Numerous Health Benefits That You Can Get From Saluyot Leaves Jeny Rose Rodriguez Health June 21, 2016
Saluyot, jutes or Corchorus olitorius is an edible leafy vegetable that is widely found in the Philippines. This plant is so common, that it is mistaken as weed. Unknown to many however, saluyot has long been used as food staple since ancient times by the Jewish people and the 
Egyptians. It has been grown since 6000 B.C. and accordingly was eaten by Cleopatra for its health and beauty benefits. Because saluyot or jute plant is by nature a vegetable, preparation is easy and can be incorporated to various dishes. This allows individuals to benefit from its vitamins and mineral content.
Since saluyot or jute plant can be found easily, there are a lot of local viands and/or dishes that use it as an ingredient. For instance, the Ilocanos use saluyot in their preparation of dinengdeng and bulangbulang. Fried saluyot are also mixed with sautéed bamboo shoots and dried beans. Other dishes include, but are not limited to chicken viands, wherein saluyot are mixed in either sautéed or pureed form. It is also integrated in mongo dishes, and in soups.
Here are some of its benefits: >For pregnant women This jute leaf is widely used as a remedy for pregnant women experiencing prolonged labour. When a pregnant woman is experiencing such condition, a bunch of saluyot leaves can be squeezed to extract the juice so to be given as a drink. It has also been discovered to aid milk secretion for lactating mothers.
>For weight loss The green leaf has been described as a source of weight loss. It contains 97 calories, so for those who are trying to lose some weight, this is a helpful dietary option.
>As vegetable and medicine
Studies have shown that this green, leafy vegetable is also rich in the following nutrients:
beta-carotene which is best for promoting good eyesight
iron for healthy red blood cells
calcium for strong bones and teeth, and
vitamin C for smooth, clear skin, strong immune cells, and fast wound-healing.
The Vitamins A, C and E present in Saluyot “sponge up” free radicals, scooping them up before they can commit cellular sabotage. As a vegetable, it contains an abundance of antioxidants that have been associated with protection from chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension and other medical conditions. Ayurvedics (ancient Hindu system of healing) use the leaves for ascites, pain, piles, and tumours. Elsewhere, the leaves are used for cystitis, dysuria, fever, and gonorrhoea. The cold infusion is said to restore the appetite and strength.
>It is also used as herbal medicine to control or prevent dysentery, worm infestation and constipation.
Saluyot leaves are rich in vitamins, carotinoids, calcium, potassium and dietary fibres. Saluyot is acclaimed also for its anti-aging benefits.

I'm surprised that not too many doctors in the Philippines are knowledgeable about herbal medicine. As in the USA doctors in the Philippines are brainwashed by Big Pharma and the FDA. US medical schools don't even require Students to take Nutrition. It's only optional. All they teach is about Pharma drugs. Doctors not allowed by FDA to advise or prescribe herbal medicine. You have to get it from licensed Natural Medicine doctors called ND. BY contrast Germany requires their doctors to pass Herbal exam to get a license. It takes longer in China to be a doctor. They have to study western and TCM... Traditional Chinese Medicine. Does anyone know if their is licensing for Natural Medicine in the Philippines?

