Why Detox?

By: Karina Stewart

Why Detoxify?

Every day we are exposed to external toxins from our environment and internal toxins produced as the byproduct of our digestive and metabolic processes. Toxic and unwanted inorgranic chemicals are found in our foods, water and air in the form of fertilizers, pesticides, heavy metals and other pollutants. Working in climate controlled environment is a source of airborne microorganisms and debris and home and work environments expose us to paint and carpet fumes. Everything from plastic containers to drycleaned clothes to skin and haircare products and cosmetics bombard our bodies with unwanted pollutants. All of these fall in the category of environmental toxins.

Our bodies also produce unwanted substances as the normal byproduct of our digestion and metabolism. In addition to this, we can accumulate waste products of any infectious microrganisms living in our bodies. If our body has the proper nutrition in sufficient quantities to provide a healthy biochemistry and if the organs of elimination and detoxification are functioning at optimal levels, our body is able to eliminate these unwanted substances safely and efficiently through cellular processes via the main organs of detoxification; skin, bowels, liver, kidneys and lungs. This manifests as elimination through perspiration, bowel elimination, urination and respiration. However, if the body is producing and taking in more toxins than it can safely eliminate, a state of chronic toxicity may occur.

Most chronic illnesses are the result of a combination of factors. The main contributing factors, however, can be attributed to the presence of unwanted substances in the body or the lack of needed substances in the body and, in many cases, a combination of both of these factors. When the body has been overburdened with exogenous (external) and endogenous (internal) toxic substances for a prolonged period of time, it loses its capacity to detoxify at the same rate that toxins are being produced and ingested. It is under these unnatural conditions that we begin to manifest symptoms of being overloaded with toxicity and our organs are weakened. It is thought by many natural health professionals that this prolonged state of toxicity undermines organ and cellular function and is the underlying cause of many chronic diseases.

The presence of unwanted substances in the body is a very common root of illness. The process of eliminating unwanted substances from the body at the cellular level addresses and corrects this imbalance. However, for effective detoxification it is essential to provide the body with the necessary dietary substances so that the body can perform this important and natural function. This is exactly what we will be doing on the program.

"Detoxification" refers to the body's ability to neutralize and safely eliminate harmful chemicals within the body. The detoxification program is designed to enhance the body's innate ability to handle toxins. While it is unrealistic and virtually impossible to eliminate external toxins completely, the body can be unburdened and supported in its natural function of detoxification so that it is better able to cope with the daily stresses of modern life and thereby establish a higher level of health.

Detoxification has a beneficial effect on most chronic illnesses because it has an impact on almost all systems of the body: cardiovascular, nervous, immune, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal, urinary, skin, musculoskeletal and endocrine.

Detoxification is recommended for individuals who:

Have symptoms of toxicity
Have chronic digestive problems
Have impaired liver function due to lifestyle (alcohol, toxic exposure, poor eating habits, high stress, chemical exposure in the workplace)
Have impaired liver function due to chronic illness (hepatitis, jaundice, fatty liver)
Are on medications affecting the liver
Are on hormone replacement therapy
Have PMS and moodiness
Have chronic headaches
Have chronic skin conditions
Have gallbladder pathology
Have chronic poor lifestyle habits
Common symptoms alleviated by detoxification may include:
Headaches
Stiff, aching joints and muscles
Susceptibility to infections
Respiratory difficulties
Allergies
Digestive problems
Constipation
Acne
Low energy and fatigue
Restlessness and irritability
Mental fogginess
Inability to concentrate
Depression and moodiness
Poor quality sleep and insomnia

Benefits of Detoxification

These are some of the possible results you can expect to experience:

A feeling of revitalisation
Increased energy, vitality and stamina
Increased immunity and resistance to infections and illness
Reduced allergy symptoms
Increased metabolism and metabolic balancing for weight control
Weight loss
Improved digestive functions such as absorption and elimination
Balanced water metabolism and reduction in fluid retention and uric acid
Enhanced liver function and detoxification processes
Invigorate circulation and balance blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides
Strengthen and lubricate joints; reduced joint aches and pains; increased joint mobility
Reduced risk for many chronic diseases
Reduced symptoms of chronic toxicity
Improved sleep patterns and feeling rested and refreshed
Heightened mental clarity, focus, concentration and memory
Promotion of stable moods, emotional balance and wellbeing; a greater sense of peace and calm
A feeling of rejuvenation on all levels

Il Hwa Invades North and South

Text and photos by: dodong flores

Here’s great news for Il Hwa Ginseng users both from the northern and southern part of greater Manila:
a) Il Hwa just opened another second outlet in SM City North EDSA at the annex building.
b) Il Hwa is now bringing to Paranaque Il Hwa ginseng products so there’s no need for Il Hwa patrons to travel to our Las Pinas branch just to avail of Il Hwa ginseng products.

A new Il Hwa branch is being opened in SM Sucat last July 28 purposely to bring to Paranaque Il Hwa ginseng products. Right now, Ginseng users from Paranaque no longer need to travel far to our SM Southmall (Las Pinas) branch just to avail of our Il Hwa ginseng products.

Here’s how to go to SM Sucat:

The Il Hwa SM Sucat Branch. Photographed by: dodong flores

If your coming from Imus or Bacoor - take a bus or jeepney bound for Baclaran. Get down when you reach Coastal Mall. At the KFC, wait for a jeepney or FX with Sucat signboard. It will pass by SM Sucat.

If you’re from Imus, you can also take jeepney with signboard Kabihasnan/Sucat. From Kabihasnan, you can take a jeepney going to Sucat/Superhighway, then take another jeepney going to SM Sucat.

If you’re from Alabang/Zapote - take a jeepney or FX bound for Alabang/Superhighway junction, then another bus going to SM Sucat.

There are two ways of getting to SM Sucat if you’re coming from Makati:

Take a bus with Bicutan, Sucat, Alabang sign. Tell the conductor that you’re going to Sucat and ask him to remind you if you’re already there. When you’re already in Sucat, take a jeepney with Baclaran or Kabihasnan signboard, or you can ride an FX with the same signboard. Just ask the driver to drop you off in SM Sucat.
From Magallanes corner EDSA ride a southbound Jeepney (Kanan signboard) to SM Sucat.

From Taft Avenue - a jeepney terminal is located beneath the LRT EDSA station. Take the jeepney with signboard DOST via Skyway. It will pass by SM Sucat. Once you reach SM Sucat, Il Hwa Korean Ginseng shop is located at the third floor, main building.

Il Hwa opens a new branch in SM City Annex on July 30, 2009. It is located at the lower ground level, just in front of SM Bowling and Bingo Bonanza, adjacent to the basement car park. This time, Il Hwa customers no longer need to walk farther to Il Hwa shop at the third floor of SM City North EDSA main building as a new branch is now just a few steps away.

What is Ginseng?

noreply@blogger.com (dodong flores) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 08:46:00 +0000

Ginseng is known as the root of life or root of longevity. It is also known as "The Elixir of Life" or "King of Oriental Herb Medicine."

It is a plant whose root is its most valuable part. It is hard to be cultivated because it takes 6 years for a matured root to be grown under conditions where temperature does not exceed 75° F, with good air circulation, in humus-rich soil well drained with clean water. Korea's rich soil and cool climate are the best conditions for ginseng cultivation. Hence, korean ginseng is well-known for its taste, quality and efficacy.

