Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a Chinese herbal beverage that is effective against diabetes and also has nutritional and health effects.

[Conventional technology]

Diabetes, for which stress and obesity are important inducers, is currently one of the most difficult diseases to treat, which greatly troubles modern people.

The fundamental cause of diabetes is a deficiency of insulin, which is a factor that lowers blood sugar compared to adrenaline and other factors that increase blood sugar.The cause of this insulin deficiency is in young-type diabetes. In the adult type, there is a deficiency in the production and secretion of insulin due to a congenital developmental disorder of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, and in the case of the adult type, there is an increase in stress, obesity, and drugs (corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics) that are anti-insulin factors. This is said to be due to a relative lack of insulin.

In the case of the juvenile type, the use of Langerhans islet stimulants such as oral diabetes drugs is not appropriate, but is contraindicated, and treatment must rely solely on replenishing insufficient insulin through injections. In contrast, in adult-type cases, unless the islets of Langerhans deteriorate, diabetes can be controlled by stimulating the islets with oral antidiabetic drugs and promoting the secretion of insulin, while diet therapy and stress Measures are being taken to reduce anti-insulin factors, such as reducing the amount of insulin and controlling body weight.

On the other hand, guava leaf extract, for example,
As stated in Publication No. 36746 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-60075, it is known to be effective for diabetes, and the manufacturing process involves crushing dried guava leaves and adding water to the Add alcohol or lower ketone mixture, heat, concentrate under reduced pressure to produce a liquid extract, and dilute it appropriately to make a health drink;
In some cases, it has been proposed that the liquid extract be further vacuum-dried or freeze-dried to remove the solvent to produce a powdered extract, which is then dissolved in hot water to make a health drink.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, oral antidiabetic drugs for diabetes have many side effects, and if the drug is taken too much to compensate for the insufficient amount of insulin in the body, it can cause hypoglycemia, which can be dangerous, and it can also cause allergies and other side effects. Another problem is that it cannot be used in patients with severe liver or kidney disease, the elderly, pregnant women, patients before and after surgery, and other people who are susceptible to hypoglycemia.

On the other hand, the health drinks described in the above publication use a mixture of water and primary alcohol or lower ketones, so if the liquid extract from guava leaves is diluted as is and used as a drink, the alcoholic acid in the drink will be reduced. Alternatively, there is a problem that lower ketones are mixed. Further, when the liquid extract is pulverized, the alcohol or lower ketone can certainly be removed, but there is a problem in that the manufacturing process is complicated.

The present invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and is relatively simple to manufacture, does not contain solvents such as alcohol used in the manufacturing process, has almost no side effects, and is effective in the fundamental treatment of diabetes. The aim is to provide a Chinese herbal drink that is effective in preventing diabetes as a health medicine and is as easy to drink as regular juice.

[Means for solving problems]

The Chinese herbal beverage according to the present invention that meets the above objectives contains 50% dried and ground guava leaves, 20% dried and ground ginseng leaves, and a small amount of dried and ground watermelon peel and bean sprouts. A dry mixture containing the ingredients is steamed with steam to fully absorb moisture, the moisture-containing mixture is squeezed to extract the extract of the pulverized product, diluted with water, and honey is added.

To explain the above Chinese herbal drinks in more detail,
The present inventor has discovered that since ancient times, it has been infused with water and drunk, and in recent years it has been said to be effective for diabetes, high blood pressure, constipation, obesity, diarrhea, etc., and is used not only for the purpose of disease treatment but also as a health medicine for disease prevention. The guava leaf, which has been attracting attention, was previously taken by making a decoction, but by combining the guava leaf with Korean ginseng, which has long been used as a medicine for eternal youth and longevity, the results were significantly more effective than simply taking the guava leaf alone. It was found that it caused a drop in blood sugar.

It should be noted that the ginseng leaves used here are more effective than the root, which is usually used, and it was found that a dry weight ratio of guava leaves and ginseng leaves of 5:2 is desirable.

As a result of trying to use it in combination with various other herbal medicines, they discovered that an even better hypoglycemic effect could be seen by adding a small amount of watermelon peel extract and bean sprout extract.

In addition, the present inventor has discovered that guava leaves as an essential ingredient,
In addition to ginseng leaves, we tried combining them with other herbal medicines to obtain bean sprouts and watermelon peel, and the results showed that the above essential ingredients were strengthened and also effective against various complications of diabetes. It has also been found that it is preferable to add extracts of sacred mushrooms, peach seeds, Hokkaido chrysanthemums, broom leaves, pigeon wheat, corn mustard, and cinnamon bark as small amounts of ingredients.

Additionally, honey, which is added later as a sweetener, makes the beverage easier to drink and is also good for health.
