What is the reason for being called “THE Anti-Aging Herb”?

Shell ginger is an Amami traditional island herb that supported the life of the island .

Shell ginger is an herb of the genus Alpinia of the family Zingiberaceae that grows naturally in the tropics and subtropics.

Research on antiviral activity, osteoporosis prevention, and osteoblast differentiation promoting substances is underway.

In a word, the power of shell ginger can be said to be “anti-aging”.

Other

When used externally, it has insect repellent, antifungal, and deodorant effects, and is also effective in insect repellent sprays, athlete’s foot medicine, and deodorant measures.

It’s a lot of effects like a lie, but when I looked it up, there were more than 200 patents related to “Shell ginger”, only domestic patents!

I was really surprised while checking! What was the hidden power of the shell ginger in my garden? I’m sure there will be more if you look up patents around the world.

Exactly

Shell ginger can be said to be a “super herb” that controls beauty and health.

Get healthy with “antioxidant effect” and “power of Chinese medicine”!

It is said that shell ginger contains 34 times more antioxidant polyphenols than red wine. Polyphenols have the effect of suppressing the action of excess active oxygen, are effective for arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction, and are also thought to have the effect of suppressing fat absorption and cancer.

“Shell ginger seeds” is a Chinese herbal medicine. (Black seed in orange fruit) The crude drug name is “Shirotezu Shukusha”. It contains essential oil components (cineole) and flavonoids (alpinone, isalpinin), and is said to be mainly effective for stomach upset and intestinal regulation. This ingredient is contained only in seeds.

Five functions that support “skin-whitening effect”

“Collagen synthesis promoting action” It is expected to have the effect of supplementing the ability of the skin to produce collagen, which declines with age, and maintaining fresh skin.

“Collagenase inhibitory action” It is expected to have the effect of suppressing the action of the enzyme “collagenase” that decomposes collagen and preventing the decrease of collagen in the skin.

“Fibroblast proliferation effect” It is expected to increase the number of fibroblasts, which are the source of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the dermis, and to produce firm skin.

“Antibacterial action” It calms skin troubles such as acne caused by P. acnes, so it suppresses skin inflammation and is expected to have a beautiful skin effect.

“Fair-skinned effect” It was found in an experiment using B16 melanoma cells that the extract of shell ginger tea has an effect of suppressing the production of melanin activated by ultraviolet rays, and it is expected to be effective in preventing stains caused by sunburn. increase.

There are cosmetics and soaps made from processed shell ginger, but in short, the ingredients of shell ginger are important, so it would be best if you could take them out and use them directly. I thought.

Herbal tincture, which is made by collecting natural shell ginger in the mountains, washing it with water, cutting it, and soaking it in alcohol, seemed to be the simplest and most rational method I have investigated.

Also, by drying the shell ginger, the concentration of tincture does not decrease as much as the water disappears, so it takes time, but the tincture of dry shell ginger improves the quality.

I used to make it at home, but I want it! We received many voices saying that, and made things that can be handmade at your home through trial and error, and finally completed.

We will deliver “Tsuki no Shizuku , a handmade kit of shell ginger herb tincture, packed with the hidden power of this wonderful shell ginger , with the wishes of “beauty”, “health” and “longevity”.