There are three kinds of Korean Ginseng. The White Ginseng - which is being dried under the heat of the sun; Red Ginseng - which is processed by curing the white ginseng root with a mixture of herbs (which usually includes cinnamon and dates); and Soo Sam - which is the raw and undried ginseng.

For thousands of years, Orientals have been using ginseng as a herbal supplement, natural tonic and health food. Today, ginseng is widely demanded all over the world because its efficacy is being proven and rediscovered by modern scientific researches. Unlike synthetic food and drugs which can produce harmful side effects, ginseng relieves the stress and strain of life without any side effects and overdoses. As a herbal of extraordinary efficacy, Ginseng has succesfully maintained its supreme position over other herbal products.

Korean Ginseng, The Supreme Herb

Effects of Ginseng Described in Oriental Materia Medica

Korean Ginseng has been widely used as a miraculous herbal medicine, “The Elixir of Life” in China, Japan, and Korea for many centuries. Record of its efficacy and pharmacological use as well as prescriptions including Korean Ginseng appeared in early Chinese medical books, such as Shengnong Bengcao Jing and Shanghan Lun written about 2,000 years ago.
The Shanghan Lun (The Treatment of Typhoid) written by Zhangji during the Han Dynasty in China (ca. 200 A.D.) Is the first volume of Chinese materia medica and still is used as a textbook for Chinese medicine. Panax Ginseng was included in 21 of a total of 113 prescriptions described in Shanghan Lun. The remedies for which Panax Ginseng was described includes headaches, lack of strength, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, asthma, neurasthenia, and impotence. It was also recommended as a prophylactic agent against collapse caused by excessive perspiration, forgetfullness, dizziness, polyuria, uterine hemorrhage, tubercolosis, meningitis in children, blood and body fluid defficiencies and anorexia.
The Shengnong Bengcao Jing (Ancient Chinese Medical Textbooks, 3 Volumes) was written by Shengnong and Shengnong Bengcao Jing Jiju (A Simplified Version of Shengnong’s Ancient Chinese Medical Textbooks, 7 Volumes) was written by Tae Hong Jing during the Liang Dynasty of China (circa 500 A.D.) These books described in detail the pharmacological effects of Panax Ginseng as a “mild medicine”. Mild medicine is a tonic that invigorates the body and prolongs life. Long-term excessive intake produces no harmful effects on various internal disorders are described as follows:

Strengthens the viscera (internal organs of the body).
Functions as a tranquilizer.
Prevents neurasthenia.
Increases resistance to microbial infection and diseases.
Improves vision.
Improves mental work capacity.
Improve one’s general physical condition and prolongs life with long-term administration.

The Chingyueh Chuanshu (Treating Diseases by Normalizing the Body Temperature) is one of the representative medical books of the Ming Dynasty (1624 A.D.) Of China. In this book, Panax Ginseng is used mainly as a tonic to invigorate weak bodies, but rarely used as curative medicine although it is included as an ingredients in 509 of a total of 2,218 prescriptions (22.9%).
Oriental Medicine is classified into three groups by its efficacy: mild, moderate, and curative medicines. Mild medicine is a tonic that invigorates the body and prolongs life. Long-term excessive intake produces no harmful or habitual ill effects.
In 1958, I.I. Brekhamann and I.V. Dardymov jointly presented the “Adaptogen Theory.” The title of the thesis is “A New Substance of Plant Origin Which Increases Non-Specific Resistance.” Adaptogen is recognized as a substance which increases one’s stamina and general resistance to various diseases and non-specifically improves physical debility.
Pharmacological effects of Korean Ginseng in relation to adaptogenic properties are as follows:

Korean Ginseng produces no side effects at the level of tonic dosage.
Korean Ginseng non-specifically increases resistance to stress:
Physical stress: hypertension, exposure to extreme cold and exhaustion.
Chemical stress: various poisons, addictive drugs and hormones.
Biochemical stress: viral infection, foreign serum and heteroplastic transplantation.
Korean Ginseng normalizes body function:
Blood pressure
Blood sugar level in diabetes
Mental and physical work capacity.

Benefits of Ginseng Usage in Sports Athletics

Ginseng: A Natural Alternative to Anabolic Steroids

For thousands of years ginseng has been used in the east to clear the mind, improve memory, sharpen reflexes, tune and harmonize the body's organs, and to allow the mind and body to work together in perfect balance.
Ginseng root has now become popular amongst athletes as a means of increasing the body's natural abilities, and as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids.
Ginsenocides, the principal active component of ginseng, have been demonstrated to have an action similar to anabolic steroids, and ginseng contains some distinctly steroid-like compounds, including panaxtriol.
However, unlike steroids, ginseng is non-toxic. Thousands of years of regular use in traditional asian medicine have demonstrated that ginseng actually strengthens the body's organs and immune system, and its effects are only improved by long-term use.
Ginseng also acts as an antioxidant, and has been the focus of clinical experiments to aid in the reduction of certain types of cancers, including breast cancer.
Used by the Chinese to improve digestion, ginseng is known to aid in the efficient absorption of nutrients, a major consideration for athletes in obtaining the most benefits from a training diet.
Ginseng is safe to take, even for prolonged periods of time. Ginseng helps cushion against the effects of prolonged activity and fatigue, increases muscle efficiency, deepens energy reserves, extends stamina, and has marked benefits to the circulatory system.
It is generally not necessary to take more than a few grams of ginseng each day to achieve maximum results, and there are some indications that taking a lot of ginseng each day is no more beneficial than ingesting a few grams in the form of dried ginseng root or ginseng extract.

Effects of Ginseng on Diabetes Mellitus

Many people throughout the world suffer from diabetes which ranks third as the cause of death in the United States. Diabetes is a complex disease characterized by an elevated level of glucose in the blood and in the urine, glucose being excreted in the urine when the reabsorptive capacity of the kidney reaches its upper limit. Diabetic symptoms include excessive thirst and frequent urination because the excreted glucose accompanies water, thus the term diabetes mellitus means excessive excretion of sweet urine. Although the underlying causes are not yet clear, it is evident that a deficient production of the hormone secreted by the pancreatic b-cells, insulin, impairs glucose metabolism. The loss of glucose due to excessive excretion leads to a breakdown of lipids and proteins causing further complications which may lead to coma and death in acute cases.
The effects of Korean ginseng described in early Chinese medicinal texts include “quenching one’s thirst.” Probably the ailment associated with thirst must be the diabetes of today. The administration of ginseng to diabetic patients at the early stage of diabetic conditions returned to normal, and in case of patients in advanced stages, the blood glucose level was significantly lowered (Y. Yoshita et al., J.S. Jo and S.H. Park, H. Okuda et al.). When the patients were treated with both insulin and ginseng, the combined effects were certainly beneficial - insulin requirements were reduced, still effectively lowering the blood sugar level. Treating diabetic patients with ginseng does not only lower the blood glucose level. Ginseng appears to normalize the whole physiological system. Thus, subjective symptoms such as fatigue and decreased sexual desire were also alleviated. Active ginseng components which exhibit insulin-like effects include ginsenosides Rb2 and Re and mangan-containing compounds. In diabetic rats (streptozotocin-induced), the administration of ginsenosides Rb2 significantly lowered the blood glucose level and reduced the accumulation of serum triglyceride. Ginsenosides Rb2 also improved the nitrogen balance including both blood urea and hepatic urea nitrogen elevated due to diabetic conditions (M. Kimura et al., T. Ando et al., T. Yokozawa.).
Insulin as well as a good diet regimen supplemented with ginseng should help manage diabetes.

