Persimmon
Leaf
- Supplementing a high-fat diet with powdered leaves taken from
Native American persimmon trees can inhibit weight gain and lower
both food intake and plasma lipid levels, research
shows. Scientists believe that the rich fiber and phenolic content of
persimmon leaves, which are commonly used to make tea in India,
increases the amount of lipids removed from the body as feces.
"Since the persimmon leaves have beneficial effects on hemostatsis,
constipation, hypertension, apoplexy, weight loss and atherosclerosis, they have
been broadly applied in food and medicine," says J Lee, from the Ottogi Research Center in Kyonngi-do, The Republic of Korea and
colleagues.
To investigate if the leaves also improved metabolism and lipid
levels, the team fed three groups of rats either a normal control,
high-fat, or high-fat with powdered whole persimmon leaf diet, for 6
weeks. Eating the high-fat diet without persimmon leaves increased
the rats' body weight by an average 114% in comparison with those
fed the normal control diet. However, rats eating the persimmon leaf
supplemented high-fat diet had a final body weight similar to that
of the normal control group after 6 weeks.
"Thus indicating that persimmon leaf supplementation suppressed
the excess body weight gain that could be induced by high-fat
feeding," say the authors in the journal Food and Chemical
Toxicology. They added that these rats gained less weight because
persimmon leaf consumption suppressed their food intake, perhaps via
the hormone leptin, levels of which were higher in the
leaf-supplemented group than the high-fat only group.
Eating persimmon leaves with a high-fat diet also created a less
atherogenic lipid profile by lowering plasma total cholesterol
and triglyceride concentrations, while increasing the ratio of
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to total cholesterol. Finally,
the researchers say the fact that rats eating persimmon leaves had a
higher daily fecal weight than the high-fat only group, shows that
the "combined effect of high-fiber and high-phenolic content in
persimmon leaf itself could enhance the fecal excretion of neutral
and acidic sterol." They conclude: "Efficacy tests of lipid-lowering
action of persimmon leaf suggest that this whole persimmon leaf food
would be beneficial for regulation of lipid metabolism or prevention
of hyperlipidemia in an experimental animal model."
The tannins and flavonoids in Persimmon leaves have
anti-hypertensive, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-mutagenic properties.
The leaf also acts as a mild laxative. It is used for hemorrhoids
and varicose veins. Persimmon leaf extract containing astragalin,
when taken orally, acts as a natural antihistamine which helps to reduce
allergic reactions. It relieves the symptoms of dermatitis, reducing
inflammation and thickening of the skin. Persimmon leaves also alleviate
itching. The astringent raw Persimmon fruit is used to treat
constipation, gastro-intestinal irritation, dysentery, chronic diarrhea,
ulceration of the bowel and stomach, catarrh of the rectum and colon,
hemorrhoids, and to stop bleeding.
Persimmon leaves are a good source of important dietary
antioxidants, such as vitamin A & C and flavonoids. It has been
widely used as a tea in oriental countries. In particular, several
tannins and flavonoids isolated from persimmon leaf were recently
found to have antihypertensive, anticarcinogenic and
antimutagenic actions. It is highly possible, therefore, that
persimmon leaves may be developed into potential sources of natural
antioxidants and therapeutic drugs.
Persimmon leaf is
anti-allergic and anti-pruritic in composition; in other words,
an allergy or itching preventive food. Furthermore, research
has proven the therapeutic effect of persimmon leaf extract on those
suffering from dermatitis. The preventive effect of persimmon leaf
extract on the dermatitis was dose-dependent and a continuous intake of
persimmon leaf extract significantly decreased its onset and
development. There were no significant adverse reactions observed. As
well, studies have shown that supplementation of persimmon leaf improves
lipid profiles and suppresses body weight gain in animals that were fed
high-fat diets. It is also used topically in some beauty products to
help to clarify the skin and eliminate dull and dark areas.
Persimmon has been
cultivated in Japan for at least 1,000 years, where it is considered
the national fruit. So it only seems natural that Japanese
researchers discovered that the main flavonoid in persimmon—astragalin—inhibits
the release of histamine in mice suffering from atopic dermatitis. When
the mice were given persimmon extract, they exhibited fewer
behavioral symptoms, such as scratching and biting their skin. There
was also a reduction of serum IgE, the antibodies produced in
response to an allergen. Additionally, tissue samples showed there was
less inflammation and thickening of the skin.
Malva
Leaf (Chinese Mallow)
- Often made into a tea to
soothe the membranes of the digestive system. Malva Leaf
is mildly astringent and diuretic and used to treat
gastroenteritis, stomachache and conditions of the spleen. Malva Leaf is also thought to be a mild laxative.
