Pay attention, poor sick man, all this wonderful healing potential is described with disclaimer.  ;)

If I were to believe the Botanic Gardens Trust on internet, Cornus officinalis was "reputed to have aided the longevity and exceptional health of Emperor Qian Long of the Manchu Dynasty" living,  and here I quote again "from 1644 till 1911". I think the members of this trustworthy institution had an overdose of it as "it makes quite a tonic for one's spirits."

But it clearly is a fact that the fruit of this plant is the subject of several serious scientific articles.

Disclaimer or not, I'm still interested!  ;D

RE: 1644 to 1911 - well, there would be many of his school pals around to dispute that! He could have added a few years on.