Staying Healthy

By: Florence Lee

Staying healthy is one of the utmost concerns of today’s busy population. In order to stay healthy, we exercise, we eat healthy food, and we go on diets. We all hope to stay healthy and maintain a productive life for as long as we are able. Why not.
Our body system is the most intricate system in the world. Furthermore, the most fascinating fact of all is that each one of us is the manager of this incredibly intricate physiological system. Our physiological system consists of such well-designed organs as the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and spleen which work concurrently with hormones, enzymes, neuro-networks, and more. Not a single unit is able to function independently since they are all interconnected. When one part becomes damaged, the effect is felt throughout the system, just as little cut on your finger disturbs your sleep and keeps you awake at night.
The physiological system is designed to function properly when the whole system is well-balanced, that is, when the homeostasis of the body system is maintained. What we call “vitality” is this well-balanced state of the system. Through dynamic equilibrium, the entire body system maintains an integrated system operating at optimum condition. A supply of nutrients and energy ensures the dynamic equilibrium which constantly “generates” and “breaks down” - the continuous processes of biogenesis and bioneogenesis. Once the system loses its dynamic equilibrium, a large number of physiological functions suffer, and the body falls into a diseased state.
In the past several decades with the increased development of synthetic drugs, Western medicine has mainly focused on curative medicine rather than preventive medicine. Curative medicines such as antibiotics and steroids treat thousands of diseases. Tuberculosis, leprosy, diphtheria, typhus, and small pox no longer threaten our society. Infant mortality rates have been significantly lowered, the average life span in major industrialized nations throughout the East and West is now over seventy years. Scientists are now mapping chromosomes and can identify the defective genes responsible for many hereditary diseases. The Nobel laureate James Watson once said, “I see an extraordinary potential for human betterment ahead of us. The time to act is now.” Even today, Watson’s words hold true. However, today’s medical sciences may be approaching their limit. An increasingly large number of people are suffering from such chronic diseases as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, arthritis; to mention just a few. We cannot solely rely on drugs and operations. Even worse are the skyrocketing health care expenses which we must pay for the benefits of modern medical care. We have already started practicing preventive medicine - eating, exercising regularly. We must prevent ourselves from falling into a diseased state which may require curative medicines.
In earlier times, preventive medicine was practiced in Europe along with herbal medicines. However, extracting the active components from plants led to the development of synthetic drugs in the early 19th century, and herbal drugs in their original forms have since faded out of American Drug stores. Synthetic drugs gained popularity. Chinese wisdom, however, has kept the knowledge of herbal medicine throughout the centuries since the time of Shen Nung (ca. 3500 B.C.). Why are herbal medicines mild and safe as opposed to synthetic drugs which are strong and toxic oftentimes? There is a great difference between the way active components of plants work in their purified forms and the way active components work in their crude forms in concert with non-active components. Non-active components which we may think unnecessary seem to play a role in safeguarding against side effects and a possible overdose of the active components.
Lao Tzu’s Taoism that formulates the principles of Chinese medicine emphasizes that health is maintained by properly balancing internal forces. An energy imbalance, whether caused by an excess or deficiency within the system, that is, within the internal organs, causes illness. Inner strength, Chi, the vitality, the essence of life, is maintained through dynamic equilibrium within the system. The availability of Chi determines the body’s resistance to stress, both physical and chemical in nature. When energy is exhausted and the dynamic equilibrium is upset, the complex physiological system is no longer able to cope with the changes. The integrity of the system is insulted and faces problems of a diseased state. Chinese medicine treats the sick first by restoring the patient’s inner strength, Chi, and then treating the disease. Western drugs cure certain diseases without the knowledge of the underlying cause of the disease.
Chinese medicinal prescriptions always consist of several herbs. Some of the herbs used in Chinese medicinal prescriptions are familiar to us. There are hundreds more, however, which are unfamiliar. Herbs used in resorting vitality are considered to be kingly medicines. Of the kingly herbs used in prescriptions, ginseng is the most highly valued one. From the time of Shen Nung, ginseng has been known as the king of herbs, the elixir of life. Ginseng appears to help maintain physiological balance and dynamic equilibrium, restoring vitality, the essence of life, when needed. This explains why many people risked their lives hunting for wild ginseng in deep forests, often encountering wild animals and why there are many legendary stories about ginseng.
The secret of staying healthy depends on our willingness to maintain vitality, Chi, within our physiological systems. It may sound quite strange to say that we all need stress in our life. Without stress, however, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. Fortunately, our body system has the potential to cope with a vast number of internal and external stresses. One may simply nurture the potential by taking ginseng and stay healthy.

Severe Pollution in Manila

According to report in Manila’s daily’s, we are breathing polluted air 300% above the acceptable level.
In recent years, due to problems arising from industrial wastes, cases of heavy metal poisoning have often been heard over the news and have led many ginseng research scientists to examine the effects of ginseng on the detoxification of ingested heavy metals. Some experimental results revealed that ginseng treatment increased the excretion of lead and mercury, thus reducing the accumulation of the metals in the system.
Another animal experiment revealed that ginseng exhibited beneficial effects on the detoxification of a carcinogenic compound, benzopyrene. Benzopyrene is a product of the incomplete combustion of gasoline and is also present in cigarette smoke as well as in charred food. Active intermediate metabolites or benzopyrene may bind with a genetic inforamtion carrier, DNA, and cause mutation which may develop cancer. In rats treated with ginseng, a selective induction of enzymes responsible for the detoxification of benzopyrene was observed, and thus the detoxification of benzopyrene was greater in ginseng-fed animals than that in control animals untreated with ginseng.

Testimony

IL HWA GINSENG EXTRACT REGAINS MY VITALITY

In the May 1990 issue of Il Hwa Health News, I wrote about my discomfort as a diabetic, namely, that I could not sleep well, that I had to go on a diet and that I often experienced feeling of hunger and frequent urinating during night time. After taking a spoonful of Il Hwa Extract twice a day for about six months, the discomfort vanished away. My blood sugar came into a normal range, and I felt much stronger.
Since then, I had increased my Il Hwa Ginseng Extract intake to a small measuring spoon three times daily. Aside from diabetes, I also had asthma for about thirty years and I had this serious attack from 1987 to 1989. I must share this with you, that since I took Il Hwa Ginseng Extract, I have not had any serious attack of asthma. Of course, I am still taking a very minimal maintenance daily but this is unlike before taking Il Hwa ginseng when I used to take a long list of medicines daily. I now enjoy my food. I practically never have to go on a diet except for high sugar foods. More than ever, I am also enjoying my sports, I now jog, walk regularly an hour a day and participate in a weekly bowling tournament. I am very sure Il Hwa Extract has significantly contributed to my regained vitality.

