Cinnamomi cortex
Although available throughout the year, the fragrant, sweet and warm taste of cinnamon is a perfect
spice to use during the winter months.
Cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine. It is the brown bark of the cinnamon
tree, which is available in its dried tubular form known as a quill or as ground powder.
Cinnamon's unique healing abilities come from three basic types of components in the essential oils
found in its bark. These oils contain active components called cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate,
and cinnamyl alcohol, plus a wide range of other volatile substances.
Anti-Clotting Actions
Cinnamaldehyde (also called cinnamic aldehyde) has been well-researched for its effects on blood
platelets. The cinnaldehyde in cinnamon helps prevent unwanted clumping of blood platelets. (The
way it accomplishes this health-protective act is by inhibiting the release of an inflammatory fatty
acid called arachidonic acid from platelet membranes and reducing the formation of an inflammatory
messaging molecule called thromboxane A2.) Cinnamon's ability to lower the release of arachidonic
acid from cell membranes also puts it in the category of an "anti-inflammatory" food that can be
helpful in lessening inflammation.
Cinnamon slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the rise in blood sugar
after eating.
Cinnamon may also significantly help people with type 2 diabetes improve their ability to respond to
insulin, thus normalizing their blood sugar levels. Both test tube and animal studies have shown that
compounds in cinnamon not only stimulate insulin receptors, but also inhibit an enzyme that
inactivates them, thus significantly increasing cells' ability to use glucose. Studies to confirm
cinnamon's beneficial actions in humans are currently underway with the most recent report coming
from researchers from the US Agricultural Research Service, who have shown that less than half a
teaspoon per day of cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels in persons with type 2 diabetes.
Not only does consuming cinnamon improve the body's ability to utilize blood sugar, but just smelling
the wonderful odor of this sweet spice boosts brain activity!
Calcium and Fiber Improve Colon Health and Protect Against Heart Disease
In addition to its unique essential oils, cinnamon is an excellent source of fiber and the trace mineral
manganese while also a very good source of calcium. The combination of calcium and fiber in
cinnamon is important and can be helpful for the prevention of several different conditions. Both
calcium and fiber can bind to bile salts and help remove them from the body. By removing bile, fiber
helps to prevent the damage that certain bile salts can cause to colon cells, thereby reducing the risk
of colon cancer. In addition, when bile is removed by fiber, the body must break down cholesterol in
order to make new bile. This process can help to lower high cholesterol levels, which can be helpful
in preventing atherosclerosis and heart disease. For sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome, the fiber
in cinnamon may also provide relief from constipation or diarrhea.
In addition to the active components in its essential oils and its nutrient composition, cinnamon has
also been valued in energy-based medical systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, for its
warming qualities. In these traditions, cinnamon has been used to provide relief when faced with the
onset of a cold or flu, especially when mixed in a tea with some fresh ginger.
Turmeric
Whole turmeric is likely to provide you with a different set of benefits than its best-studied constituent
—namely, curcumin. That's because turmeric includes three different curcuminoids: curcumin,
bisdemethoxycurcumin, and demethoxycurcumin. It also contains volatile oils like tumerone,
atlantone, and zingiberone. These different substances are all associated with their own unique
health benefits.
Nutritional Profile
Turmeric is an excellent source of both iron and manganese. It is also a good source of vitamin B6,
dietary fiber, copper, and potassium. Phytonutrients in turmeric include curcumin,
demethoxycurcumin, tumerones, and tumenorols.
Of special interest in the cancer research on curcumin has been its well-documented role in
detoxification. In animal studies, curcurmin has consistently been shown to stimulate Phase II detox
activity. This phase of detoxification allows our cells to bind potential toxins together with other
molecules so that they can be excreted from the body. As more and more potentially toxic
substances get bound together with other molecules during Phase II processing, our risk of cancer
development decreases.
Cardiovascular Benefits
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of curcumin have been associated with improved
regulation of blood pressure and decreased risk of several types of cardiovascular disease in
animals.
Other Benefits
Improved cognitive function has also been an area of increased research interest. Here one
fascinating focus has been on the ability of curcumin to stimulate production of DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid) from ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Both ALA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids
with a wide range of proven health benefits, but DHA has been shown to be especially important in
nervous system function both in the brain and throughout the body. (There is more DHA in the brain
than any other single type of fatty acid, and when DHA circulates around our body, the brain
receives a higher percentage of this fatty acid than any other single organ.)