The seeds are used in Tibetan medicine, where they are
considered to have a sweet and astringent taste plus a healing
potency. They are used in the treatment of renal disorders, the
retention of fluids, frequent thirst and diarrhea.
Holy
Thistle
- Holy Thistle supports the liver in the
release of toxins. Medicinally for
over 2000 years, most commonly for the treatment of liver and
gallbladder disorders. Holy thistle products are popular in
Europe and the United States for various types of liver disease.
Holy thistle is believed to have great power in the purification
and circulation of the blood. Used for stomach and digestive problems, gas in the
intestines, constipation, and liver troubles. It is very
effective for dropsy, strengthens the heart, and is good for the
liver, lungs, and kidneys.
Marshmallow
Root/Leaf
- Traditionally used to soothe and support
the intestines. It is an oldtime remedy for bladder infection,
digestive upsets, fluid retention, intestinal disorders, kidney
problems, sinusitis and sore throat. Marshmallow is a natural
source of beta-carotene, amino acids, minerals and vitamins and
is often used as a filler in the compounding of pills. Primary
chemical constituents in Marshmallow include substantial
mucilage, polysaccharides, flavonoids (quercetin), kaempferol,
asparagine, tannins, lecithin and pectin. The great demulcent
and emollient properties of Marshmallow make it useful in
inflammation and irritation of the alimentary canal and of the
urinary and respiratory organs. Marshmallow also
contains large amounts of vitamin A, calcium, zinc and
significant amounts of iron, sodium, iodine and B-complex
vitamins. Marshmallow reduces inflammation and has a
calming effect on the body.
**taking Marshmallow and iron
together may reduce the absorption of the iron.
Blessed
Thistle
- Blessed Thistle has been
recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century for treating
smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, diarrhea, and
flatulence. More recently it has shown to be useful in:
Indigestion, heartburn and poor appetite.
**Traditionally used to
stimulate menstruation and abortion, and therefore should be
avoided during pregnancy. It can worsen ulcers.
Blessed thistle may possibly increase the production of acid in
the stomach, thereby interfering with the effectiveness of
antacids and over-the-counter medications such as Pepcid AC and
Zantac AR.

Here's what some users
have said about Holy Tea...
"I have been on Holy Tea for 12 years,
both my husband and I. I had Crohn's Disease, Irritable Bowel
Syndrome and terrible acid reflux. I won't miss a day without
drinking my tea. I used to have terrible knife-like sharp pains
in my stomach from the Crohn's and IBS, and a great deal of
discomfort from the acid reflux. The tea has cleared
all of this up, and I lost almost 30 pounds as well. My husband
lost more weight than I did. I swear by the tea and would not be
without it."
- Ruth and Billy H, TN
"Since I began taking Holy Tea I no
longer need to take Nexium, and my Acid Reflux is totally
cleared up. I dropped from 240 to 185 lbs., and even though I
smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day the doctor said he could not
believe how clear my lungs are, as if I did not smoke. The Tea
is the best health product I have ever taken!"
- William G, TN
"As a member of the medical community, I was
quite familiar with the causes, symptoms, and treatments
available for Crohn's. I became much more knowledgeable in this
regard as I became a victim of this so-called incurable
disorder. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind as to the
effectiveness and medical principals behind the Tea. I
have experienced personally the pain and discomfort that results
from Crohn's and I have also done exhaustive research into the
possible treatments and cures. The Tea is the only
viable solution I am aware of for treating and clearing up this
dreaded disease."
- Dr. Dennis R, TN

Preparing Your Holy Tea Beverage To Taste
You may adjust the amount of Holy Tea you consume daily
to suit your body’s needs. Don't worry, it tastes good!
It tastes like a regular tea or herbal tea - not like "medicine"
- and you can even mix it with your favorite teas. You may not
even want to add any sugar or honey.
Two bags of Holy Tea will produce one gallon. If
you drink one 8-ounce glass or mug of Holy Tea twice per day
(with 2 meals) this will last for 8 days. Thus a pack
of 8 bags of Holy Tea will last for one month (32 days). If
you drink an extra 4-ounce glass of Holy Tea with a snack then 2
bags of Holy Tea will last about 6 days, and 8 bags (4 gallons)
will last for about 24 days.
Bring
a quart of water to a full rolling boil, turn off the stove,
let the water sit a couple of minutes before putting in two tea bags, cover, and let STEEP for at least
four to eight hours. This brings the herbs to full potency.