(Sgd.)Antonio Rosal

IL HWA GINSENG MAKES ME STRONGER

This is to share with you my wonderful experience with Il Hwa Ginseng. I began using Ginseng Extract before Christmas of 1989. I took this extract twice a day before breakfast and before sleeping. After a month of use, I noticed that I was more relaxed, slept well and felt much stronger. Now, my blood sugar ranges from 140-155 kg/dl which is about 5 to 20 units lower than that which my endocrinologist allows me to go. I am now relieved from frequent urinating at night and very seldom experienced the frequent feeling of hunger. I am now eating more food than before and I am now enjoying a 2-kilogram increase in my body weight.

Toxemia: How to Avoid It & Live Life the Healthy Way

by: Joel O. Natividad

In this era of fast-food kiosks, instant noodles, SMS, mobile banking, 24-hr convenience stores, everything is done quick and easy. There is comfort and convenience in every corner, yet within yourself the comfort and convenience is just too good to be true. You are annoyed of a burning sensation in your stomach. You have a tight and stuffy feeling there inside. You normally had to ignore it thinking it’s just a light pain and will dissipate then very very soon. But what if it won’t? Technology has provided us the comfort and convenience all around us. Unfortunately for us, we’re too busy enjoying all of these around us that we tend to forget we have also the responsibility of giving comfort and convenience to our physical body, at least, once in a while. Have you had think about the quick and easy way of maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Of course, there’s always the quick and easy way, and there’s also the hard way.
Toxemia usually starts simulating as heartburn or an acid indigestion. You would sometimes feel you’re having a slight heart attack. Symptoms for both are much the same, especially if they are accompanied by pains that spread to the chest, neck, shoulders and arms.
Mrs. Song Buk Hsu, a famous Il Hwa Ginseng Health Specialist in the USA, always remind her clients through this very familiar Bible verse, “The life of the flesh is indeed in the blood.” (Lev. 17:11) Health depends upon the circulation of pure blood.
The composition of the blood depends upon the food we eat--nothing else. If proper food is eaten, normal blood is generated. If the blood is normal, the liver, kidneys, heart and all organs function as they should. Under these ideal conditions disease is practically impossible. Il Hwa ginseng products are the only health product that can help in cleaning our blood system. Medical doctors always tell us that it takes some three months to effectively cleanse the bloodstream.
Ginseng, originally from Korea, is widely known as the root of life or the root of longevity. Their benefits have been recognized by many scientists worldwide. In Korea, ginseng is considered as a national treasure and Il Hwa has revolutionized the technology for storage and the standards of ginsenosides at its research institute. The precious ingredients include the highest percentage of Germanium. Dutch researcher Dr. Schuitemaker says "Germanium replenishes oxygen to oxygen-poor tissues, such as cancerous growths." Germanium in the plant is what aids the Immune system. Her Il Hwa ginseng has 4,189 ppm of germanium. This is FIVE TIMES the germanium in garlic, 10 times the germanium in Japanese ginseng and 84 times more than barley!
Based on this fact, we can understand why this ginseng is valuable as a cleansing agent for the blood--and thereby valuable for relieving stress to the organs and systems of the body. Some say ulcers clear up. For others, psoriasis or sinus problems will be affected. But, because of the lengthy circulatory system, you must take at least three cups of the concentrate daily.
Ginseng capsules are made from the ground roots and rootlets which are mostly cellulose fiber. Cellulose is indigestible. Capsules work, but you need to take a lot more and they take longer to break down.
It is easy to comprehend when you recognize the fact that illness stems from toxemia. And toxemia is why you have arthritis, bursitis, psoriasis and a myriad of other inflammations which of course, lead to pain, and more pain.

Ginseng for Modern World

Ginseng and Stress

Manila maybe the place for good employment opportunity, but certainly, it still doesn't free us up from stress.The high costs of a college education, steadily rising costs of medical care-all leave their marks on our national well-being, or lack thereof. The effects of stress on your health can be far-reaching. Some of the conditions often associated with stress include insomnia, high blood pressure, tension headaches, anxiety, depression, decreased mental function, and drug or alcohol abuse. Stress is known to cause changes in the body's chemistry, altering the balance of hormones in our systems in ways that can lower our resistance to disease. As a result, we can become more susceptible to flus, colds, and other types of illness. Too much stress sometimes brings on outbreaks of cold sores or genital herpes for people who carry these viruses in their systems. Other chronic diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis may also flare up during times of stress.

If it's possible to avoid situations that cause you to feel tense, unhappy, or worn down, that's obviously to your benefit. However, it isn't always possible to live a stress-free existence. Work deadlines, family demands, relationship problems, traffic jams, missed appointments, forgotten birthdays, personality conflicts, college exams — all of these things, and many more, can be sources of stress. Furthermore, though most of us associate stress with unpleasant events, even wonderful events in our lives, like weddings, vacations, and holidays, can be genuinely stressful.

Not everyone responds to these situations by getting "stressed out." There are those apparently unflappable folks whose pulse rate wouldn't even go up during an earthquake, and then there are those for whom being five minutes late constitutes reason for a state of total panic. How you manage the stress in your life can determine the impact it will have on you.

There are many different methods of dealing with stress. The basics for good health that we all know (but often forget) help in coping with stress: Eating a balanced diet and getting adequate rest help your body adapt and respond to the events in your life. Ironically, stress can interfere with your ability to take care of yourself in this way. When you're worrying so much you can't sleep, getting adequate rest becomes impossible. Stress can affect your eating habits too. So what else can you do? Exercise, meditation, and biofeedback are all widely accepted stress management tools that might help you break out of a stress-induced downward spiral.

For some people, stressful circumstances can trigger symptoms severe enough to warrant seeking medical attention. Conditions that are often associated with stress, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, are sometimes treated with sedatives, antipsychotic drugs, or antidepressants.

In addition, physicians and scientists are now realizing a clear relationship between stress and the appearance of such conditions as diabetes, hypoglycemia, backache, migraine headache, cancer, arthritis, asthma and a host of other allergies.

How Does Ginseng Help With Stress?

Ginseng has repeatedly been shown to protect the body against stress. A researcher at the Institute of Advanced Medical Training in Sofia, Bulgaria, Professor Petkov, has been occupied for some twenty years with elaborate experiments to access the effects of ginseng in the body. In one experiment, Professor Petkov subjected a group of mice to stress.

Those taking ginseng showed two basic improvements:

1) An increase in weight and function of the adrenal glands, together with less abnormalities of behavior and distress. Those taking ginseng were in fact more able to "absorb" stress.

2) There was an actual restriction of the long term stress response and its harmful effects. The body had increased its resistance. When ginseng was taken, they coped better with actual stress and the body actively settled back to normal more rapidly.

Ginseng extract is very soothing to stress related diseases because it is very soothing to the nervous system, without causing the drowsiness associated with narcotic type relaxants or tranquilizers. In conclusion, one might say that this ancient, time tested herb, ginseng, has a most useful modern application; to see us healthfully through this most stressful time in the history of mankind.

Drinking three cups of ginseng extract daily will relieve us from stress.

