The following excerpt taken from
TRIPLE LEAF TEA--Ancient Chinese Medicinal Teas What is
the function of the Loquat Leaf and Malva Verticellata in the diet teas? Peter Holmes in THE JADE
REMEDIES states that loquat leaf is a gastric sedative and antiemetic, and a
respiratory sedative, antitussive and expectorant. In traditional Chinese
medicine terms, Holmes writes that it works on the respiratory and digestive
systems, and the lung and stomach channels. According to THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
HERBS by Demi Brown, loquat leaf is "a bitter, expectorant herb that
controls coughing and vomiting; it is effective against bacterial and viral
infections...internally for bronchitis, coughs with feverish colds, nausea,
vomiting, hiccups, and persistent burping." |

Loquat Leaf has been scientifically shown to have a large amount of incredible health benefits. And below are some uses for this natural herb that may surprise you.
Loquat Leaf Aids Mucous Membranes The extract of the Loquat leaf can be used in a variety of ways, In our Detox Foot Pads, the Organic Loquat Leaf extract will assist the body by acting as a mucolytic agent, which helps dissolve thick mucus that holds toxic compounds. Loquat Leaf Releases Antioxidants We know that Loquat leaf helps your body to release anti-oxidants, the wonderful anti-aging agents that your body naturally produces.² Anti-oxidants have all kinds of benefits, especially the ability to neutralize harmful toxins. It is commonly used to prevent various diseases, increase immunity, and add life expectancy. Loquat Leaf Combats Diabetes One of the Organic Loquat leaf's most impressive abilities is that it helps combat diabetes. Loquat leaf produces a variety of chemicals called triterpenes, one of which is called tormentic acid. Tormentic acid has been shown to increase insulin production which may help to reduce diabetes.³ It has been approved by the Chinese government as an anti-diabetic agent because it produces a set of natural bodily chemicals known as polysaccharides, which also increase insulin production.4 Loquat Leaf Supports the Pancreas The only way to fight Diabetes is to either supplement the pancreas's production of insulin or to help the pancreas produce insulin by regenerating its cells. But we have strong evidence that Organic Loquat Leaf supports pancreatic cells, which increases the production of insulin, helping diabetics in a natural way.4 Diabetes is a debilitating, degenerative disease. Insulin treatment helps, but anything that can assist the pancreas is of great help. Loquat Leaf Assists the Liver in Detoxifying Chemicals The pancreas isn't the only bodily organ that Organic Loquat leaf helps. It also helps the liver. Loquat leaf contains a substance known as Amygdalin (B-17), and this substance is known to help combat liver disorders as well as supporting the livers ability to process and eliminate poisons in the body.² It is somewhat controversial as to how effective Amygdalin is in the support of liver problems, but many believe that the controversy is due largely to excessively Western modes of thinking about health. Amygdalin, incidentally, is thought to have its benefits through anti-oxidation effects. Loquat Leaf Fights Skin Inflammation One of Loquat leaf's oldest reported benefits is the reduction of skin inflammation. And when Loquat leaf is used in topical cream, it can combat edema and histamine-induced skin contraction. In short, it helps the skin heal from inflammation of various kinds.5 Skin inflammation can often be painful and the soothing effect of Loquat leaf can be very beneficfial. Loquat Leaf Aids in the Fight Against Skin Cancer Another benefit of Loquat leaf that's getting much exploration is it's ability to fight skin cancer as well. One of the major drugs that is used to combat the side effects of chemotherapy is adriamycin; Loquat leaf is thought to help reduce the side effects of this drug.² But what's most important is that Loquat leaf contains chemicals that can slow skin cancer.³ Loquat leaf has the unique ability to suppress cancer cells' ability to reproduce and grow.6 In this way, it can be a great asset to those with minor forms of skin cancer. Loquat Leaf Fights A Variety of Viruses Standard viruses are subject to the power of the Loquat Leaf. There is evidence that suggests that the Loquat leaf produces a variety of acids that have an anti-viral effect. These acids produce antigens, which are anti-viral agents.³ Two of these chemicals are called megastimane glycosides and polyphenolic constituents which are known to produce viral antigens. Further, the triterpene chemicals help to directly reduce rhinovirus infections (colds of various kinds).8 Loquat Leaf May Even Help Fight HIV It may sound too good to be true, but there is even evidence that Loquat leaf can have a mild suppressive effect on the HIV virus. This use is possible because of the acids present in this herb. One of these acids in organic Loquat leaf is the 2-alpha-hydoxyursolic acid, and it has the anti-HIV effect.³ |
