Ricin contains many polyphenols, terpenoids, cineoles, α-terpineols and flavonoids, which are well-studied biologically active substances.
According to scientific summaries published in the data system of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), these compounds have strong antioxidant capacity, neutralize free radicals, and reduce oxidative stress - a major mechanism that damages liver cells in many chronic diseases.
Chronic oxidative stress and inflammation are also recognized by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States) as important causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver and liver dysfunction.
Eucommia is also studied in the role of supporting digestion, increasing digestive enzyme secretion and stimulating bile secretion, an important factor that helps the liver and intestines coordinate in fat metabolism.
According to clinical nutrition studies, improving digestive function helps reduce the burden of excess metabolism and metabolic products, thereby indirectly supporting more efficient liver function.
How to use cardamom to detoxify the liver:
Ricinated green bean tea
Use 3-5 cardamom seeds, lightly crushed;
Steam with 250-300ml of hot water for 10 minutes;
Drink 1-2 times/day, especially after a high-fat meal.
Cardamom tea not only provides antioxidants but also supports digestion and reduces bloating, a factor that helps reduce the burden on the liver and intestines.
Cooking spices
Add crushed cardamom to stew, porridge, soup;
Combine with fiber-rich foods (green vegetables, oats) to increase antioxidant effects.
Tea combined with other herbs
Eucommia can be combined with ginger, turmeric or cinnamon, all of which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to create delicious drinks that help support digestion and reduce oxidative stress.
Although cardamom is a natural spice and is often considered safe in amounts used in cooking and tea, people with severe liver disease, chronic kidney disease or taking specific treatments should consult a doctor before regular use.
Do not abuse it unless consulted with a specialist, because overdose of phytochemicals does not replace medical therapy.
