Perilla leaves have long been used in traditional Asian medicine as a precious spice, especially nutritionists in Korea, Japan and the United States have recognized the outstanding benefits of this herb, especially when used in the form of fresh perilla leaf water.
Reduces inflammation and allergy symptoms
According to Dr. David B. Allen, an immunologist at the University of California, the active ingredient luteoline and Rosmarinic acid in perilla leaves have the effect of inhibiting histamine - a factor that causes allergic reactions such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and hives.
In just a few days, perilla extract can reduce inflammation levels and improve symptoms in patients with seasonal allergies, says Dr. David B. Allen.
Drinking perilla leaf water every morning helps regulate the immune system, especially useful for people with allergic rhinitis, mild asthma and atopic dermatitis.
Improve digestion and prevent bloating
With the ability to stimulate digestive enzymes, perilla water helps soothe the stomach and improve food absorption. A study from the Institute of Phytopotherapy Medicine in Japan shows that people who drink perilla leaf water daily have a 40% reduction in bloating, nausea, and indigestion after 7 days. Perillaldehyde in perilla also supports mild antibacterial, helping to balance the intestinal microflora.
Soothes the skin and supports acne treatment
Powerful antioxidants in perilla such as flavonoids, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) help reduce skin inflammation, inflammatory acne and improve skin elasticity. When consumed regularly, perilla leaf water can significantly reduce acne inflammation within 5-7 days thanks to the mechanism of regulating the sebum gland and reducing oxidative stress, says Dr. Hana Kim, a dermatologist in Korea.
Reduce anxiety and support sleep
Research from Kyushu University (Japan) shows that the essential oil in perilla leaves has an effect on the central nervous system, helping to relieve stress and improve sleep quality. Drinking perilla water in the evening helps users relax their nerves, sleep deeper and stay alert the next morning.
Notes when using: Users should use boiled fresh perilla leaf water, without adding sugar. Do not recommend long-term high blood pressure for people who are not well controlled. It is best to consult a doctor if you are being treated for a chronic disease.
