Hey, that time of the month is really a pain in the a$$, right, ladies? Want to try out something safe and has no side effects? Try out the herbs below, which you can get at any Chinese herbal shops. 

1. Dong Gui (Chinese Angelica or Angelica Sinensis)

    This herb is used to regulate the menstrual cycle and help alleviate menstrual cramps. It has been dubbed as the "female ginseng" due to such abilities. Other benefits of Dong Gui include re-establishing a menstrual cycle after a user stops taking birth control pills; ease PMS and help improve on conditions of anemia; and relieve symptoms of menopause. It is able to alleviate menstrual cramping by relaxing the muscles of the uterus and dilating the blood vessels, due to the coumarin chemicals present in the herb. 

2. Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma)

    Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese women have used to take this herb in combination with three other herbs: Chinese foxglove, red peony and angelica. Chuan Xiong is combined with these three herbs to make soup as a blood tonic to alleviate PMS, cut down on menstrual pain and improve overall health, especially postpartum health. 

3. Bai Shao (White Peony Root)

    Among its benefits is blood circulation improvement and nourishment. It also inhibits the excessive synthesis of prostaglandins that may lead to an over-active uterus and endometrial pain. The inhibition of prostaglandins is due to the fact that Bai Shao can strengthen the liver, in turn increases the efficiency of protein and fat metabolism, resulting in the inhibition of excessive prostaglandins. 

4. Yi Mu Cao (Chinese Motherwort)

    Apart from treating menstrual problems, the leaves of Yi Mu Cao have been used to clear blood clots that occur in menstrual disorders and after childbirth, as well as improve blood circulation. 

5. Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizome)

    This herb helps relieve pain and strengthen blood circulation. When used together with Chuan Xiong, it can help relieve body aches and headaches. This herb contains the active chemical di-tetrahydropalmatine (THP), a neuroactive alkaloid with analgesic action that alleviates cramping pain.

Enzymes: Why do we need them?

Enzyme repairing DNA

We need enzymes for healthy digestion, as without them, we wouldn't be able to swallow, eat, drink and digest our food. Enzymes, which are complex protein molecules manufactured by all plant and animal cells, are very important because they break up large food molecules into smaller units that are absorbed into the cells. Apart from helping the body digest food, enzymes assimilate nutrients assimilate nutrients carbohydrates, proteins, fats and plant fibers. Other functions of enzymes include the regeneration of cells/tissues, the elimination of waste products/toxins and supporting the immune system.

The supplementation of enzymes in our body can help do many things, among which are:

– improves overall digestion

– enhances the immune system

– reduces the effects of aging, wrinkles and sun spots

– reduces inflammation/soreness of muscle and joint pain

– accelerates post-surgical healing

– cleanses our systems from allergic reactions

– aids in reproduction problems, regulating cycles, infertility and sterility

– helps in disease prevention, such as heart disease

– minimizes the effects of cancer therapies

Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains. The two best-studied betalains from beets are betanin and vulgaxanthin, both of which have been shown to provide anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification support.

Tomato enzymes also provide anti-oxidant support. In addition, they also aid digestion, support better bowel function and prevent malabsorption disorders such as gluten intolerance.

Why are we talking about beetroot enzyme and tomato enzyme? Because they packed in one of our Brand Street items, Pure Natural Enzyme.

The Benefits of Vinegar

A range of vinegars at a stall

Hmm, when the word 'vinegar' comes to mind, the sensation you feel on your tongue is this overpowering sense of sourness, are we right? Well, despite the sourness, vinegar is actually good for you.

According to doctoroz.com, vinegars contain anti-oxidants, which lower the risk of cancer and allay premature aging, among others. According to the same site, vinegar also boosts blood sugar levels. Based on a study done in 2004, people who were insulin resistant or had type 2 diabetes had improved insulin sensitivity when they consumed apple cider vinegar before a high-carbohydrate meal. An improvement in insulin sensitivity simply means that the rate of blood sugar levels rising after such a meal could be slowed down.

Another study conducted in 2010 showed that consuming balsamic vinegar protects the health of your heart. What that type of vinegar does is actually restrict the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is believed to lead to atherosclerosis. What is atherosclerosis, you ask? It is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to blocked blood flow and eventually a heart attack or stroke.

According to a 2014 research, vinegar's ingredient—acetic acid—acts as a non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria. Acetic acid decreases the pH of the tissue lining the throat, thus curbing bacteria from growing on its surface. This antibacterial property can help fight the infection behind a sore throat.

As they are a rich source of polyphenols, vinegars can help cut down the risk of cancer. This is based on a research conducted in 2006 where it was found that consuming polyphenols improves antioxidant protection and lessens the risk of cancer.

Lastly, vinegar can help you lose weight, if you use it as a dressing for your salads instead of the usual commercial salad dressing.

A word of caution, though. The enamel on your teeth can be eroded over time if you overconsume vinegar and not rinse out your mouth.

On Brand Street, we sell a line of vinegars under the brand Taijun. To know more, click here.
