Hedgehog ~ a magical Chinese herbal medicine, men use majestic, women drink it beauty

Hedgehog has long been used by urologists to improve male sexual dysfunction. Because this herb can effectively increase blood flow in the blood chamber of the penis sponge, it can achieve strong erection. According to a research report from the National University of Singapore, Hedgehog also has a rapid increase in the content of testosterone in the body and improves erectile function.

In recent years, sports health supplements based on extracts of black locust have been very popular in the European and American markets, and are favored by many sports athletes and bodybuilders. Hedgehog is a perennial vine, growing in China, India, Eastern Europe, Africa and other places. 5000 years ago, our ancestors discovered that acupuncture had aphrodisiac effect, used its medicine to treat impotence, and included a prescription for aphrodisiac. Hedgehog is also used as a hemostatic agent, urolithiasis, diuretics, inflammation, and arthritis. In recent years, studies have found that hedgehog can stimulate human pituitary luteinizing hormone secretion, thereby promoting the secretion of testosterone, improve blood testosterone levels, increase muscle strength, and promote physical recovery.

Hedgehog is not a stimulant. Its principle of drug action is different from synthetic steroid agonists such as androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, precursors of anabolic hormones. Using synthetic steroid agonists can increase testosterone levels but inhibit self-testosterone secretion. Once the medicine is stopped, the testosterone in the body is insufficiently secreted, resulting in weak constitution, weakness, fatigue, and slow recovery. The increase in blood and testosterone caused by the use of hedgehogs is due to the increased secretion of self-testosterone, and there is no inhibition of self-testosterone synthesis. Moreover, taking a hedgehog medicine can help to stimulate and regulate the excitatory self-restraint secretion of testosterone back to normal. The Shaolin Institute of Firepower Tuina shows that: clinical studies have shown that Robinia pseudoacacia can increase the number of sperm and improve the vitality of sperm, enhance sexual desire and sexual ability, increase the frequency and hardness of erection, and accelerate the recovery of sexual ability after sexual life. Improve men’s reproductive ability. Hedgehog can also increase the concentration of estradiol in a woman’s body. At the same time, it has little effect on the secretion of testosterone, and promotes ovulation, thus improving women’s reproductive function.

Hedgehog has other drug effects: to improve and regulate menopausal syndrome; stabilize emotions; reduce hyperlipidemia and hypertension; improve immune function; increase the number of red blood cells and white blood cells; antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; relieve bone and joint pain; improve myocardial contractility Prevention and treatment of urinary tract stones; antioxidation; prevention of aging and so on.

The main active ingredients of Robinia pseudoacacia extract (from leaves, flowers, stems) include: phytosterols, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, resins, unsaturated fatty acids, biologically active proteins, nitrates, calcium, phosphorus, Iron and so on. Existing experimental and clinical studies have shown that the Robinia pseudoacacia extract does not have any adverse side effects on the body. The Robinia pseudoacacia extract is an ideal, safe, effective, non-hormonal natural exercise health supplement. Athletes and bodybuilders take 250-750mg of Robinia extract every day for 40-90 days.

The new research on the treatment of sexual dysfunction by Chinese medicine abroad: 蒺藜 contains a variety of alkaloids, and has antihypertensive and diuretic effects. Effective for prostate, penis, urethra and other diseases. Studies have shown that sputum stimulates libido by increasing blood testosterone concentrations. Has a rapid increase in testosterone levels in the body and improve erectile function!

Modern use:

1. Make tea. A lid with a mug, 70-mesh white powder (hedgehog powder), boiling water (be sure to use freshly boiled water). Stamp and simmer for 5 minutes, OK! You can drink!

2. Directly swallow, then drink saliva (preferably pure water or cool white).

3. Dosage: 3 times a day, 6 grams each time. (Each porcelain spoon is a flat spoon. You can use this to measure)

White beauty effects

White, give you baby-like skin! White peony contains a variety of alkaloids and terpenes, which have the effects of lowering blood pressure and lowering blood lipids. The peroxide-degrading enzymes contained therein have significant anti-aging effects.

Beauty effects: Jiufu can scratch scars on the face and leave skin soft and smooth.

Do you ever wonder what the freeze-dried fruits in some cereals are good for?

Although freeze-dried fruits are small and light-weight, studies show that the antioxidant phytochemicals found in the fruits’ fresh state are retained at levels almost as high after freeze-drying. Studies also show that the phytochemicals in freeze-dried fruits can reach our bloodstream.

Since the 1980s, one researcher has been studying how the phytochemicals in freeze-dried fruits, such as raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, might protect against cancers of the colon and esophagus. The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) has supported his work.

At AICR’s most recent annual research conference, this researcher, Gary Stoner, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of Environmental Health Sciences at Ohio State University, told the audience why he uses the whole freeze-dried berry instead of extracts. In addition to phytochemicals like ellagic acid, carotenoids and anthocyanins, the whole berry can contain significant amounts of vitamins C, E and folic acid. “Studies show that the substances in foods working together are more effective than any one in isolation,” he said.

A nutritional aerosol spray?
In his studies, freeze-dried berries are ground into a powder. After several experiments showed that the fruit powder prevented colon tumors, small-scale human trials were begun. Now, several larger human trials have been launched to study the effects of the berry powder on precursors to colon and esophageal cancers. Dr. Stoner is also trying to develop an aerosol spray from the berries for use in lung cancer experiments.

The amount of freeze-dried fruit that most people eat – the few pieces in a bowl of cereal poured from a box – is too little to count as a serving of fruit. To get a real nutritional impact from fruit in your cereal, you need to add more fresh, frozen, dried, or freeze-dried fruit. A serving of diced, cooked, or frozen fruit is one-half cup. A serving of dried fruit is one-quarter cup.

