Perilla leaves contain many important biological compounds such as rosmarinic acid, luteolin and apigenin - flavonoids with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Supplementing with foods rich in antioxidants can help reduce cell damage and improve metabolism.
Ginger is one of the most studied spices in modern medicine. Key active ingredients such as gingerol and shogaol have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and digestive support properties.
Some clinical studies show that ginger can help reduce symptoms such as bloating, nausea and gastrointestinal inflammation, while contributing to regulating immune responses in the body.
Thanks to its warming and circulatory stimulant properties, ginger is also widely used in traditional remedies to improve blood circulation and reduce cold symptoms.
A noteworthy point is that when perilla and ginger are used together, they can create a biological synergistic effect. A study on people with functional digestive disorders showed that the use of preparations containing perilla and ginger extracts significantly reduces symptoms of epigastric pain, heartburn and nausea after only 1-2 weeks of use.
Perilla contains compounds that can regulate immune responses, while ginger helps reduce inflammation and support circulation. When combined, this drink can help:
Reduce cold and sore throat symptoms
Helps reduce allergic reactions
Enhance the body's antioxidant capacity.
The flavonoid compounds in perilla and phenolic in ginger both have the ability to protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals. When used in the form of drinking water, they can support the natural biological detoxification process of the liver, helping to reduce fat accumulation and improve liver enzymes in research models.
Ginger can also help improve insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, thereby reducing the risk of metabolic disorders - factors closely related to fatty liver disease.
A common way to make it is: Use 5-7 fresh perilla leaves plus 2-3 slices of fresh ginger. Boil with 300-400 ml of water for 5-10 minutes.
You can take it 1-2 times a day, preferably after meals or when there are cold symptoms.
