The local people of the mountainous regions of southern China and northern Vietnam, who were familiar with gynostemma, called it the immortality herb as a large number of people who lived to be over 100 years old reported consuming it regularly instead of green tea. They used the tea in the morning to energize and a cup in the evening to unwind, relax, and promote sleep. 

Gynostemma is a more recent addition to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was first mentioned in 1406 CE by Zhu Xiao who recommended it as a survival food. In 1578 it was identified by Li Shizhen in his Compendium of Materia Medica. It is considered a Yin tonic with Yang supporting properties, able to Clear Heat without causing Stagnation.