Add water or your favorite beverage to make a gallon, Refrigerate ready to drink. Drink two 8 oz. & one 4 oz glasses
per day, more, when your body wants it.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. It will tell you when to make the Tea
stronger! It tastes great!. You can mix Holy Tea with any other
juice or tea, if you like. A good
way to help Holy Tea work faster: A ¼ tsp. of baking soda in a
tumbler, add 2-3 Tbs apple cider vinegar, drink, and follow
with Holy Tea. Do this after breakfast and dinner, and watch
the great results. Apple cider vinegar is very healthy. This,
combined with Holy Tea, is the best natural anti-biotic known
to man. After drinking the gallon of tea, save the tea bags, dry
the tea herbs, and simply add to any food: soups, spaghetti,
stews, salads, potatoes, etc.
Two bags of Holy Tea produce one gallon. If
you drink one 8-ounce glass or mug of Holy Tea twice per day
(with 2 meals) it lasts for 8 days. 8 bags of Holy Tea will last
for one month (32 days). If you drink an extra 4-ounce glass of
Holy Tea with a snack then 2 bags of Holy Tea will last about 6.5
days, and 8 bags (4 gallons) will last for about 24 days.
IMPORTANT: Holy Tea must be steeped in water which is HOT -
close to the boiling point, but NOT BOILING. DO NOT MICROWAVE!
Excessive heat will destroy the important tea enzymes.
(If using a kettle to heat the water, remove it after you
first hear the bubbling noises or see steam. If the water has
already come to a rapid boil, let it set for a few minutes to
cool and stop the boiling.)
Do not microwave tea!!!
Microwaves will destroy the natural enzymes and render
some important nutrients ineffective.
If you prefer to drink your Holy Tea warm or hot, you
can heat it in a saucepan or tea kettle - but do NOT heat
the mixture to the boiling point. The boiling of the
water will break down the herbs and will lose their potency.
Always drink the Holy Tea with food - not on its own.
Drink about 8 ounces with meals such as breakfast and
dinner, and drink about 4 ounces with a snack or a light
lunch. A standard teacup holds about 6 ounces.
Drink plenty of water. Not
drinking enough water reduces your body's ability to get rid of
wastes and toxins. Drinking enough water is especially important
while detoxing
your body. It helps your kidneys, sweat glands, lymphatic
system, lungs, and digestive tract flush out toxins and
waste material. Water acts as the carrier to transport
nutrients into your cells and flush waste material out of
your cells.
You can use a
refrigerated concentrate, and add it to hot water or hot
tea. Make 1 quart instead of 4
quarts of Holy Tea using 2 bags, refrigerate, then add 2
ounces of the cold concentrate to 6 ounces of hot water or
hot tea.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE on how your body will react to a
cleansing. It is a good suggestion to drink less than the
recommended the first day (for instance the recommended is 16 oz
a day, start the first day with 10 oz, especially if you want to
get the feel of how the herbs are going to work with you in
cleansing the system) and increase to the recommended
amount.
Suggested Use of Holy Tea
Always drink the Holy Tea while eating food
- not on its own. Drink about 8 ounces with meals like
breakfast and dinner, and drink about 4 ounces with a snack or a
light lunch.
If
you need to drink more or less of your Holy Tea beverage,
you are free to do so. But remember that it is a cathartic
and detoxifying tea, so it is possible to experience a little
discomfort during the first few days when your body is going
through the initial cleansing and elimination of accumulated
toxins and old waste material.
You will likely be going to the bathroom more frequently for a
few days, so plan ahead if you are not at home. Don't worry, you
are not going to be running to the bathroom! You will just be
getting a natural urge to go more often than before - perhaps
two to three times per day. And it should be natural and
effortless, with no straining. If you work Monday to Friday, it
may be best to start taking your Holy Tea on a Friday after
work, so you can be at home over the weekend.
As
you continue to drink your Holy Tea every day, you will
be removing more and more toxins and impacted fecal matter from
your colon, and you will start to feel better and have more
energy. The more that has built up over the years, the
longer it will take to clean out a larger amount. We suggest at
least 3 months of drinking Holy Tea every day. Many users
keep drinking it for years.
As
your colon is being cleared of the material that is clogging it,
you should see your abdomen start to
shrink. You will lose inches from your waist, and you will lose
pounds of excess weight.
Drink More Water!
IMPORTANT: You also need to drink 8 cups (64
oz.) of clean water daily, which is
recommended for everyone every day, whether you have any of the
above mentioned conditions or not! Not drinking enough water
reduces your body's ability to get rid of wastes and toxins. It
is especially important while detoxing your body to give it lots
of water to help your kidneys, sweat glands, lymphatic system,
lungs, and digestive tract flush out the toxins and waste
material.
Water is the "universal solvent" which acts as the carrier to
transport nutrients into your cells and flush waste material out
of your cells.
