long as you do it regularly and it works for you. We provide suggestions and a contact list of various places and practices for those that need guidance to get going. We also hope that our employees stand as shining examples of health and fitness as well.