Art of Herbal Remedies Revealed

Drynaria (Gu Sui Bu)
Rhizoma DrynariaeDrynaria, just as its mandarin name Gu Sui Bu implied, is an herb that is commonly utilized for shattered bones. That is to say, its Chinese name, translated literally as “broken bone repairing” in English, says it all. However, as one of common Chinese herbs, it is more than just a broken-bone herb and it has what it takes to be more versatile medicinally.
What is Drynaria?
Medicinally it mainly refers to the roots of Drynaria fortunei (Kunze) J. Sm., Drynaria baronii (Christ) Diels, Drynaria propinqua (Wall.)J. Smith, or Pseudodrynaria coronans (Wall.) Ching. And other common names include Drynaria roosii, Drynaria Rhizome, and Rhizoma Drynariae. Among them Drynaria fortunei is a species of basket fern in the family Polypodiaceae. And the first one is mainly produced in Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Sichuan; the second one is mainly produced in Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan. This herb can be harvested all year round but winter and spring are preferable. After the harvest, remove leaves and scales, wash clean, moisturize thoroughly, slice, and dry. It is used raw or sand-scorched.
Drynaria fortunei plant is an epiphytic herb, 20 to 40cm high. Fleshy, stout, and long rhizome grows horizontally and is covered densely with brown, linear chisel-shaped scales. Leaves come with two shapes. Foliage leaf is thick and leathery, reddish-brown or grayish brown, ovate, sessile, 5 to 6.5 cm long and 4 to 5.5 cm wide, and with pinnate lobed edges that looks like oak leaves. Sporophyll is green and with a short winged handle. Blade is oblong or oblong, 20 to 37cm long, 8 to 18.5cm wide, and pinnatipartite. 6 to 15 pairs of accessory pinna are broadly lanceolate or oblong, 4 ~ 10 cm long, and 1.5 to 2.5cm wide. Sori are round, brown, arranged with 2 to 4 lines on both sides of the middle vein. Each rectangular mesh harbors one 1 without indusia.
Drynaria benefits
Root of Drynaria fortunei contains naringin, hop-21-ene, fern-9 (11) ene, ern-7-ene, filic-3-ene, ÎČ-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and tetracyclic triterpenoids, such as cycloardenyl acetate, cyclomargenyl acetate, cyclolaudenyl acetate, 9, 10-cycloanost-25-en-3ÎČ-yl acetate, and so on. However, as far as the chemical constituents are concerned, it provides with no health benefits information, which instead can be revealed by its pharmacology.
Modern pharmacological actions of Drynaria
1. Its water decoction and Drynaria extract by alcohol can prevent the rising of serum cholesterol and triglycerides. In addition, they can prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques;
2. Its polysaccharides and flavanone glycosides can lower blood lipid and resist arteriosclerosis;
3. It can promote bone’s absorption of calcium, increase calcium and phosphorus levels, which is conducive to fracture healing;
4. It can improve cartilage cells and postpone degenerative lesions of bone cells;
5. The flavanone glycosides contained have significant sedative and analgesic effects.
Proven Drynaria herbal remedies
On the basis of related description on Chinese Materia Medica, this herb is considered bitter in flavor and warm in properties. And it goes to meridians of liver and kidney. Its fundamental functions are tonifying kidney to reinforce bones and promoting blood circulation to arrest pain. Basic medicinal uses and indications are lumbago due to the kidney deficiency, flaccid feet and knee, deafness, toothache, chronic diarrhea, enuresis, bone fractures, alopecia areata, and so on. Recommended dosage is from 10 to 20 grams in decoction, tea pills, or powder.
1. Gu Sui Bu San. This formula comes from Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang (Taiping Holy Prescriptions for Universal Relief). It is basically used for incised wound and injury of the soft tissues and broken bones. Other major herbal ingredients are Zi Ran Tong (native copper), Hu Jing Gu (Tiger Shin), Bai Gui (Tortoise Plastron), Mo Yao (Myrrh), and more.
2. Shen Xiao Fang. This prescription is from Taiping Holy Prescriptions for Universal Relief too. It is mainly formulated for kidney deficiency induced low back pain, flaccidity of lower limbs, tinnitus and deafness, toothache, chronic diarrhea, and so on. Other primary herbs include Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea Fruit), Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root), and so on.
Drynaria side effects and contraindications
It was reported that overdose of Drynaria herb might result in adverse reactions such as poisoning and stomachache. But so far no recognized drug interactions found clinically. TCM wise Gu Sui Bu herb should be used with cautions in cases of fire excess from yin deficiency and blood deficiency and wind-dry.

