Dr. Rulin Xiu is a true anomaly. Although Dr. Rulin is a degreed physicist, her friends around the world know her for her infectious laugh and deep caring for everyone. At the tender age of 6, with zero training, Rulin had an uncanny (maybe mystical) ability to be drawn to exotic herbs in the remote region of the Qinling mountain range in China.

FROM THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION…

The QinlingMountains host “The Cradle of Chinese Civilization” and are one of the most biologically rich temperate forests in the world. This exotic area supports a huge variety of plant and wildlife, some of which is found nowhere else on Earth!

Seven panda “villages” of 10 to 20 pandas each have been found to live here in stone cave communities in the mountains. In the midst of this exotic beauty, a little girl dumbfounded the adults…

The owners of herbal stores here couldn’t figure out how this innocent little 6 year old girl would show up at their doorsteps to sell them the very precious herbs they wanted… but they bought them from her nonetheless!
