Jiaogulan: "immortality herb."

Jiaogulan is an herb that has many benefits:
Jiaogulan is a perennial vine belonging to the cucumber family that is native to China, Korea and Japan. Since the herb is similar to ginseng in terms of chemical composition, and grows so abundantly in southern China, jiaogulan is sometimes referred to as "southern ginseng." Residents of the Guizhou Province, who regularly drink jiaogulan tea and reputedly live to a very old age, know the plant as the "immortality herb."
