Book Title: "Velvet Antler, Nature’s Superior Tonic"Author: Alison Davidson

This book that reveals how this powerful rejuvenating tonic boosts physical stamina and mental power, builds blood, normalizes blood pressure, treats joint problems, improves liver and kidney function and helps prevent aging. Velvet antler is one of the most important herbs in Oriental medicine, and has been documented in use for over 2000 years.

Among the several thousand herbs used in Chinese traditional medicine, there is a small but elite group known since ancient times as the ‘‘klingly’’ or ‘‘Imperial’’ herbs. These were the tonic herbs used by emperors and sages, the wealthy and discerning; very special herbs that were recognized as having extraordinary health promoting benefits for those fortunate, or wealthy enough to acquire them.

While relatively unknown in the West, many of these wonderful tonic herbs have a history of continuous use dating back thousands of years, and they are still in use today for one reason only——because they work.

Among these kingly herbs, and ranking alongside ginseng as one of the most precious of all, is deer antler velvet, rapidly proving its reputation in the West as an outstanding energy tonic and adaptogen. Today, as a renaissance of herbalism and natural medicine spreads throughout the West, much attention is being focused on remedies which can treat the whole person in a gentle and balanced way. While velvet antler has been extensively researched and used clinically in Russia since the 1930s, recent interest in this ancient remedy has been aroused by the results of a unique scientific testing programme carried out in New Zealand. These results are capturing the attention of scientists in the West and exciting clinical researchers with the potential applications of velvet antler in the area of mainstream medicine.

To date, these groundbreaking tests have shown deer velvet antler:

··To stimulate the immune system

··To contain anti-inflammatory agents reducing pain and inflammation

··To contain marked anabolic or growth stimulating properties

··To increase muscular strength and endurance

··To significantly reduce the damaging side effects of chemotherapy drugs, while at the same time increasing their effectiveness.

Written to serve as an introduction to this ancient and powerful remedy, this book briefly covers antler velvet’s history and tradition of use, the scientific research which supports these traditional claims, together with examples of velvet’s well-documented therapeutic benefits.
