(Health Tip) Soothe Rhinitis with Kudzu Root Tea~

Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose.
Rhinitis can be broadly divided into non-allergic and allergic types, with non-allergic rhinitis being...
It refers to infectious rhinitis caused by viruses or bacteria, commonly called "cold."

As a result, symptoms such as tearing, runny nose, sneezing, and itching begin.

Histamine also increases blood flow to the affected area of the antigen, which causes inflammation.

Stimulating the thin mucous membrane of the nose accelerates the immune response and produces more mucus.
It seems that nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing are getting worse.

Antihistamines are the most representative medications that alleviate the symptoms of rhinitis.

Furthermore, cases of side effects from antihistamines can be easily found.

It not only affects sleep but also influences attention deficit, arousal, and motor performance impairments.

In the long run, antihistamines don't seem to be a good option.

So we also only use nasal spray when it's really severe and try to find the underlying cause.

I also discovered kudzu root tea about 6-7 years ago and have been brewing and drinking it.

My in-laws, including my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and nephew, all have severe rhinitis, and about 2-3 years ago, I saw them boiling and drinking kudzu root.

Job's tears contain flavonoid components, which are water-soluble constituents.

It is said that brewing and consuming it allows for more effective intake of the nutritional components of the sword bean.

Not only the seeds, but the shell of the sword bean is also rich in nutrients, so it is sliced whole without peeling and then dried.

The benefits of Job's tears tea include flavonoids and histidine components.

Flavonoids, as antioxidants, help reduce inflammation in the body, and

Histidine, an essential amino acid, is said to help manage conditions related to the nose.

A detailed look at the benefits of the sword bean

Many recommend Job's tears tea as a good remedy for rhinitis, and one of the main reasons is that it contains a large amount of nutrients that boost immunity, such as various vitamins, proteins, calcium, fiber, and magnesium.

A protein called concanavalin A, which is abundantly contained in the seeds of the sword bean, has detoxifying and anti-tumor properties, and is said to have anti-cancer effects by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

I only knew it was good for rhinitis, but the benefits... there are so many!

Not only rhinitis but also vision improvement, gastrointestinal diseases... being able to alleviate some of the illnesses our family members have!

I resolve to drink more consistently.

There are also disadvantages, so you should never consume it blindly.

People with high body heat and high blood pressure may experience side effects.

People with weak intestines should avoid it, and eating it raw is strictly prohibited.

And when eating the jujube beans in moderation, it is recommended to consume no more than 10 pieces.

And because of its diuretic effect, it may cause frequent urination.

Instead of drinking water, you should drink about one or two cups of sword bean tea a day and also increase your water intake.

The photo below shows whole sliced and dried jicama pod shells.

 

I roasted this job's bean shell 4-5 times in a frying pan (they said it's not called roasting but "deok"ing the shell).

Brew it in boiling water, let it cool, then store it in the refrigerator to drink cold.

If you want to drink it warm, heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds before drinking.

 

 

This is really hard to endure, but I found it and bought a jagged bean tea bag to drink conveniently.

Inside the tea bag, roasted kidney bean pods are finely ground so they can be easily brewed and enjoyed.

I also bring it to the company and try to drink it once a day.

 

While drinking job's tears tea, my son, who used to sniffle and struggle every morning, has definitely improved.

Both the groom and I have experienced fewer episodes of difficulty due to rhinitis compared to the past.

 

This weekend... Instead of using tea bags, I will carefully make junggdukkong tea by hand.