Eucommia cortex
Eucommia ulmoides is a plant containing various kinds of chemical constituents such as lignans,
iridoids, phenolics, steroids, flavonoids, and other compounds. These constituents of EU possess
various medicinal properties and have been used in Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) as a folk
drink and functional food for several thousand years. EU has several pharmacological properties
such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiaging,
cardioprotective, and neuroprotective properties.
In Chinese traditional medicines, Eucommia is considered as a major herbal tonic for cardiac
patients. Eucommia bark extract is an active component used for antihypertensive formulations. It
has been confirmed in many human as well as animal models as a vasorelaxant.
EU also showed antihyperlipidemic properties by suppressing hepatic fatty acid and cholesterol
biosynthesis.
Antioxidant Effects
Antioxidant compounds from Eucommia plant reduced the level of free radicals and improved the
disease condition caused by oxidative stress. Extracts from EU reduced the level of hydrogen
peroxide which expresses some caspase proteins cells up to half concentration. Extract of EU was
reported to increase the actions of erythrocyte, superoxide dismutase, and catalase and glutathione
peroxidase and reduce the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxide in erythrocytes,
liver, and kidney.
Eucommia also increases the level of other antioxidant enzymes in the blood to neutralize free
radicals.
Phenolics and flavonoids of medicinal herbs contributed significantly to oxidative activities in EU.
Phenolics and flavonoids safely react with free radicals by donating a hydrogen atom or an electron
and terminate chain reaction before the vital organs are damaged . Antioxidant properties from
leaves of the EU roasted cortex and seeds were analyzed by calculating radical scavenging activity
of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power and lipid peroxidation inhibition
capacity in a β-carotene/linoleic acid system.
Neuroprotective Effects
The stem bark extract of EU exhibited acetylcholinesterase inhibition properties and neuroprotective
effects against beta-amyloid proteins]. It also inhibits cytotoxicity and efficacy of oxidative biomarkers
when applied at a concentration. Stem bark extract of EU showed higher protection activity against
memory dysfunctions with intracerebral injection of beta-amyloid proteins in rats.
Eucommia cortex extract can be used in the control of osteoporosis. This is because Eucommia
extract is actively involved in mechanisms which initiate osteoblast, enhance osteogenesis,
decrease osteoclast, and thus prevent osteolysis.
Eucommia cortex extract was reported to induce the release of growth hormone (GH) responsible for
bone maturation and bone remodeling. Products of alcoholic extraction from Eucommia bark were
reported to be very potent in the release of growth hormone secretagogue. Increasing signals of
estrogen receptor alpha has been shown to increase the growth of bone.
Ginseng radix
Panax ginseng, also called Asian or Korean ginseng, has long been traditionally used in Korea and
China to treat various diseases. The major active ingredients of P. ginseng are ginsenosides, which
have been shown to have a variety of therapeutic effects, including antioxidation, anti-inflammatory,
vasorelaxation, antiallergic, antidiabetic, and anticancer. To date, approximately 40 ginsenoside
components have been reported.
It was well known that ginsenoside ameliorates vascular dysfunction. In addition, Korean Red
Ginseng admonished arterial stiffness in hypertensive conditions . Also, previous studies have
shown that ginseng ameliorated low blood pressure, restoring it to normal level through the
production of vascular endothelial cell-derived nitric oxide. Furthermore, ginseng decreased blood
pressure. Recent reports have shown that ginseng has pharmacological and medicinal effects
beneficial for blood pressure regulation, as lower doses have stronger antihypertensive effects than
higher doses , and for improving blood circulation through vascular dilation. Also, ginseng has an
antihypertensive effect by mediating the inhibition of myogenic activity of blood vessels. These
results show that ginseng treatment can ameliorate vasomotor function.
Ginseng and ginsenosides prevent myocardial ischemia
There are many reports that treatment with ginseng improved electrocardiogram, general symptoms,
physical exercise capacity, and fluid metabolism in patients with coronary angina pectoris. Many
cardiac protective effects of ginseng depend on the antioxidant properties of the ginseng
components in cardiomyocytes .Total ginsenosides, especially panaxatriol, provided powerful
protection against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.
Paeoniae radix
Radix Paeoniae Alba has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine formulation to treat
hypertension by repression the hyperfunction of liver.
