There’s a Korean fruit that appears and tastes like a banana. The primary character is the eulreum fruit. Yeonsangun, the tyrant of Joseon, was hooked on the style of this Korean banana that ripens within the fall. Within the fifth 12 months of his reign, Yeonsangun personally issued an edict saying, “Yearly, collect grapes and the fruit of the eulreum vine and convey them to the palace.” Within the sixth 12 months of his reign, he had the royal secretaries of the Royal Secretariat style the eulreum fruit and write a poem to current to them.

The medicinal herb that was all the time used to deal with King Injo’s bloating and mouth ulcers after he ascended the throne by way of a revolt was moktong, the dried stem of the gourd plant. Outdated medical books describe moktong as “solely the abdomen swells, however the limbs and face usually are not dry or swollen, and the bloated abdomen is agency on the skin however empty on the within, like a drum.” King Injo’s royal physicians recognized it as liver fever, a sort of neurosis, and prescribed medicines similar to Cheonggan-tang and Sihosamultang, which contained moktong.

Kim Yuk, who was the Chief State Councilor on the time, identified the reason for King Injo’s power diseases, saying, “His Majesty has encountered an unlucky destiny, and in consequence, he has turn into unwell from worrying about his well being and his is not going to be fulfilled. He’s alone within the palace, so his vitality is blocked and his blood vessels stagnate and don’t flow into.” Having succeeded in taking energy by overthrowing King Gwanghaegun, he was all the time nervous that one other revolt would happen, and he suffered from excessive stress because of inner strife such because the Revolt of Yi Gwal and the Byeongja Battle. Contemplating that each colitis and oral ulcers have been illnesses attributable to warmth within the liver because of neurological causes, the evaluation of his topics appears nearly correct.

The Chinese language characters for 목통(木通) actually imply ‘a tree with holes that’s straightforward to go by way of’, and the woody a part of the stem of the yew tree really has many cool holes. Perhaps that’s why? In oriental drugs, the core of 목통’s medicinal impact is defined as its means to open blocked blood vessels, or just as a diuretic impact. Extreme stress narrows peripheral blood vessels and causes blood to hurry to the guts, placing a pressure on it and producing warmth. This 목통 heals the blood pooling phenomenon and reduces warmth by way of its diuretic impact. It’s identified that ingesting 목통 as tea lowers blood strain, making it very useful for sufferers with hypertension. Within the information of the second 12 months of King Sunjo’s reign, there are two articles that say, “The queen’s cough and chest tightness have been handled with 목통 tea.”

Within the basic oriental drugs guide, ‘Bon-gyeong-so-jeung’, the medicinal properties of the stem of the vine, particularly, Mok-tong, are described as “brightening listening to and eliminating forgetfulness”, and in relation to the ears, it’s notably efficient for ‘vascular tinnitus’. Mok-tong’s cardiac communication and diuretic results are very efficient in treating pulsatile tinnitus, which is a ‘whooshing’ sound or a sound that matches the heartbeat.

Our ancestors used to say that individuals with good listening to are “good ears,” which signifies that the yang vitality in our physique, like a light-weight bulb shining brightly, enhances the perform of the ears. Because the coronary heart is the supply of yang vitality, a throat that enhances the communication means of the guts is certain to have the impact of enhancing listening to.

Lately, as using earphones has elevated considerably, the variety of sufferers with tinnitus and noise-induced listening to loss because of sound stimulation has elevated quickly. Since tinnitus and listening to loss are attributable to elevated blood stream within the arteries of the ear in response to exterior sounds, curiosity is targeted on the oriental medical remedy impact of the stem of the vine, that’s, the throat.