Plant Reveals Anti-Alzheimer’s Compounds

Summary: Researchers have identified several active compounds from Drynaria Rhizome that appear to be able to improve memory and reduce disease characteristics in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
Source: Frontiers.
Japanese scientists develop a new technique to isolate active therapeutic compounds for Alzheimer’s disease from plants.
Japanese scientists have developed a method to isolate and identify active compounds in plant medicines, which accurately accounts for drug behavior in the body. Using the technique, they have identified several active compounds from Drynaria Rhizome, a traditional plant medicine, which improve memory and reduce disease characteristics in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
Traditional plant medicines have been used by humans for a long time, and these therapies are still popular in many countries. Plants typically contain a huge variety of compounds, many of which have no effect in the body, and some which can have significant effects. If a plant medicine shows a therapeutic effect, scientists are interested in isolating and identifying the compounds that cause the effect to see if they can be used as new drugs.
In many cases, scientists repeatedly screen crude plant medicines in lab experiments to see if any compounds show a particular effect in cells grown in a dish or in cell-free assays. If a compound shows a positive effect in cells or test tubes, it could potentially be used as a drug, and the scientists go on to test it in animals. However, this process is a lot of work and doesn’t account for changes that can happen to drugs when they enter the body – enzymes in the blood and liver can metabolize drugs into various forms called metabolites. In addition, some areas of the body, such as the brain, are difficult to access for many drugs, and only certain drugs or their metabolites will enter these tissues.
“The candidate compounds identified in traditional benchtop drug screens of plant medicines are not always true active compounds, because these assays ignore bio-metabolism and tissue distribution,” explains Chihiro Tohda, senior author on the recent study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology. “So, we aimed to develop more efficient methods to identify authentic active compounds that take these factors into account.”
The scientists were interested in finding active compounds for Alzheimer’s disease in Drynaria Rhizome, a traditional plant medicine. They used mice with a genetic mutation as a model for Alzheimer’s disease. This mutation gives the mice some characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease, including reduced memory and a buildup of specific proteins in the brain, called amyloid and tau proteins. This means that the mice are a useful tool to test potential Alzheimer’s disease treatments.
Initially, the researchers mashed the plant up and treated the mice orally using this crude plant extract. They found that the plant treatment reduced memory impairments and levels of amyloid and tau proteins in their brains. In a key step, the team then examined the mouse brain tissue, where the treatment is needed, 5 hours after they treated the mice with the extract. They found that three compounds from the plant had made it into the brain – these were a compound called naringenin and two naringenin metabolites.

The researchers then treated the mice with pure naringenin and noticed the same improvements in memory deficits and reductions in amyloid and tau proteins, meaning that naringenin and its metabolites were likely the active compounds in the plant. They found a protein called CRMP2 that naringenin binds to in neurons, which causes them to grow, suggesting that this could be the mechanism by which naringenin can improve Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.
The team hope that the technique can be used to identify other treatments. “We are applying this method to discover new drugs for other diseases such as spinal cord injury, depression and sarcopenia,” explains Tohda.

An estimated 400,000 flowering plant species exist in the world, and, understandably, it can be difficult to keep track. The vast majority of us can only recognize and name a handful of plants, even if we would like it to be otherwise. If you would like to sharpen your knowledge in the wonderful realm of plant species, I have some good news for you. Like everything else: there’s an app for that!
advertisement - learn more
If you ever walk by a specific plant that you would like to identify, or you have extensive knowledge about plant species that you would like to share, then the PlantNet app is for you. Available for iPhone and Android devices, it is essentially the Shazam for plants. It’s pretty awesome to consider what technology is capable of these days.
How Does The App Work?
The app works by collecting data from a large social network which uploads pictures and information about plants. Scientists from four French research organizations including Cirad, IRA, Inria/IRD, and the Tela Botanica Network developed the app.
The app features visualization software which recognizes many plant species, provided they have been illustrated well enough in the botanical reference base. PlantNet currently works on more than 4,100 species of wild flora of the French territory, and the species list is provided through the application. The number of species included and images used by the application grows as more users contribute.
1-PlantNet-iPhone-Reconnaissance-Plantes-Fleurs
While only a small percentage of plant species can be identified so far, the more users who join, and the more participants from different countries become involved, the more diverse this app will become. So if this is something that interests you, get the app and start contributing today.

What Value Does It Add?
While at the moment it doesn’t focus on edibles, this app lays the frame work for herb collecting and identifying plants in nature that could either be dangerous to you or that you would love to learn more about. The average person these days is enjoying a greater appreciation for nature this app can help them outfit their home and living space with plants they love.
In the future, an edible database could help foragers pick from the wild spread nature has to offer. Not only are wild sources of plants and herbs cleaner and free of pesticides, but they also can be picked fresher and be more nutritious.
At the same time, this app is inevitably going to get people out in nature more as now they can walk about trails and nature with a keen curiosity to learn more about what’s around them.
