ANTI-AGING

Nagamo is a type of seaweed known for its extreme vitality. It grows in the shallow offshore waters around Japan. Recent research shows that nakamo, which has a distinctive viscous texture, is surprisingly rich in fucoidan, a polysaccharide that has the ability to boost the immune system, and fucoxanthin, a pigment with anti-obesity effects. Its refreshing and subtle flavor makes nagamo the perfect addition to salads, soups and pasta.

I find it incredibly interesting and heart warming that in Japan they complement their pharmaceutical industry with government sponsored holistic research. They have an organization called the National Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science (NIVTS). This organization was given the task to determine if tea could help alleviate allergy symptoms. After conducting research from 1996 to 2000, they found something that worked!


The NIVTS invented a species of tea called Benifuki. Although it was originally created as a black tea, they discovered that if Benifuki was processed into a green tea, it developed compounds called "methylated catechins" that suppressed histamines. Histamines, as you know, are what causes allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, sneezing, runny noses, etc.

Resveratrol is the substance in seed producing plants that act as the plant's self-defense against disease, fungus and injury.

Japanese Knotweed and Resveratrol go hand in hand. In fact, next to Red Wine, it is the #1 alternative source of Trans-resveratrol. It's scientific name "polygonum cuspidatum" can be found on resveratrol and antioxidant supplements because it makes a better source for supplement makers than grapes or wine.

​

Find a place to buy Japanese Knotweed is difficult due to resveratrol's current popularity. A few years ago it was to be found in most places that sold nutrients en masse to the pill manufacturers. Now, all the big companies have contracted it all.

We did find a couple places to buy Japanese Knotweed root. They are in dried root form; they suggest you dissolve it in hot water to make a tea. I think you'll find the idatori tea recipe below more palatable, being made from the stems and leaves - but it's worth a try:
