Description
Tao in a Bottle is a revolutionary new anti-stress formulation.
We all know that life can be stressful, in fact for most people life is
innately stressful. Even the things that bring happiness in our lives —
our families, relationships, careers and hobbies can be a source of
anxiety and tension when times are tough. And the very things we’ve
taken for granted as Americans – our safety and freedom – are now an
additional source of worry and fear. As a result, many of us are simply
feeling more anxious
and tense than ever before.
Stress is the root of much of the unhappiness, disharmony and sickness
people suffer. Almost every sickness is caused by stress, or greatly
magnified by it. It is well established that “stress kills.” Certainly,
excessive stress,
and our reactions to it, shorten our lives and make life less
pleasurable.
Stress management is critical to health and happiness. Humans practice
innumerable ways of stress management, from religion (and prayer,
meditation, yoga, chanting, service, etc.) to techniques like
biofeedback, to recreational sex, to drinking alcohol, to gambling,
etc., and to sports and athletics, including working out and dancing,
etc.
For millions of people, anxiety and stress is handled in a destructive
way. We’ve all heard the terms “comfort food”, “social drinking” or
“casual smoking.” These are all destructive forms of self medication
aimed at reducing our daily stress.
Tao in a Bottle is a wonderful new herbal discovery. Tao in a Bottle is
a 100% natural, totally safe herbal supplement that will help you
achieve a natural state of relaxation without drowsiness. In fact, used
regularly Tao in a Bottle will actually allow you to deal with your
everyday stress without being tense, and will help you improve your
performance in whatever you do.
What is Tao in a Bottle? Will I actually be relaxed during a stressful
day?
Tao in a Bottle is a new and unique formula designed by Master
Herbalist Ron Teeguarden
It is designed to help us handle stress.
Tao in a Bottle is unlike anything that has been available before.
The main ingredient is an amino acid called theanine. Theanine is an
amino acid found only in green tea.
Theanine is the first herbal ingredient that helps you to feel calm and
alert at the same time, and it works quickly to release tension and
worry.
Tao in a Bottle also contains special adaptogenic herbs. If you use Tao
in a Bottle regularly, you will become more resistant to stress.
What do we mean by “relaxation?”
Relaxation is a natural state of being that occurs when we are not
stressed.
When we are relaxed, we feel like our “true selves.”
When we are relaxed, we are not nervous, and we do not come from a
place of fear, worry, anxiety or anger when reacting to the events of
our lives and the people we encounter
We often make mistakes because of our anxiety, then we feel
disappointed in ourselves, and that just adds to our stress.
We all have moments when we feel really “on.” There are different names
for that feeling: “in the groove”, “in the flow.” Ron Teeguarden calls
that feeling a state of “peaceful alertness”
When you take Tao in a Bottle, the tension just melts away
When you use Tao in a Bottle regularly, you can experience that state
of
peaceful alertness the majority of the time.
Is it true that I will feel the affects of Tao in a Bottle within
minutes, and are there long-term benefits?
Most people feel an effect within 30 to 40 minutes, and the results can
last an entire day.
When you take it every day the effects are actually cumulative.
Over a period of time you’re ability to handle stress will increase.
Why are there adaptogenic herbs in Tao in a Bottle?
Adaptogenic herbs are a class of herbs that help us adapt to stress.
They provide energy (vitality) that specifically helps us to deal with
stress of any kind
Adaptogenic herbs are not specifically medicinal
They have been used for over 2000 years to make life easier, more
enjoyable, satisfying and more fulfilling. They are the most important
herbs in the world because they promote a long, healthy, happy life.
Adaptogenic herbs help us to maintain balance under stressful
circumstances, and they help us recover from stress more quickly and
effectively.
They protect us from many of the influences in nature that cause us to
age more quickly, including pollution, radiation, toxins, and the free
radicals caused by stress. All adaptogenic herbs have been proven to
strongly boost our immune system, while mitigating excessive immune
responses such as those
that cause auto-immune disorders and allergies. Adaptogenic herbs are
extremely
beneficial.
As a result, we can deal more effectively with things that usually make
us tense, anxious and angry.
Is there anything like Tao in a Bottle available in health food stores?
No. The main ingredient is new to the American market.
As far as we know, this is the first time anyone in the America has
blended theanine, which provides immediate relief from stress and
tension, with the
adaptogenic herbs which make us more resistant to stress over time.
The quality of the herbs in Tao in a Bottle is superior to that of most
products in the marketplace. Ron Teeguarden personally travels to China
to pick out only the highest quality of herbs that are rarely if ever
sold in this country in health food stores. Dragon Herbs guaranties
that its
herbal ingredients are the finest in the world.
Tao in a Bottle is 100% natural, but does it use caffeine, ma huang,
kava or anything like that?
No. Tao in a Bottle does not contain any stimulants or sedatives.
Adaptogenic herbs have “double-direction activity.” If your body-mind
needs to be active, these herbs foster activity. If your body-mind
needs to be quiet, these same
herbs foster rest and recovery.
Caffeine and ma huang (ephedrine) are actually stimulants that can
increase our sense of anxiety.
Many people find that kava creates drowsiness. Recent studies indicate
kava may cause liver damage.
What is theanine?
The principal ingredient in Tao in a Bottle is called theanine.
Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in Green Tea.
Scientists have known for a long time that theanine promotes
relaxation, but they only recently learned how to produce it, using a
sophisticated fermentation
technology.
It’s been available in Japan for over twenty years and is used as a
nutritional supplement to promote relaxation without drowsiness. But it
is not only used
as a nutritional supplement – it is also available in soft drinks,
candy and chewing gum to help people relax and to recover from hard
physical
workouts.
It just became available for the first time in the United States.
Would I get a similar benefit by just drinking Green Tea?
It would take 10-20 cups of Green Tea in one sitting to get a similar
amount
of the theanine found in Tao in a Bottle.
Can I purchase a similar product anywhere else?
Concentrated green tea capsules that you find in health food stores
have very little theanine and will not have the same effect as taking
Tao in a
Bottle.
Tao in a Bottle is a totally unique product, developed by Ron
Teeguarden to promote relaxation without drowsiness within minutes, and
to build the body-mind’s ability to handle stress over time. By
combining theanine with the world’s most powerful adaptogenic herbs,
every aspect of our ability to handle stress is addressed.
The quality of the herbs used to produce Tao in a Bottle is different
from
that used to make the commercial products found in natural food and
drug
stores – it is far superior, as are all Dragon Herbs products.
What are alpha waves, and what is the effect of Tao in a Bottle on our
alpha waves?
The brain generates brain waves that can be measured at the surface of
the skull. The waves reflect our state of mind. Alpha is the
designation for the state of mind, and thus the shape of the brain
waves, that occurs when a person is in a perfect state of conscious
balance – awake, alert, focused, and totally relaxed.
When alpha waves increase we feel calm and alert, relaxed and yet not
drowsy,
unstressed and clear. Many people say they feel more “present.” Most
people
say they can concentrate better and with less effort.
An “alpha state” is a very healthy state of mind. In most instances
during our daily life, it is the perfect state of mind.
Primary Traditional Functions
Tao in a Bottle is a Spirit-stabilizing adaptogenic Qi tonic.
Spirit Stabilizing herbs help stabilize our emotions so that we can
experience our higher self.
Adaptogenic herbs increase our vitality while promoting our ability
over time to handle stress.
Qi tonic herbs increase our energy, help regulate our bodily functions,
and regulate our immune system.
Who Can Use This Formula
Almost anyone who is under stress or who desires to relax without
becoming drowsy.
Those who desire to improve their performance at work, home and at play.
When you are relaxed and focused at work you can work more efficiently
without making mistakes, and you make better decisions when you are
thinking clearly. Work stress can be debilitating, and work is by its
very nature stressful. Sometimes, it is very stressful and can cause
psychological breakdowns
and physical problems like ulcers and headaches, or worse. Those who
can
handle more stress win in business. Tao in a Bottle is fantastic for
people
who lead stressful lives and it is certainly beneficial to those who
are
engaged in stressful business activity. Studies have shown that
theanine improves learning and concentration, so certainly, it will
help us perform better at work.
Tao in a Bottle will also help at home. As a result of being more
relaxed, most people find that they can relate and interact better with
their families. People find that their children do not irritate them
and that they tend to
fight less often with other members of the family. In a positive sense,
people
find that they are more open and creative when they are relaxed and
alert,
and therefore they have more fun with their families. They tend to be
more
engaged and the concept of “quality time” takes on new meaning.