Preventative Maintenance - The Beauty & Brain Secret

Certain herbal products get quite a bit of press, mostly because of the hype that marketing companies build around them. And then there are those products which stand on their own two legs, they stand out because they do exactly what they are claimed to do, and the test of time provides the spring board for these product to continue on into the future. Ginseng is one that definitely stands out on its own. There are many types of Ginseng, but the ones that we primarily hear about are the Asian & Korean Panax ginsengs.
Ginseng root contains at least 29 active ingredients, some of these plant chemicals called ginsenosides. Of them, the Rb and Rg ginsenosides are perhaps the most significant. Rb-1 has a calming effect of the body (Yin qualities), helping it manage stress, while Rg-1 has a stimulating effect (Yang qualities), giving the body energy. The amounts and types of these phyto-chemicals that are found in Ginseng depend on the type of plant and its origin.
The pharmacokinetics (the chemical makeup) of eleutheroside B (another plant chemical) found in Siberian Ginseng shows that it accumulates in the pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreatic nuclei and spleen over time. This type and other types of ginseng contain contain lignans (sesamine, eleutheroside D [di-beta-D-glycoside of syringaresinol]), Polysaccharides (eleutherane A-G & eleutheroside C [ethyl-alpha-D-galactoside]), Triterpene saponins (eleutheroside I, K, L, and M), Steroid glycosides (eleutheroside A [glycoside of daucosterol]), Hydroxycoumarins (isofraxidin), Phenylacrylic acid derivatives (eleutheroside B [glycoside of syringin]), Minerals (Ca, P, K, Mg, Na, Al, Ba, Fe, Sr, B, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cr). All of the above have a significant impact on your over all total wellness. They have the ability to help maintain the function of the organs in the body that help to keep us healthy! That is why scientists have classified this herb as an adaptogen; it helps the body to 'adapt' to situations that would otherwise drain it of its strength and vitality.
Il Hwa Korean Ginseng products give the body the ability to deal with stress, and the associated physiological reactions that tend to make the body over compensate (adrenal burn out) and breakdown over time. What the body does is; in an 'alarming' situation is the adrenal glands release corticosteroids and adrenaline, which prepares the organism (the body) for the fight or flight reaction. When these hormones are depleted, the organism reaches an exhaustive phase. Ginseng in general delays the exhaustive phase and allows a more economical and efficient release of these hormones. Ginseng has also been shown to have a significant effect on the immune system, there by preventing the manifestation of certain types of genetic deformations that can occur in the breasts, oral cavity, stomach and skin.
So, to help us maintain 'the course' in our lives, we have to do a little preventative maintenance for ourselves. And taking Ginseng will help us maintain our health during the periods of our lives when we need it most. This product is a 'must have' in the arsenal to maintain health!

Ginseng Beats Coffee...

Caffeine (Coffee, Tea, Cola)	Ginseng (The Herb of Life)
1. Catabolic: Caffeine is catabolic. It builds energy in the body but at a heavy price. This is a destructive process that involves the breakdown of nutrients stored in the body. In the long run it can wear you out.	1. Anabolic: Ginseng is anabolic. It builds energy in the body at the same time increasing health and vitality. This is a constructive process which breaks down food into natural sugars which can easily be used by the body’s cells.
2. Nerves: Regular caffeine use can produce anxiety. The symptoms of many coffee drinkers are the same as those of people under continual stress. Irritability, agitation, nervousness, rapid breathing, trembling hands and muscle twitches can all be the result of too much coffee.	2. Anti-Stress: Regular Ginseng use has been found to help build a resistance to stress. Ginseng can help to relieve the typically overburdened adrenal glands and release the nervous system from tension.
3. Mental Dullness: Missing the morning cup of coffee can bring on the typical reaction of dullness and languor. Caffeine generally removes the awareness by draining nerve energy and causing a crashing energy lag.	3. Brighter Minds: Much hopeful research is demonstrating ginseng’s ability to stimulate mental clarity, accuracy and awareness. Results have been included fewer errors at work, better grades in school, and a general increase in optimism and activity.
4. Kidney Irritation: Why does your cup of coffee make you have to go to the bathroom? Prolonged use can agitate the kidneys and lead to kidney damage. Caffeine also contributes to the buildup of toxins in the blood.	4. Boon to Health: The natural benefit of many herbs, especially ginseng, is their ability to help cleanse the blood. The normal function of the kidneys is also to filter the blood. Because of air, water and food pollution, your kidneys can use all the help they can get.
5. Ulcers: Drinking coffee causes irritation to the stomach lining and can contribute by degrees to the destructive pain of gastric ulcers.	5. Healing Herb: Ginseng has been shown to aid in the healing process. Traditionally used as an aid to digestion, it can help restore broken body cells.
6. Heart Disease: Rising blood pressure, higher nervous tension, irregular heartbeat and the increase in the blood cholesterol all spell out serious trouble for your heart. All these are stimulated by the regular use of caffeine. One study showed a double incidence of coronary heart attacks among people drinking five coups of coffee a day.	6. Heart Help: Scientist have found that ginseng can both help lower blood pressure in people suffering from high blood pressure and increase it for those with low blood pressure. Using ginseng regularly can ease tension and the resulting strain on the heart. Your heart is bound to be happier for it.
7. Diabetes and Hypoglycemia: These are both serious and common diseases caused by an inability of the body’s natural mechanism to regulate sugar in the blood. Coffee can increase the level of blood sugar in diabetes and lower it in hypoglycemia. This is exactly what is unwanted and can invite a blood sugar crisis.	7. Sugar Control: Using ginseng has been found helpful for both diabetics and those suffering from hypoglycemia for its ability to help regulate sugar levels in the blood. Thus ginseng works to restore harmony and balance of good health.

Il Hwa Ginseng Effective for Diabetes

Many people are suffering from Diabetes Mellitus, a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. This disease is characterized by excess glucose (blood sugar) in the blood and the urine (hyperglycemia). Commonly this disease is treated by following a consistent dietary program and the giving of regular injections of insulin or one of the "hypoglycemic agents" oral insulin substitutes. Insulin is a hormone used to correct this imbalance of the blood sugar level in the body.
Pharmacological investigations at the C.A. Meyer Drug Research Center in West Germany in 1959 by Dr. W. Petkov indicated that regular use of ginseng prevented hyperglycemia. Research showed that ginseng enhanced the insulin effect on alloxan-induced hyperglycemia.
Also, research in Japan by Dr. M. Kimura and J. Suzuki, reported at the Symposium at Wakan Yaku in 1981 stated that DPG 3-2, a non-saponin component of Korean ginseng lowered the blood glucose level in patients by stimulating the release of insulin.
To study the effects of ginseng on diabetes, Jo et al administered ginseng to 32 diabetic patients (11 of them with mild symptoms and 21 of them with moderate symptoms) at a dose of 4.5 g/day for the first 4 weeks and 3 g/day for the following weeks.
The level of blood glucose and lipid content in 11 patients with slight disorders returned to normal; thirty percent of the 21 patients with moderate disorders showed a decrease in the body glucose level. In addition, improvement in subjective symptoms was observed.
Combined treatment with Insulin and ginseng reduced insulin requirement administration of ginseng alone also reduced the insulin requirement from 7:09.0 units to 3:0-4.0 units in 6 of the 11 subjects with light symptoms. Urine samples also revealed no abnormalities.
Several Il Hwa Ginseng customers over the years have confided to our health consultants their gratitude to our products effectiveness in treating their hyperglycemia. We at Il Hwa Health News do not advice our readers with diabetes to use our product in place of their prescribed medical treatment. However, Il Hwa Korean Ginseng is effective as a supplement and is even known as a natural stabilizer for mild cases of sugar imbalance and other similar health problems.
If you require a low-sugar diet then you should use Il Hwa Korean Ginseng Extract, 100% pure.

