The White Root That Calms Inflammation: Saururus chinensis Benefits for Detox and Relief

Hello.

Are you suffering from unexplained skin troubles, persistent rhinitis, or chronic inflammation that weighs your body down? A continuous inflammatory response in our body can be a warning sign that toxins are accumulating.

Today, I want to talk about a mystical herb known as the 'body's cleanser,' Saururus chinensis (known as 'Sam-baek-cho' in Korea), which purifies our body with its outstanding anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties. I will now reveal the secret of how a cup of this tea can turn off our body's inflammation switch.

Wash away your body's inflammation with the three white lights of this herb.

What does Saururus chinensis do for our body?

As its Korean name, which means 'Three Whites Herb,' suggests, Saururus chinensis is a mystical plant characterized by its three parts—root, flower, and leaf—turning white. Within this whiteness lies a powerful force that can subdue our body's inflammation.

[Summary of Benefits]

• Powerful anti-inflammatory and detoxification (Detox) action
• Promotes waste and toxin expulsion through diuretic action
• Improves skin conditions (atopy, acne, dermatitis)
• Purifies blood and improves vascular health

1. Powerful Anti-inflammatory and Detoxification Action
This is the core benefit of Saururus chinensis. Flavonoid compounds abundant in the herb, such as Quercitrin and Isoquercitrin, inhibit the production of inflammation-inducing substances in our body.

It is especially outstanding at alleviating stubborn chronic inflammation and breaking down and expelling harmful substances accumulated in the body.

2. Waste Expulsion through Diuretic Action
This is the principle behind its role as a 'body's cleanser.' Saururus chinensis has a potent diuretic effect that facilitates urination. Through this process, inflammatory substances, waste products, and toxins are effectively flushed out of the body.

It can be particularly helpful for those who often experience swelling or don't feel relieved after urinating.

3. Improving Skin Health
Skin conditions like atopy, eczema, and acne are mostly caused by excessive heat and inflammatory responses within the body. Saururus chinensis helps to address the root cause of these skin problems by calming internal inflammation and expelling toxins. Using the boiled water of the herb for washing the face or as a pack is also a good method.

Precautions for Saururus chinensis Intake (Are there any side effects?)

As much as its benefits are outstanding, wisdom is needed to consume it according to one's own constitution.

[Summary of Precautions]

• It has a very 'cold' nature, so those with a 'cold' body constitution need to be extra cautious.
• Discontinue use if you have a weak digestive system or frequent diarrhea.
• It is better to take breaks rather than consuming it continuously for a long period.

1. 'Cold' Nature
Saururus chinensis has a very 'cold' medicinal property. If individuals who typically have cold hands and feet, a cold abdomen, and are sensitive to the cold consume it in large quantities or for a long time, they may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, or even feel more lethargic. It is safest for such individuals to avoid it or to try a very small amount only after consulting a professional.

2. Burden on the Digestive System
Due to its cold nature, it can be a burden on the digestive function of those with a weak stomach. It is best to drink it warm after a meal.

3. Caution for Long-term Use
Because of its strong diuretic effect, continuous long-term use can lead to the excessive discharge of necessary fluids and electrolytes from the body. It is wise to regulate intake by taking a one-week break after consuming it for 2-3 weeks.

How can we drink Saururus chinensis healthily as a tea? (How-to Guide)

The safest and most effective way to consume the active ingredients of Saururus chinensis is by boiling it as a 'tea'.

• Brewing Saururus chinensis Tea to Cleanse Internal Inflammation
1. Ingredients: 15-20g of dried Saururus chinensis, 2 liters of water.
2. Rinse: Lightly rinse the herb under running water to remove any dust.
3. Boil: Put the herb and water in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes.
4. Drink: It's best to strain the solids and drink it warm. If you plan to drink it like water, it's recommended to dilute the brewed concentrate with water to make it milder.
5. Bonus Tip: If you are concerned about its cold nature, you can neutralize its properties and reduce the burden by boiling it with warming herbs like jujubes (3-4) or licorice root (1-2 slices).