Students and children:
Studies conducted in Japan indicate that theanine improves learning. It
is widely used in Japan specifically for that purpose. It is used by
students of all ages to promote relaxation and alertness. It has a
calming effect that promotes mental endurance and concentration over a
number of hours, and students say that they find studying more
interesting and enjoyable.Theanine is used in candies and ice cream in
Japan. However, it is probably best suited
for children over the age of ten years old (though there are no known
contraindications
for smaller children). A ten-year old child may consume 50 milligrams
of
theanine, twice a day. That is 1/2 a capsule of Tao in a Bottle, two
times
a day, dissolved in juice. Children fifteen years and older may take a
full
dose of 100 to 200 milligrams a day – that is one or two capsules of
Tao
in a Bottle each day. Theanine has been proven to be completely safe.
Those who are shy:
Shyness is actually a fear of social situationsTao in a Bottle helps
put you in the state of “peaceful alertness”When you are in the state
of peaceful alertness, you can more easily open up to people and
communicate your true natureWhen we’re relaxed and communicating our
true nature, people naturally like us more and are attracted to us.
Athletes:
Professional athletes use adaptogenic herbs to improve their
performance and concentration.Tao in a Bottle contains the same herbs
that we give to
world-caliber athletes. Athletes around the world, including Olympians
and
professional superstars, such as NBA all-stars, use herbs like ginseng,
Siberian
ginseng, rhodiola and astragalus.The adaptogenic herbs used in Tao in a
Bottle
are completely safe, absolutely legal, and extremely reliable.Athletes
also
talk about being “in the zone,” “in the groove” or “in the flow.”
That’s the same state of peaceful alertness that we have been talking
about.Theanine does not cause drowsiness like other herbs tauted for
their relaxation benefits,
such as kava or valerian root. In fact, it promotes clarity and
sharpness.
Athletes find they make quicker, better decisions on the spur of the
moment
and therefore perform better under the stress of competition.Tao in a
Bottle
will help an athlete remain emotionally balanced, even under the most
stressful
circumstances. This can be the difference between winning and losing.
Yet
it does not reduce the desire to succeed or the competitive edge – in
fact,
many athletes find they are better focused and can direct their
aggressiveness
properly toward winning and achieving athlete perfection.
Martial arts practitioners:
Of course, Grasshopper. Every serious practitioner of the martial arts
understands the connection between a calm, steady, clear and focused
mind and success in the martial arts. Theanine is not a sedative – it
does not cause drowsiness, laziness, listlessness or spaciness.
Instead, it causes the mind to go into an alpha state. This is the
perfect state of mind for any competition, including combat. Also, the
great adaptogenic herbs in this
formula, including ginseng, astragalus and reishi have been used by
martial
arts masters, including those of the Shaolin Temples in China. They are
superb
Qi tonics that increase vitality and inner power.Ron Teeguarden’s
primary
teacher, Taoist Master Sung Jin Park, was an eighth-degree black belt
in
seven martial arts. Master Park was second in the world in Hapkido. He
used
these tonic herbs every day of his life and recommended that Ron do the
same.
Those into physical fitness:
It has been proven that theanine improves recovery from hard physical
activity.
Bodybuilders use it to recover more quickly. Any athlete wishing to
recover
more quickly may use it. It is ideal for runners, bicyclists, ball
players,
skiers, rock climbers, triathletes, etc.Tibetan rhodiola increases
oxygen
in the blood stream, by as much as 100%. This increase in oxygen can
vastly
improve endurance, concentration and shear energy. Many Russian Olympic
athletes,
cosmonauts on the space station Mir, and mountain climbers scaling the
highest
mountains in the world have used rhodiola.Siberian ginseng has been
demonstrated
to increase athletic endurance and concentration.
Women experiencing PMS:
What about PMS, with its monthly mood swings, aches and pains? Will Tao
in a Bottle help those who are going into menopause?
Studies conducted in Japan have demonstrated that women who suffer from
PMS symptoms are greatly benefited by theanine.Taking theanine
significantly relieves both the emotional and physical symptoms of PMS.