Testimony

I TRIED IT AND IT WORKS

Sometime in 1987, a lady representative of "Ginseng" products covering the supermarket in Merville, Paranaque approached me and introduced the so-called "Il Hwa Ginseng Extract." She explained the benefits of how the product can help the human body. Hearing some advantages, I thought of giving it a try and bought a bottle. The following morning, I started drinking "Il Hwa Ginseng Extract" before breakfast. After three weeks of religiously using the said product, I felt much better and had a stronger resistance. Now I can play sixteen (16) straight games of my favorite sport duckpin bowling without feeling any joint pains unlike before when I can only play eight (8) games at the most and getting tired too easily.

Ginseng for Modern World

Drink and Drive: A Ginseng-Up Story
by Edwin Caturan

Don’t drink when driving... Don’t drink when driving... Don’t drink when driving...

No matter how many times you've heard it, there are people who just don't get it. In fact, almost everyday, in TV and in newspapers, you can see and read drinking-and-driving related incidents. Almost everyday! Last year alone over one million people were injured in drinking-and-driving related traffic crashes.

Il Hwa Health News and I want to tell everyone, kids, parents and all licensed drivers why no one should drive a car, or ride in a car with someone who drinks before driving. It just doesn't make sense. Even to a dummy.
But I know one person who drinks and drives. Yup, he's changing the rule - this guy drinks before driving. And, mind you, he was driving non-stop from Manila to Baguio, at that.

Last July, Dr. Venus Agustin was on a business trip to Baguio City to visit the newly opened Herbal Health City, distributor of Il Hwa Korean Ginseng in the area. As sales consultant, I am obliged to be with the visit. Capas in Tarlac and Urdaneta in Pangasinan are known to have monstrous traffic in the daytime, so we agreed to travel on night time, which will be faster, less exhaustive, cool, and more relaxing.

dodong flores, master lensman and tech guy (yes, he is this good ol' webmaster and Sportwatch columnist), has the authority behind the wheel. Baguio City, by the way, is 250 kilometers from Manila via Marcos Highway, a little longer than Kennon Road, and a bit shorter than Naguilian Road. Anyhow, dodong flores, smart as always, decided to be going through Marcos Highway, as it is safer compared to Kennon Road. But the next question then, how safe is he going to drive? This man had been very busy criss-crossing Metro Manila roads during the daytime, and had not gotten much sleep for the last 24 hours. He knew at that point that he needed something to boost his energy. That's why before we departed, I stressed that we should drop by to a nearest 24-hour convenience store for a few bottles of energy drinks. But instead, he insisted of going back to our office to get a few bottles of Ginseng-Up. I was then puzzled why he preferred Ginseng-Up over other popularized energy drinks. Perhaps patronizing our own product is a good reason. But what is it in Ginseng-Up that is not found in other energy drinks?

Generally, energy drinks claim to have effects like, increasing physical performance, mental alertness, reducing stress, stimulates metabolism, enhance blood circulation, detoxify harmful substances, strengthens the heart and many more.
Most energy drinks, be in liquid or powder form usually composed of Taurine, Glucuronolactone, Caffeine, Vitamins, Carbohydrates and Inositol. Taurine is an amino acid believed to be good for the brain, heart and the central nervous system. Other claimed benefits include detoxification, as antioxidant, enhancing one’s mental and physical performance, and aiding fat and mineral absorption.

We can take energy drinks at all times especially when we feel tired or exhausted. Energy drinks can be taken by anyone who wishes to excel at a high level of routine performance and for a longer period of time. Energy drinks gained popularity to athletes who wanted to regain lost energy. Likewise, students who want to keep high level of concentration and study comfortably for longer hours take energy drinks as enhancer. Thus, making energy drink an all time favorite also to persons who stay out at night and want to feel fit for a longer time, like clubbers, drivers, and graveyard shifters.

Energy drinks become popular nowadays due to hectic schedule people use to have and a more exhaustive lives that go with the trend of 24-hour call centers. Especially if one’s schedule falls on a graveyard shift.

With energy levels continually waning, it is difficult to keep the momentum and ward-off the growing fatigue. As most people left no option on whether or not to accept these unholy schedules, it becomes a necessity to resort to something that gives temporary relief and boost one’s energy to go through each day. Thus, energy drinks become an increasingly popular choice for both health conscious and health clueless people.

Ginseng-Up is the first and the only ginseng-based energy drink throughout the world. To differentiate it from conventional energy drink, Ginseng-Up provides all the benefits offered by “New Age Wellness and Health” energy drink. Made from 100% all natural ingredients, Ginseng-Up is considered to be the safest among today’s energy drinks. Contrary to popular energy drinks, Ginseng-Up is non-alcoholic, non-addictive, and caffeine -free, because of these, it’s sparkling sophisticated taste appeals to everyone, aside from the assurance of zero side effects. Substantially lower in carbohydrates and sugar in comparison to regular soda, Ginseng-Up is therefore lower in calories while providing valuable nutrition. Consumers are looking for beverages that can replace traditional softdrinks laden with high levels of sugar and other artificical sweeteners such as aspartame and other sugar derivatives present to popular energy drinks.

The most potent and best quality ginseng in the world is found in Korea. Over a thousand years ago, Korean people were the first to cultivate ginseng as they realized its value and importance to health. Korea and other Far Eastern countries have used ginseng for centuries for medical purposes and to enhance general health and vitality.

Ginseng-Up’s core component is only ginseng and nothing else. For many years, in the Philippines and around the world, ginseng’s exceptional qualities and health benefits are widely known and accepted. There’s no risk at taking Ginseng-Up as compared to other energy drinks. It is therefore no doubt that Ginseng-Up would soon become the favorite of those busy people young and old alike. This rings true to dodong flores as Ginseng-Up becomes a thing he can’t live without especially when driving. That’s the reason why to him it’s best to drink when and while driving.

By the way, last October 25, dodong flores received an overseas call from Mr. Joey Bagaporo, a friend and elder brother in Christ, who made comment about my column in the previous issue. He was reading the online version of this Health News September issue and disliked my definition of Ginseng as a root. He stressed that Ginseng is a perennial plant and the root is just a part and the most important. He is correct in his assertion, and would like to clarify that my idea still parallels with his. It was only that I was referring to a harvested product, which is the root, and not the raw plant, when I coined that “Ginseng is a root that is being used in the Far East to combat weakness...” Thank you very much for your patronage and Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon po sa ating lahat!

by: Ryann Tupas

Il Hwa Ginseng-Up bearing the slogan “gising ka sa lakas” became one of the sponsors of the much talked about and loved Close-Up to Fame search which had its final night in Ultra on Sept 17, 2005. The event was the culmination of the search for the next face of close-up model whose selection ran for months before coming up with the final wannabes...

It was not an ordinary day for the production staff, performers, and guests alike of the event. Most of them were rushing here and there and looked haggard for days of preparation in order to come up with excellent production for the view of the millions of fans nationwide. To keep them going from that strenuous activity, Il Hwa Philippines supplied free Ginseng-Up drink to all the working staff, prompting Il Hwa Ginseng booth to be flanked with various celebrities enjoying the pleasure of taking ginseng as they unleashed the pressures and quenched their thirst.