Cnidium Fruit (Cnidium monnieri)

Cnidium Fruit is part of an annual herb native to China. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, often for the relief of skin conditions like eczema. Modern science has shown this botantical to be effective as an anti-allergic¹, anti-inflammatory², and anti-microbial^3,4 agent. It has also been proven to reduce itching⁵.

If you love cinnamon, add an extra shake to your next meal: new research shows that the popular spice boosts metabolism in mouse and human fat cells.

In the new study, published in the journal Metabolism, researchers from the University of Michigan tested the effect of cinnamaldehyde—the essential oil that gives cinnamon its flavor—on fat cells taken from mice, as well as fat cells from four humans.

They found that exposure to cinnamon oil triggered both the mouse and the human cells to start burning calories through a process known as thermogenesis. A closer look showed that the oil increased the activity of several genes, enzymes and proteins that are known to enhance fat metabolism.

Fat cells, also called adipocytes, normally store energy in the form of lipids. From an evolutionary standpoint, that stored energy can be used by the body during periods of food shortage, or converted to heat during colder months.

But in a society where food and heat are relatively plentiful, stored energy often has nowhere to go and can contribute to unwanted weight gain. Study author Jun Wu, research assistant professor at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute, says that consuming cinnamon on a regular basis may be one way to make fat cells burn some of that energy, rather than storing all of it.

The study looked at cinnamon’s effects on adipocytes directly—not on an actual human bodies—so much more research is needed to know if cinnamon has the same effect in real people and what the implications of increased thermogenesis really are. And while cinnamon is considered safe in quantities normally used in food, Wu says it’s still too early to determine an effective dose.

Wu says that a sprinkle of cinnamon here or there may not be enough to show immediate, measurable effects on metabolism. However, “we speculate that you don’t have to eat a large amount of cinnamon all at once,” she says. “If you eat it every day, we suspect there will be a cumulative effect, and that over time you will achieve these benefits.”

This isn’t the first study to suggest that cinnamon may have beneficial effects on the body’s metabolic processes. Other research has found that the spice appears to protect mice against obesity and hyperglycemia, and that it’s associated with lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Wu says that her team’s research is another piece of evidence in cinnamon’s favor. “After this, I would recommend eating a little more than you do already,” she says. “If you already eat a lot of it, carry on—and if it’s not something you use regularly, it’s a great time to start.”

Why Do People Use Apple?

Oral preparations  (Apple), like apple powder, are used for the treatment of constipation or diarrhea, for softening of gallstones. It is also used for treating cancer, scurvy, dysentery, diabetes, heart ailments, fever, warts and for cleaning teeth.

Is It Safe To Use?

Likely Safe – Oral consumption of apple is safe to use when taken in amounts found in foods. However, some patients are advised to avoid its seeds because there are toxic in nature. Avoid in Pregnancy and Lactation – Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should be careful and use apple with caution because there is limited and unreliable information available about its safety in these conditions.

How Effective Is Apple?

There is limited and scarce information available to rate the effectiveness of apple in following conditions or diseases: • Gallbladder Disease • Lung Cancer • Weight Loss

How Apple Works?

The most effective part  is the fruit, which can be utilized as apple powder extract and apple fruit powder. Apple polyphenols can have various health advantages. Polyphenols are antioxidant which can lessen cell-damaging molecules and free radicals, which are typical reason for cancer. Polyphenols may also improve the immune response of the body and better the effectiveness of cell repair. The pectin in the extract of apple powder and apple fruit product powder presumably represents its impact on diarrhea and constipation. Pectin assimilates water in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and swells to a sticky mass. The mass gives bulk which has a tendency to standardize bowel capacity. Apple skin also consist of ursolic acid, which is a triterpenoid, that adds to the waxy coat on skin of apple. Studies recommend that ursolic acid may have an impact on muscle mass. In animals fed with ursolic acid, exercise capacity, muscle mass and grip strength increased. Ursolic acid may also expand brown fat amount. Furthermore, animals fed with ursolic acid had enhanced calorie consumption, enhanced glucose resistance and decreased weight. In light of this data, there is interest for utilizing apple extract of ursolic acid as an apple powder in supplements promoted for weight reduction.

Each year, U.S. News & World Report releases a ranking of popular diets—assessed by a panel of health experts based on seven categories, including weight loss, nutrition, safety, and ease of compliance.

Topping 2018’s list of “best diets overall” is a tie between the Mediterranean and DASH Diets, which received high marks for being healthy and easy to follow, and potentially effective for weight loss in both the short- and long-term.

“No single diet works for everybody, but the DASH and the Mediterranean diets have the strongest biological underpinning, and also have been tested in the largest and longest studies,” says Dr. Eric Rimm, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, who served as one of 25 panelists for the 2018 ranking. “I’m glad the other panelists agreed with me since it is not always the case that nutrition experts agree!”

Other popular diets—such as those that involve fasting or severe dietary restrictions—fell lower on the list, with the Ketogenic Diet ranking last. Although these and other diets may result in short-term weight loss, many were rated as difficult to follow, which factored into lower scores for weight loss in the long term.

“Some diets that fell further down the list have only been tested short term, and should really be considered prescriptions—not long-term lifestyle solutions” says Rimm. “Choosing a diet that is both healthy and easy for you to follow is crucial for lasting results.”

Remember that even if a particular diet may result in weight loss for one person, it may not be effective for another due to individual differences in genes and lifestyle. And while research shows that calories matter, focusing on food quality is an equally important part of the equation for preventing weight gain and promoting weight loss.