In China, Korea, and Japan, a decoction of the dried root without bark of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. has
been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis,
dysmenorrhea, muscle cramping and spasms, and fever for more than 1200 years. A water/ethanol
extract of the root is now known as total glucosides of peony (TGP), which contains more than 15
components. Paeoniflorin is the most abundant ingredient and accounts for the pharmacological
effects observed with TGP in both in vitro and in vivo studies. The analgesic effect of TGP was
confirmed in various animal models of pain, which may be mediated partly by adenosine A1
receptor. The direct anti-inflammatory effects of TGP were observed in animal models of both acute
and subacute inflammation, by inhibiting the production of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, and
nitric oxide, and by suppressing the increase of intracellular calcium ion concentration. TGP was
also reported to have protective effects of cells against oxidative stress. In vitro, dual effects of TGP
were noted on the proliferation of lymphocytes, differentiation of Th/Ts lymphocytes, and the
production of proinflammatory cytokines and antibodies.
Clove, is a dried flower bud belonging to the Myrtaceae family that is indigenous to the Maluku
islands in Indonesia but has recently been farmed in different places worldwide . The clove tree is
composed of leaves and buds (the commercial part of the tree) and the flowering bud production
begins four years after plantation. Afterward, they are collected either by hand or using a natural
phytohormone in the pre-flowering stage. Interestingly, they are commercially used for many
medicinal purposes and in the perfume industry, and clove is considered one of the spices that can
be potentially used as preservatives in many foods, especially in meat processing, to replace
chemical preservatives due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties . Several reports have
documented the antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, and antifungal activities of some aromatic
herbs including cinnamon, oregano, clove, thyme, and mint. However, clove has gained much
attention among other spices due to its potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
Pharmacologically, clove has been documented as the main source of phenolic molecules like
hidroxibenzoic acids, flavonoids, hidroxiphenyl propens, hidroxicinamic acids, and eugenol
(C10H12O2)—which is the major bioactive molecule—and gallic acid derivatives like hidrolizable
tannins that are found in high amounts in the fresh plant.
Pharmacologically, clove oil is used in a wide range as an antiseptic in oral diseases and for the
treatment of toothaches, allergy disorders, asthma, acne, scars, and rheumatoid arthritis, and it
showed antispasmodic and acaricidal effects toward Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and
Dermatophagoides farina.
Moreover, the CEO has shown aphrodisiac, antipyretic, appetizer, hypnotic, anxiolytic, antiemetic,
analgesic, decongestant, antimicrobial, antiepileptic, myorelaxant, anti-inflammatory, and
expectorant properties as well as has a medicinal influence against trophic disorder . Notably,
tannins, ellagic acid, gallic acid, flavonoids and their glycosides isolated from alcoholic and aqueous
clove buds extracts were reported to have antithrombotic, antiprotozoal, hypoglycemic, anti-
inflammatory, gastroprotective, and aphrodisiac efficacy. In traditional medicine, clove has been
used in flatulence, indigestion complaints and diarrhea . The biological activities of S. aromaticum

Radix saposhnikoviae
Fang Feng also known as Radix Saposhnikoviae or Siler Root is the root of Saposhnikovia
divaricata, which is a perennial herb belonging to the family Umbelliferae. It is a relatively practical
and common Chinese herbal medicine with a medicinal history of over 2,000 years.
This plant is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant. It often grows in grasslands and hills at an altitude
of 400-800 meters. It can be found in China, Mongolia, South Korea, Japan, and Russia.
In the spring and autumn of each year, people gather the roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata, remove
their impurities and fibrous roots, wash them with water, dry them in the sun, and cut them thick
pieces, make them into Chinese herbs.
According to <Shennong Ben Cao Jing>, the medicinal property of Fang Feng is slightly warm, with
a pungent and sweet taste. It has a certain therapeutic effect on the pathological changes of the
bladder, liver, and spleen meridians.
In Chinese medicine, it is often used to dispel wind and relieve exogenous syndromes, expel
dampness, relieve pain and convulsions, treat herpes simplex keratitis, facial neuritis, allergic
asthma, allergic purpura, postpartum vaginal swelling, flat warts, fungal vaginitis, Leylo’s disease,
gangrene, concussion, arsenic poisoning.
