Note: Jiaogulan tea is an ancient Chinese herbal medicine and everyday tea from southern China. Its price is mainly determined by quality, and its quality can be judged from the growing method, picking method and processing method. Among these, the raw material of wild Jiaogulan from its place of origin in Hunan, picked by hand with no stems, is the best.

How Jiaogulan tea is made

1. Processing: The stems and leaves of Jiaogulan are used as raw material, with the buds and leaves having the best effect. It is made by combining the ancient tea-making process with the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece process. The liquor is emerald green, overflowing with a delicate fragrance, slightly bitter and sweet. If the raw material is "wild Jiaogulan", with roots, stems and leaves all used, washed, sun-dried and chopped, then it is made into teabags.

2. Drinking: 3 to 5 grams of Jiaogulan tea, brewed with boiling water, with 500 ml of water being suitable, covered and steeped for about 3 minutes. The health-maintenance amount is 3 to 6 grams per day, and the therapeutic amount is more than 9 grams per day.

3. Effects: It promotes the body's fat metabolism and balances it, thereby achieving effects such as lowering blood lipids and reversing fatty liver, and it also has definite effects on weight loss, relieving constipation, detoxification and promoting sleep.

The health benefits of Jiaogulan tea

1. Lowering blood lipids: Jiaogulan significantly lowers cholesterol (TCH), triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL), protects vascular endothelial cells, prevents lipids from depositing on blood vessel walls, and has an anti-atherosclerotic effect.

2. Regulating blood pressure: Jiaogulan markedly lowers blood viscosity and regulates blood pressure, while also preventing the formation of microthrombi and increasing the tolerance of myocardial cells to hypoxia, thus protecting the myocardium.

3. Preventing thrombosis: Thrombosis is triggered by many factors. Both in vivo and in vitro tests have proven that Jiaogulan extract has a good depolymerizing or inhibiting effect on thrombi formed by various factors, indicating that it is an anti-thrombotic agent that inhibits platelet function, coagulation function and red blood cell aggregation at multiple stages.

4. Preventing and treating cardiovascular disease: Jiaogulan extract can reduce the size of myocardial infarction, inhibit the rise in free fatty acids (FFA) after myocardial infarction, lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content, protect the activity of myocardial SOD and creatine phosphokinase (CPK), correct the metabolic disorder of FFA during myocardial ischemia, and has a good protective effect on myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Jiaogulan's regulation of lipid metabolism and antioxidant effects are both beneficial for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and clinical trials have also proven the good effect of Jiaogulan in treating coronary heart disease.

5. Regulating blood sugar: Jiaogulan can protect the adrenal glands, thymus and endocrine organs, and maintain the normal function of the endocrine system. It is precisely because of this effect that Jiaogulan has the action of lowering blood sugar and improving glucose metabolism.

6. Promoting sleep: Jiaogulan can regulate the balance between excitation and inhibition in the cerebral cortex, has a bidirectional regulatory effect on the central nervous system, and has the effects of sedation, hypnosis, anti-tension, relieving fatigue and enhancing memory

7. Slowing aging: Jiaogulan can extend the number of cell reproduction generations and increase the number of human skin cell regenerations from 22 generations to 27 generations, extending cell lifespan by 22.7%. It increases the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and endurance. It inhibits the formation of lipofuscin (the substance that causes human aging), and has the effects of darkening hair, promoting hair growth and beautifying the skin.

8. Cancer prevention and anti-cancer: Pharmacological practice has proven that Jiaogulan can prevent normal cells from becoming cancerous, mainly acting on the DNA synthesis process of tumor cells and increasing the gene mutation capacity of tumor cells.

9. Improving immunity: Jiaogulan can improve macrophage capacity, significantly increase the white blood cell count, and at the same time increase the phagocytic function of the white blood cells themselves, promote the secretion of interleukin in the body, increase the production of serum immunoglobulin, and induce the production of interferon, having a bidirectional regulatory effect on the immune system.

10. Regulating physiological functions: Jiaogulan can protect the adrenal glands, thymus and endocrine organs from shrinking with age, maintain the function of the endocrine system, and has the effect of lowering blood sugar and improving glucose metabolism.
