The Health Benefits of Japanese Raisin Tree
Even before coffee and other types of medications to counter the hangover were discovered, the relief from hangover remained a big mystery in the Orient. Some people in the past were wondering why most of the people from the Orient don’t suffer from serious hangovers after taking tons of alcohol. This secret lies behind the Hovenia Dulcis or the Japanese raisin tree. So what are the health benefits that you can obtain from a Japanese raisin tree and how can it treat hangovers from too much drinking?
As of today, Japanese raisin is still unpopular. Despite the health benefits that it offers, only a few people know about its existence. Based on the research done by a lot of scientists, it helps reduce the timeframe of hangover on a drunken person. The natural chemical known as Ampelopsin or Dihydromyricetin (DHM) found in Hovenia Dulcis is the main reason. This compound is known to have antihepatotoxic properties, which is said to protect the liver from damage. It means that aside from reducing the hangover, it can also protect your liver from damage caused by alcohol. If you are always drinking alcohol, whether it is moderate or hard, Japanese raisin can significantly reduce the stress or damage caused by alcoholic drinks in your liver.
Though DHM is the main ingredient found in the Japanese raisin, it also contains a second chemical known as Quercetin. Based on preliminary research, it has antiviral and anti inflammation properties. It is also known as an effective bronchodilator that will help reduce the release of histamine in the body and all the other allergic chemicals on your body. It is also known as a good treatment for eczema and Fibromyalgia. It means that taking Hovenia Dulcis can also help relieve a lot of body ailments like eczema, asthma and more.
Since it has anti inflammatory effects, some people say that it can relieve high fever. It also shows success as an antispasmodic remedy for gastrointestinal problems. It also helps in the treatment for different kinds of digestive diseases and conditions. It calms the stomach intestines and the bladder, and it helps reduce swelling and flush out all the toxins from your body.
