What are Jing herbs?

Jing is a concept from traditional Chinese medicine rather than a chemical category. Herbs grouped as Jing tonics were classified that way by practitioners working within that tradition, not by modern analysis, so the grouping reflects a philosophy rather than a shared compound.

Superfoods Australia's range of Jing herbs can be added to smoothies, meals and teas. Refer to individual products for usage suggestions.

The Three Treasures

Traditional Chinese medicine describes three vital treasures: Jing, Qi and Shen. In this framework Jing is understood as essence — the deepest and slowest to replenish of the three, associated with the body's foundational reserves.

The tradition holds that Jing is present from birth in a finite quantity, gradually depleted over a lifetime, and depleted faster by overwork, poor sleep and excess. Practitioners prescribed Jing tonic herbs with the aim of conserving and supporting it.

It is worth being clear that this is a traditional framework with a long history, not a description of a mechanism recognised by modern physiology. It is interesting on its own terms, and it is why this collection exists as a category at all.