Popular artists like Luke Mijares, Wency Cornejo, and the much adored star-in-a-million contenders were some of the admired personalities that savored the good taste of Ginseng-Up.

Il Hwa ginseng-up is a natural energy drink which recently gained popularity and worldwide acceptance. It delivers the true spirit and power of ginseng, and contains 18 nutrients including various vitamins, essential amino acids, honey as well as ginseng extract. Moreover, it does not contain preservatives, caffeine or artificial flavor like any other enery boosters.
To the organizers and celebrities of the event, that night became fantastic with spirit-filled performances and numbers so powerfully charged. After the finale most celebrities especially those who have taken ginseng-up expressed gestures of thanks to Il Hwa because of the energy they got from ginseng. They all appreciated ginseng-up because of the “kakaibang lakas” they had all throughout. From then on, they most become Ginseng-Up fanatics.

ANTI-CANCER SUBSTANCE; From Ginseng

By Kim Tae-gyu

Korean scientists have succeeded in producing a cancer-fighting agent from ginseng effective against a wide variety of cancers while posing little threat to the human body.

The IL HWA Central Research Institute recently announced it had extracted saponin from ginseng, a white cucumber-shaped perennial shrub of Korea, and converted it into a new substance, named IH-901, which kills cancer cells.

``Up to now saponin is believed to tackle cancer but the real secret was in IH-901, which is produced from saponin in the intestine. We have discovered a way to make IH-901 with microorganisms outside the human body,'' said Ilhwa researcher Sung Jong-hwan.

Sung added that a joint research team formed between local universities and private firms had found IH-901 to be about twice as powerful as current anti-cancer drugs.

The Seoul National University Cancer Research Institute also supported the benefits of IH-901, as recent tests of malignant tumors in the liver and stomach have shown the agent destroys cancer cells quickly with little affect on healthy cells and tissues.

Another merit of IH-901 is that it rarely triggers side-effects typical to cancer chemotherapy like hair loss, nausea and vomiting, mouth sores and loss of appetite.

"Medicine with IH-901 will provide epoch-making cancer treatments in the years to come since an intake of conventional anti-cancer drugs combined with IH-901 is also effective with minimal side-effects,'' Sung claimed.

He said the joint research team will jumpstart clinical tests as soon as it obtains a go-ahead from the government, possibly within the year, with the aim of commercially launching IH-901 medicines by 2007.

IL HWA has already registered patents in the United States, Canada and South Korea.

TESTIMONIALS

IL HWA GINSENG EXTRACT REGAINS MY VITALITY

In the May 1990 issue of Il Hwa Health News, I wrote about my discomfort as a diabetic, namely, that I could not sleep well, that I had to go on a diet and that I often experienced feeling of hunger and frequent urinating during night time. After taking a spoonful of Il Hwa Extract twice a day for about six months, the discomfort vanished away. My blood sugar came into a normal range, and I felt much stronger.

Since then, I had increased my Il Hwa Ginseng Extract intake to a small measuring spoon three times daily. Aside from diabetes, I also had asthma for about thirty years and I had this serious attack from 1987 to 1989. I must share this with you, that since I took Il Hwa Ginseng Extract, I have not had any serious attack of asthma. Of course, I am still taking a very minimal maintenance daily but this is unlike before taking Il Hwa ginseng when I used to take a long list of medicines daily. I now enjoy my food. I practically never have to go on a diet except for high sugar foods. More than ever, I am also enjoying my sports, I now jog, walk regularly an hour a day and participate in a weekly bowling tournament. I am very sure Il Hwa Extract has significantly contributed to my regained vitality.

Antonio Rosal

IL HWA GINSENG MAKES ME STRONGER

This is to share with you my wonderful experience with Il Hwa Ginseng. I began using Ginseng Extract before Christmas of 1989. I took this extract twice a day before breakfast and before sleeping. After a month of use, I noticed that I was more relaxed, slept well and felt much stronger. Now, my blood sugar ranges from 140-155 kg/dl which is about 5 to 20 units lower than that which my endocrinologist allows me to go. I am now relieved from frequent urinating at night and very seldom experienced the frequent feeling of hunger. I am now eating more food than before and I am now enjoying a 2-kilogram increase in my body weight.

GINSENG FOR MODERN WORLD

Ginseng and Exercise

by: Edwin Caturan

Nowadays, people are passionate to go to a gym to work out for fitness and health. Yes, people these days are hooked into this fitness fad including myself.
What benefits can we get out of it? To me, I work out for two good reasons: to stay healthy and stay in shape. As exercise is key factor to both, this means staying healthy goes with staying in shape. But, is staying in shape a sign of good health? It’s relatively yes and no.

Exercise is not enough
Believe it or not, this is certainly correct. You can avoid health-risk factors like smoking, drinking, and salty foods but you can't stay away from greenhouse gases that go with conurbation developments. Exercise itself is frivolous when you breathe nothing but filthy air. And this is where ginseng comes into play. When you take ginseng, all the wastes and bad elements that your body accumulated are detoxified, thus increasing oxygen supply to our body.
This claim is validated by the fact that I'm a ginseng user myself - not to mention being in the salesfront of the leading ginseng importer in the country, Il Hwa Philippines. I sell ginseng not just for the art of selling but also to share with people the good news and secret of staying healthy with Il Hwa Korean Ginseng. To further my claim I will expound more about Korean ginseng.

What is Ginseng?
Ginseng is a root that is being used in the Far East to combat weakness and provide extra energy. Early Native Americans used ginseng for stomach and breathing disorders and neck pain. Russian scientists claim stimulated physical and mental activity, improved endocrine activity and a helpful effect on the sex glands. It is used to enhance athletic performance and reduce fatigue by sparing glycogen (the form of sugar stored in the liver and muscle cells) by using fatty acids for energy. Ginseng is also a classic Chinese aphrodisiac and fertility herb. It helps reduce stress and bring energy. For women, ginseng helps to balance their menstrual cycle. For men, ginseng helps impotence issues.

by: Ryann P. Tupas

Today’s trend in working habit freaks us since we need to be active and be on guard to survive economically. With the current economic downturn, it is noticeable that most people engage in outsourcing by accepting additional jobs aside from permanent one.

Facts About Ginseng

Ginseng possesses the properties of invigorating physical power, regulating the conditions of the spleen and relaxing the stress on the heart.

Ginseng is the primary medicine to be administered for promoting vitality of the five viscera (liver, heart, lungs, kidney and spleen), and that it helps to restore composure, remove causes of illness to the five viscera, improve eyesight, accelerate learning, quiet nerves and promote longevity when consumed over a long period of time.

Ginseng is naturally white or off-white when harvested. The manner in which it is then dried determines the color. In ancient times, red ginseng was ginseng which had been dried in the sun.
In modern times, red ginseng is often steamed during processing, which has the similar effect of changing the color to red. In both cases, this is probably due to the caramelizing of sugars in the root. - dodong flores

Ginseng lessens caffeine's harmful effects

Generally, caffeine is considered as a powerful drug. It is likely that we are not just enjoying our daily cup - we are addicted to it. If we don't think we are addicted to caffeine, we’ll try giving it up. Caffeine is so much a part of our daily life we may forget it is a stimulant drug. Some are more susceptible but almost anyone will experience jitters from a high dose.