Take 1 capsule in the a.m. and 1 capsule in the p.m. to reduce or
eliminate all the symptoms of PMS.The effect of Tao in a Bottle on
menopausal moodiness has not been studied yet, but anyone who is tense
and whose mind achieves an alpha state should feel more relaxed.
Those who wish to improve their sex life:
One of the biggest obstacles to sexual performance and enjoyment is
tension and anxiety (insufficient Jing and blood are the most relevant
physical causes
of sex-related problems). Anxiety can completely sabotage sexual
performance, and this can lead to long term impotence, premature
ejaculation and frigidity.Many people find that Tao in a Bottle is
better than a glass of wine or a warm bath to get them in the
mood.People with too much sex drive, and who have difficulty managing
or controlling this energy, can also greatly benefit from Tao in a
Bottle because it helps us gain control of ourselves.
VIRTUALLY ANYONE WHO DESIRES TO FEEL THE BENEFITS OF GENUINE RELAXATION
WITHOUT FEELING DROWSY.

Note
How does Tao in a Bottle work with other herbal products?
Tao in a Bottle is a Spirit-stabilizing adaptogenic Qi tonic.Spirit
Stabilizing herbs help stabilize our emotions so that we can experience
our higher self.Adaptogenic
herbs increase our vitality while promoting our ability over time to
handle
stress.Qi tonic herbs increase our energy, help regulate our bodily
functions,
and regulate our immune system.Theanine helps a person relax. Stress
inhibits
or distorts virtually every important function of our body and mind, so
theanine
may be helpful no matter what a person’s condition or state of health
and
well being.When a person is relaxed, other herbs will have a better
chance
of entering the body and effect a positive change. Therefore, we
recommend
taking Tao in a Bottle with every herbal program.Stress is the root of
most
energy “leaks.” (See The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs, by
Ron
Teeguarden, Warner Books (Time Warner Publications), pages 1-81 for a
complete
discussion of human energy systems and how energy is preserved and
lost.)Stress
also depletes the Kidney energy. According to Chinese health theory,
the
Kidneys store Jing, the primal energy of our life. When Jing is
depleted,
we can become exhausted and age more quickly. Tao In A Bottle will help
restore
Jing energy if combined with appropriate high quality Jing
formulations.Qi
is used up adapting to change and combating the stress caused by such
adaptation.
Adaptability is the measure of life. When we are combating stress, we
are
using up our Qi to adapt rather than to perform other functions – like
thinking,
creating, playing, having sex, etc. If we cannot handle the stress in
our
life, our body and our mind will break down. We need to maintain high
levels
of Qi and to reduce the stress-reaction to stress. Tao in a Bottle will
help
increase Qi and its functions.
Don’t yoga and meditation produce alpha waves?
Yes they do. That is a key benefit of practicing these great ancient
arts. Many people practice yoga or other relaxation techniques for
years to achieve an alpha state, which you can experience within thirty
minutes of taking Tao in a Bottle. It’s like a yoga class in a bottle.
It’s as though you have
meditated or practiced Qi Gung for half an hour.This is not to say that
one
should not practice yoga, meditation, Qi Gung or similar art. These
ancient techniques are extremely profound and achieving an alpha state
is only
one of their benefits (though a very important one). These sublime arts
regulate the organs, energy centers and channels, strengthen the body
and
mind, and can promote health on many levels. Tai Ji and yoga stretch
and
strengthen every muscle system in the body.
Will Tao in Bottle help in spiritual practice?
Tao in a Bottle can be used before practicing any of the meditative
arts, moving or passive. It will promote relaxation and clarity and
will lead to
profound meditative experiences and will hasten growth on the spiritual
plane.On
a day-to-day basis, being relaxed, present and clear will lead to
growth
on the spiritual plane. Herbs like Chinese reishi and Tibetan rhodiola
have
been used for over 2000 years by Asian adepts to promote emotional
balance and spiritual growth. Zen practitioners in Japan have long
consumed very strong ceremonial green tea before meditation.
Does Tao in a Bottle replace other Spirit tonics?
Though we may think of Tao in a Bottle as an alternative Spirit tonic,
it is in fact a primary tool for opening up and stabilizing Spirit. Tao
in a Bottle is not a substitute for herbs like reishi, pearl, albizzia
flower, asparagus root, etc. – all of which are profound Spirit tonic
herbs.