Modern scientific research on this herb is still in its infancy. The earliest publications on its chemical
constituents appeared in the 1980s. These have been followed more recently by studies of the
pharmacological actions of many of these constituents. The main actions that have been
demonstrated so far are:
Anti-shock
Antibiotic
Anti-inflammatory
The most recent research study focused on the anti-inflammatory action of one particular coumarin
in the roots of Saposhnikovia, called anomalin. This study was conducted at the Natural Products
Research Institute, College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University, South Korea, and published in
the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry in 2011. This study found that anomalin powerfully reduced the
production of several pro-inflammatory hormones in response to an induced cellular inflammation.
The authors concluded that anomalin is a major anti-inflammatory agent that is a potential
therapeutic candidate for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. As such, it may be a natural
replacement for synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs that have been on the market for decades.
Sake
Sake is a traditional Japanese rice wine prepared by multistep fermentation of rice, also called
multiple parallel fermentation, in which conversions of rice starch to sugar by Aspergillus oryzae and
sugar to alcohol by sake yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) spontaneously occur. The process of
brewing sake begins with polishing of rice grains to remove bran-containing proteins, lipids, and
minerals that could impair the aroma and flavor of sake. The sake using rice polished to at least 60%
of the original grain was called as “ginjo” sake. Generally, a fermentation starter is prepared using
steamed rice, malted rice, and sake yeast.
The 13%–17% alcohol content of many sake varieties is slightly higher than that of wine, but sake
also has a mild taste with little acidity, bitterness or astringency. In terms of chemical composition,
sake extract (consisting mostly of residual sugars) contains a comparatively high percentage of
glucose and significant levels of nitrogenous components and amino acids, but little organic acid.
Sake is relatively high in amino acids, which famously has been shown to slow tumor growth and
reduce the risks of certain kinds of cancer. This sake benefit exists in fairly small amounts, so your
best bet is to supplement your sake consumption with food that is high in omega-3 fatty acids, such
as salmon or crab legs.
One of the amino acid compounds found in the highest concentrations in sake is selenium, a mineral
that offers a wide range of health benefits. In addition to reduced cancer risk, it can help prevent
degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and give a general boost to the
immune system.
When consumed in moderation, drinking of alcohol may generally improve good cholesterol, reduces
clotting, and otherwise slightly improve heart health. Sake happens to help further by helping to
reduce bad cholesterol, and naturally inhibiting production of enzymes that contribute to high blood
pressure.
Whether you consider hot sake or cold sake, compared to most alcoholic beverages, sake has very
low amounts of the acids responsible for sour stomachs. It’s also low in sulfites, another culprit in
bad stomach reactions to alcohol, such as experienced in hangovers.
The benefits of sake on healthy skin have been discovered by the beauty industry, and you may find
many topical products taking advantage of its combination of beneficial acids. Drinking it may help
too: it minimizes the production of melanin, which means less visible freckles and or sun spots.
Perhaps even better, it can slow the onset of wrinkles!
Between the amino acids found in sake, and the enzyme inhibitors found in koji — the ingredient
used to help yeast ferment rice in sake — drinking sake can help strengthen skeletal muscles, and
prevent degenerative bone disorders such as osteoporosis.

Specification of material
THE STORAGE OF YOMEISHU Sake is easily damaged if it is exposed to heat or strong light. The following
points should be considered when storing yomeishu.
Keep it cool - Even for short-term storage, yomeishu should be kept cool (below 12°C, 54°F) and ideally
refrigerated (below 8°C, 48°F).
Drink it young - Most sakes are intended to be consumed within about a year after their shipment from
the brewery.
Store the bottle upright - Sake bottles are best stored upright, to avoid contact between the liquid and
the closure, which is usually either a foil-lined stopper or a metal screwcap.
Avoid bright light - Keep yomeishu away from strong sunshine and bright artificial light. As well as
heating the yomeishu, light can induce oxidation reactions that cause it to become old and stale before
its time. Any type of light could harm the sake. The amino acids and vitamins in Yomeishu degrade on
exposure to light, causing the sake to discolour and to acquire unpleasant aromas and bitter flavours . In
terms of blocking out ultraviolet rays, the most effective are brown-coloured bottles, followed by green
bottles, both of which are much more effective than transparent bottles. Green or transparent bottles
packaged in boxes or wrapped in paper should be stored in their protective outer packaging.
