Red Peony Root
Traditional Uses
Cleanses heat, cools blood, invigorates blood circulation, disperses stagnancy, for Abdominal pain, subcostal pain, accumulation, obstruction of blood circulation, hernia, intestinal wind, swelling, hyperemia, amenorrhea
Scientific Research
(1) Tranquilizing purpose: It inhibits the central nervous system, producing a tranquilizing action.
(2) Analgesic and anticonvulsive purposes: It suppresses abdominal pain caused by spasms of the smooth muscle of the small intestine.
(3) Antibacterial purpose: In vitro it inhibits dysentery bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus.
(4) Antiviral purpose: It inhibits the virus causing epidemic common cold.
(5) Coronary artery-dilating purpose: The aqueous extract dilates the coronary arteries.
Rehmannia Root
Traditional Uses
Clears up heat, cools blood, controls bleeding, nourishes yin and blood, for Hematemesis, epistaxis; hematochezia, functional bleeding, macula, dermal eruption, fidgets and fever, dark red tongue, fever due to yin deficiency, sore throat, dry mouth and lips, dry stool, thirst, hemorrhage
Scientific Research
(1) Hemostatic purpose: Animal studies show that the extract hastens the coagulation of blood.
(2) Cardiotonic and diuretic purposes: The extract is cardiotonic to a dysfunctioning heart because of its purpose on cardiac muscle and ability to dilate renal blood vessls; therefore it also possesses a diuretic purpose.
(3) Hypoglycemic purpose: The extract when given orally to rabbits lowers their blood sugar level, while its methanol extract lowers the blood sugar level of mice having alloxan-induced diabetes.
Reishi Mushroom
Traditional Uses
Nourishes, supplements, tonifies, removes toxin, astringes, disperses accumulation, for Deficiency fatigue, neurasthenia, insomnia, bronchial cough in elderly persons, carcinoma
Scientific Research
(1) Antitussive and expectorant purposes: The ethanol extract or aqueous extract when injected peritoneally into mice inhibits the central nervous system and produces antitussive and expectorant actions.
(2) Hypotensive purpose: Intraperitoneal injections of the extract into anesthetized rabbits and dogs lower their blood pressure and increase their urine volume.
(3) Antihepatic purpose: Carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic mice when fed with the ethanol extract at a dosage of 10 g/kg for eight days have fewer symptoms associated with hepatitis.
(4) Antibacterial purpose: It is bacteriostatic to Bacillus pneumoniae, staphylococci, and streptococci bacteria.
Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is probably the most mysterious of all the products of the beehive. Just about everyone has heard of royal jelly, if only as an ingredient in luxurious skin-care products. But chances are you don't know much about it as a hormone-rich dietary supplement. Royal jelly is one of Nature's best-kept secrets.
In fact, because royal jelly is fed directly from a worker bee to the queen bee, most beekeepers never have an opportunity to see or taste the royal milk. Nurse bees between five and fifteen days of age secrete royal jelly. In the nursing phase of their development, worker bees practically force-feed themselves near to bursting with an incredibly rich diet of bee pollen and honey. The queen bee drinks her fill of royal jelly directly from the nurse bees' hypopharyngeal glands, located on either side of the nurse bees' heads.
What is Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a thick fluid, creamy in consistency, milky white in appearance. It is synthesized in nurse bees' bodies during the digestion of bee pollen, which helps account for its remarkable quantities of hormonal substances and the strong proteins found in its highly nitrogenous composition. It has a pungent odor. The queen bee obviously thinks royal jelly is delicious, but humans find it very tart and bitter on the tongue.
Royal jelly is fed to the queen bee for the whole of her life. This rich royal milk plays an absolutely essential role in the making of a queen. Queen bees are made, not born. Eggs to be reared as queens are laid in specially prepared, super-size brood cells that look rather like peanut shells. But the eggs deposited therein by the queen mother of the hive are identical to those eggs that are destined to become the sexless worker bees of the hive. They are not genetically superior in any way. Worker bees, denied royal jelly except for three short days during the larval period, are the sexless laborers of the hive.
The Composition of Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is very complex. A broad chemical analysis reveals that it has a moisture content of 66.05 percent; a protein content of 12.34 percent; lipids, 5.46 percent; reducing substance, 12.49 percent; minerals, .82 percent; and unidentifiable elements, 2.84 percent. And here we are again looking at the ìmagic" of the bee. As with bee pollen, science still hasn't been able to completely identify and isolate all the important constituents of royal jelly, let alone synthesize a satisfactory substitute in the laboratory.
We know royal jelly is exceptionally rich in natural hormones and offers an abundance of the B vitamins ñ including thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, inositol, and folic acid ñ and vitamins A, C, and E. With twenty amino acids, royal jelly is a highly concentrated source of rich proteins, including cystine, lysine, and arginine. It provides important fatty acids, sugars, sterols, phosphorus compounds, and acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is important in the transmission of nerve messages and assists in the production of glandular secretions. Royal jelly is rich in nucleic acids, which in royal jelly include DNA and RNA, the very stuff of which life is made. Gelatin, one of the precursors of collagen, is another component of royal jelly. Collagen is a powerful anti-aging element that keeps us youthful. The presence of gamma globulin, an infection-fighting and immunostimulating factor, has been documented in royal jelly. Not surprisingly, royal jelly also contains decanoic acid, which exhibits strong antibiotic activity against many bacterial and fungal infestations. If royal jelly did not have this built-in antibiotic factor, science points out, the nutritive richness of the royal milk would provide an excellent growing medium for all kinds of harmful microbes. Mother Nature takes care of her own.
Before we examine the scientific studies on royal jelly, let's look at the role this nutritively dense royal milk plays in the hive. During the first three days of larval development, baby bees destined to become workers of the colony are fed a diluted form of royal jelly ñ the royal milk liberally mixed with honey. This rich brood food is supplied so generously, the tiny young larvae actually lie in a pool of it within their individual brood cells. The mass feeding of royal jelly comes abruptly to an end after three days. The quality of brood food changes, and the quantity supplied is reduced sharply.
During the remainder of their larval development, baby worker bees are fed bee bread (bee pollen) and honey. Food is given as needed. During the final stages of larval life, the development of the worker-larva's sex glands is suppressed. Her sex glands will remain immature and useless for the whole of her life. However, her hypopharyngeal glands, the glands that will secrete the royal jelly to feed the queen, mature and develop fully. Should royal jelly, even in diluted form, continue to be supplied to these baby workers, a queen would be produced.
The Rearing of a Queen
Throughout her entire larval and pupal periods, a future queen is supplied with highly nutritive, hormone-rich royal jelly. Nurse bees instinctively supply abundant royal jelly to the larvae deposited in the peanut-shaped queen brood cells past the three-day period of mass feeding of royal jelly to all larvae.