By stabilizing Spirit, Tao in a Bottle allows these great herbs to
enter
the body and to perform their magic on the human soul and spirit.
What if I drink coffee?
Tao in a Bottle may be used beneficially in combination with almost
anything. Studies have indicated that theanine eliminates the negative
side effects of caffeine. If a person feels jittery from drinking
coffee, 100 or 200 mg
of theanine (1 or 2 capsules of Tao in a Bottle will eliminate that
jitteriness in about 30 minutes.If you consume coffee in the daytime
along with Tao in
a Bottle, you will feel as alert as you would on the coffee, but
without jitteriness.If you drink coffee at night and you find you
cannot fall asleep, one or two capsules of Tao in a Bottle will cut
through the speediness of
the caffeine and you will be able to fall asleep, and to sleep
deeply.Many people find that they cut back on their coffee consumption
after using Tao
in a Bottle for a while because of the increased energy and focus they
feel
from Tao in a Bottle.
Is Tao in a Bottle “mind altering?”
None of the herbs or ingredients in Tao in a Bottle are mind altering
drugs.
However, Tao in a Bottle is “mood-adjusting.” The states of mind
attained by “mind altering” substances are different from any normal
state of mind. People feel “high,” or “loaded” or “buzzed.” The alpha
state of mind is
not like that. It is an absolutely normal, healthy state of mind that
we
have all experienced before – when we are totally relaxed and yet
mentally
clear – and is not an “altered” state of mind. Many experts believe
that
it is the healthiest state of mind for daily functioning – it’s just
that
most of us have trouble attaining a normal alpha state because of the
stress
we’re under. Theanine, nor any of the herbs in Tao in a Bottle, are
considered
“mind altering drugs” by anybody, including the FDA or 12-step
programs.
Tao in a Bottle is a safe, natural herbal supplement that helps people
find
their most naturally balanced state of relaxed energy.
Is Tao in a Bottle approved by the FDA?
The FDA does not “approve” or disapprove products such as Tao in a
Bottle. It does however have strict standards concerning claims and
labeling of all
nutritional supplements, including Tao in a Bottle. The FDA has
approved the following claims
Theanine promotes relation without causing drowsinessTheanine reduces
stressTheanine
is so safe that is has been approved as a food additive in Japan, where
it
may be added to soft drinks, candy, ice cream or any other consumable
product.
Theanine is expected to receive the same approval in the United States
this
year.
What is Tao?
Tao is the Chinese term for the infinite-absolute order of the
universe. Tao cannot be defined in words, but must be experienced. It
cannot be understood with the logical mind, but may be directly
comprehended by the mind of one
who is attuned to Tao. In Zen, they call it “Zen Mind.” Studies of Zen
monks
in Japan have demonstrated that a meditative state is a alpha state – a
state
of peaceful alertness.Tao is the harmonious true state of nature,
governed
by the laws of yin and yang. When a person has discovered the true
nature
of Tao, they become peaceful, yet alert, seeing all things from all
sides,
and thus rising above things that disturb less evolved people. Taoist
training
involves active meditation techniques aimed at promoting a state of
deep
awareness, mind control and profound relaxation, which in turn leads to
longevity,
superb vitality, profound happiness and wisdom. In China all this is
called
“radiant health,” which is further defined as “health beyond danger.”
Why do we call this formulation Tao in a Bottle?
Relaxed energy is the perfect state of mind, and is the first goal of
those
who are interested in Tao. Tao is recognized by those who are in a Tao
state
of mind.In Asia Taoism is considered to be a “fast technique” toward
enlightenment
– meaning that practitioners can attain evolved states of mind with
just
weeks, months and years, as opposed to lifetimes. When you take Tao in
a
Bottle, you have a major head start.After you have consumed Tao in a
Bottle
for a week or two, read a book on Tao or Zen. You will find it much
more
comprehendible and meaningful than you ever did before – and best of
all,
the wisdom expressed may seem remarkably practical.Tao in a Bottle is
absolutely
practical, and from our perspective, is the perfect herbal supplement
for
people who are interested in Taoist philosophy and for those who
practice
Taoist-type arts, including Qi Gung, Tai Ji, Taoist, Buddhist or Zen
meditation,
etc.
