Ashitaba Tea - Japanese Tea excellent source of antioxidants supplement
Ashitaba from Japan, a medicinal plant for disease prevention, is grown and processed in Hachi Jo Island, Japan.
Ashitaba is an Asian green vegetable rich in antioxidant - Chalcone. Recent studies in Japan and the U.S. have shown that the Chalcone in Ashitaba helps guard against common diseases.
The academic research group lead by Dr. Kimie Baba, MD, who is an
authority on Ashitaba have announced several research reports which
includes the publication in the 1990 Pharmacology Convention. The
findings of the research indicates that Hachi Jo Island Ashitaba does
not only contain rich and balanced vitamins minerals, food fiber and
amino acids, it also contains a newly found element- named "CHALCONE".
Donald Buhler and his colleagues at Oregon State University found that
minute amounts of Chalcone in hops were six times as potent as those
antioxidants found in citrus fruit, almost four times as potent as
those in soy, and two times more potent than those found in green tea.
Due to Ashitaba's blood purifying and detoxifying properties,
cells stay healthy and thus metabolism, immune system, and all other
body functions, especially liver and kidneys, can maintain proper
balance, Hayano said. As a result, the aging process is retarded on a
cellular level and degenerative diseases are prevented.
"Ashitaba has been consumed as a vegetable and medicine for
many hundreds of years by inhabitants of Hachi Jo Island (Longevity
Islands). In Japan, Ashitaba is used to treat hypertension. As a
diuretic, it has no side effects such as western medicines frequently
have. Ashitaba is very useful in treating menstrual cramps and pains.
It helps to make menopause more comfortable," said Dr. Kevin Lance
Jones, O.M.D. Further, Ashitaba is useful in the treatment of a wide
variety of gynecological conditions and provides women with therapeutic
alternatives to hormone replacement therapy and hysterectomies.
Studies by Dr. Kimie Baba of Osaka University show that
Ashitaba has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-ulcer, anti-thrombus and
strong anti-tumor effects, inhibiting skin and lung cancer. The
Biomedical Group in Takara, Japan recently found that the plant can
stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) is an added
benefit to diabetics and to brain health.
