Jingzi has remarkable health care effects. Since ancient times, doctors and people in European countries have regarded it as the first choice drug for treating and alleviating women's premenstrual syndrome and menopausal symptoms. Therefore, they have developed highly effective medicines. A series of women's health care products such as vitex powder, tablets, capsules and essential oils are enthusiastically sought after by the majority of female friends in developed countries in Europe and the United States where natural therapies without side effects are increasingly advocated.
In my country, since it was recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", medical books have always regarded it as a good medicine for treating symptoms such as damp phlegm, asthma, deafness, anti-cancer and anti-tumor, and women's leucorrhea.
Folks even regard vitex seeds as a daily health care product. Not only do they pick and store vitex seeds, but they also use them to boil water and drink them as herbal tea during busy farming days for health care. They also use them to treat burns, headaches and colds. When tea is brewed into the diet, it can relieve symptoms. When a woman is in confinement, she must use vitex seeds or vitex leaves boiled in water every time she washes her hair and bathes to prevent postpartum headaches. Households that harvest more often use vitex seeds as a health tea to brew with neighbors, relatives and friends who come to chat with each other. People in mountain villages with simple folk customs sometimes give three to five kilograms of vitex seeds as gifts to relatives and friends who live far away in the city, and everyone enjoys them together.
When a woman’s family suffers from dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and other women’s diseases or even infertility, some senior traditional Chinese medicine doctors give priority to recommending that the sick women often drink vitex tea. Relieve symptoms and recuperate the body. Now it seems that this coincides with the Vitex seed therapy popular in European countries. The analysis of drug ingredients has also proved that both European Vitex and my country's native Vitex are rich in flavonoids natural compounds. Vitex tea is often consumed. It can effectively regulate and balance the health effects of human body functions.
With the development of modern science and technology, Chinese and foreign researchers have conducted a deeper analysis of the natural chemical components of Vitex and a series of experimental studies. In addition to theoretically supporting the theory that Vitex has been passed down from ancient times In addition to the fact that the Vitex seed prescription has its scientific basis, it has also been discovered that Vitex seed has more significant natural health care effects that need to be further developed and utilized. For example, vitex seed is rich in flavonoids and has antioxidant effects on oils, making it a rare natural medicine for human anti-aging; vitex seed extract can lower blood lipids and treat fatty liver; vitex seed extract has hepatoprotective and choleretic effects; Vitex extract can lower blood pressure, etc.
If you look carefully, you can find that the vitex extract mentioned in the scientific research report is actually an appropriate amount of vitex mixed with boiling water. The liquid after soaking at a constant temperature for a certain period of time is concentrated to become an "extract", and the concentrated liquid is dried to become an "extract", which is completely consistent with the way that ordinary people soak and drink vitex seeds as tea.
If you pay a little attention to media reports, you will know that patients with hyperlipidemia and fatty liver have been quietly popular among the general population. In some large hospitals, the detection rate of fatty liver is the highest among the health examination items, with an average of accounting for nearly half of the people examined. Census of healthy people in Beijing, Shanghai and other places found that the prevalence of fatty liver protection is 10-15; the prevalence of fatty liver in Guangdong is as high as 17.2, including 23 in cities. Overall, on average, about 10 out of 10 Guangdong people have fatty liver. 2 had fatty liver disease. There are reports of hepatocellular steatosis in obese patients aged 60-90 years old. Research shows that 25% of patients with fatty liver will develop cirrhosis within 10 years. The prevention and treatment of fatty liver should attract our sufficient attention. Anyone who can do a casual search on the Internet will know that these data are not alarmist.
Because vitex tea has such miraculous natural health care effects, I believe that in the near future, vitex tea will definitely become a new health drink that is popular around the world.