Regular caffeine use can produce anxiety. The symptoms of many coffee drinkers are the same as those under stress. Irritability, nervousness, trembling hands and muscle twitches all can be the result of too much coffee. Research demonstrates ginseng's ability to stimulate mental clarity, accuracy, and awareness. Results have included fewer errors at work, better grades in school, and a general increase in optimism and activity.

Drinking coffee irritates the stomach lining and can lead, by degrees, to the destructive pain of gastric ulcers. Ginseng has been shown to aid in the healing process. Traditionally used as an aid to digestion, it can help to restore broken body cells. People use caffeine to get energy, but it's only temporary. In the long run you lose. Suffering can only increase when you use caffeine drinks like coffee, tea, cola, caffeine pills, aspirins, stimulants, cold medicines and pain killers. Vital energy can be built by the regular use of ginseng, a pleasant drink. Its properties follow natural law. Your life and strength and health can only be improved when you switch to ginseng. It is the root of life. It was the founder of Prevention Magazine who said: "The life of any plant depends upon the soil in which it grows. Our soil...is the plant!

This quote from the adored nutritionist Bernard Jensen PhD, DC: "Coffee breaks are one of the poorest ideas we have in America . The energy boost we get...leaves the body depleted. Coffee is one of the greatest destroyers of 'friendly bacteria' in the large intestine...it contains no roughage...elimination must be taken care of through kidneys and liver--which overworks them over a period of years, and eventually can break them down entirely." (Food Healing for Man)

According to a report by the Ochsner Medical Institution, and published in the American Journal of Medicine (68-1982:348), you'll experience symptoms of caffeine withdrawal: irritability, headaches, fatigue and even depression--if you're addicted. If you're a regular 2-5 cups of coffee daily. you will find the aforementioned discomforts, should you try to stop at once. Like all drugs, it is wise that you gradually decrease your intake.

And if you think decaffeinated is better, Wall Street Journal reported a study that concluded: "Decaffeinated coffee drinkers (3-6 cups a day) experienced a rise in bad cholesterol ( Nov 14,89 :B4). Bad cholesterol (LDL) is the kind that causes 'fat' to stick to artery walls, thereby narrowing arteries. You know what that means.

Another study: "Assuming no underlying heart disease, the first step in treating ventricular arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) is to eliminate caffeinated coffee, tea, soft drinks and caffeine-containing medicine (Anacin, Excedrin, Midol) --Graedon's Best Medicine, p.87

Caffeine acts directly upon the central nervous system. It stimulates the release of stored sugar from the liver (which accounts for the 'lift' coffee, cola and chocolate give). But these benefits may be far outweighed by the side effects: Release of stored sugar...eventually incurs adrenal exhaustion, resulting in hypoglycemia ; daily intake adds up over a year, and a lot of caffeine accumulates in the body's fat tissue--and not easily eliminated. The late Dr. John Minton, professor of Surgery at Ohio State University and specialist in cancer oncology, found that excessive intake of methylxanthines (active chemicals in caffeine) could cause benign breast disease and prostate problems.

Decaffeinated coffee is not the best solution: Methylene chloride , used to remove caffeine, is characteristic of so many toxic insecticides. Regular tea is not the answer either, since that has nearly as much caffeine; but herb teas can be quite invigorating. Then too, famed nutrition-pharmacist Dr. Earl Mindell says: "Ginseng can give you a real lift, much like the one you get from caffeine, without the side effects."

Do you want to quit? Here's the answer: By adding a small amount of ginseng extract to a cup of coffee, gradually reducing the coffee and increasing the ginseng, you will be surprised to discover the desire for coffee slowly disappears. After only five days, a customer was elated when his current headaches disappeared, and without any withdrawal symptoms. Ginseng helps prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Ginseng: The Man-Root
No other herbs share such a high popularity accompanied by so many interesting myths and legends. Ginseng roots often resemble human figures, a feature that probably accounts for the word Ginseng that is derived from the Chinese meaning "man-root". The more human like the root is, the more valuable it is. The age of the root is an important factor in assuming the humanoid shape: thus, older roots are more valuable than younger ones, and older roots found in the wild are much more valuable than cultivated ones. Hunting wild Ginseng was and still is an extremely dangerous activity. The hunters used to encounter many wild animals and numerous bandits who preyed on them. Having worshipped the spirits of forests and mountains, professional ginseng hunters, however carried only a stick with them as weapon. Believing that only a man of pure heart could find ginseng plants, they performed rituals and took bath in the cold streams before climbing the high mountains. Once they found a plant, they performed another ritual, and then unearthed the root, sparing no pains to keep even the tiniest rootlets intact. They placed the root in a wooden box and descended the mountain pretending as if they have found nothing.		Often, however, even professional ginseng hunters returned home without a single Ginseng root despite their hardships. A legendary story relates that in the village of Shanghai, China, the howling voice of a man was heard by villageers, so they searched for the source of the sound. They dug a hole in the ground where the voice of the man was coming from and found a huge root, which resembled a human figure. The man-root is said to be a Celestial Spirit, which returns to the Spirit of the Universe after 300 years, the root comes out of the earth in form of the human figure. Although the creatures appears to be very human, its blood is white, and a few drops can restore life from the dead. Another story relates that the Ginseng plants glow in the dark. Thus, ginseng hunters used to go out at night, marking the location of the glowing plants with arrows. The following morning, they gathered ginseng plants from where the arrows stood. A plausible explanation for the light emitted by ginseng plants in the dark is that the lights were produced by lightning bugs attracted to the plant. Asian ginseng is often associated with its ability to restore life or its effect on sterility and impotence. Therefore, Asian ginseng is considered more valuable in the Orient than American ginseng, and among Asian ginseng, Korean ginseng is recognized as the best grade regardless of the shape or size of the root. In earlier times, Korean Ginseng was used as tribute to the Chinese Imperial Government. The root was packed in a cedar box and neatly decorated with multi-colored string and calligraphy. Even today, Chinese pay high prices for Korean Ginseng.

What Is In Il Hwa Ginseng?

Modern research studies around the world are investigating the effects of Ginseng. Ginseng is not a medicine or a drug. It is a natural food which contains more than thirty active ingredients working synergistically to produce ginseng's many health benefits.

This means that its power lies not in any one ingredients but in the working combination of its many constituents. Although ginseng is rich in germanium, calcium, magnesium, iron and B vitamins, the ingredients commonly thought to be most responsible for ginseng's adaptogenic properties are called ginsenosides (saponins). They are found in mature Korean Panax ginseng to a far larger degree than in other forms of ginseng.

You can see why IL HWA KOREAN PANAX GINSENG is so valuable as a cleansing agent for the blood and thereby relieving stress to the organs. For some people, ulcers will be cleared up; for others, psoriasis or sinus problems will be alleviated.

This is easy to comprehend when one knows the fact that illness stems from excess toxins. IL HWA KOREAN GINSENG of sufficient strength, taken over a period of time, will be very helpful in detoxifying you.

Testimonies of Satisfied Ginseng Users...

NEWLY-FOUND HEALTH THROUGH IL HWA GINSENG

I just had to write to you to let you know of the miracles that Il Hwa Ginseng had done for me. When I first met Il Hwa Ginseng products on August, three years ago, I was rather skeptical about the effectiveness of ginseng, aside from its prohibitive cost. Yet, the pain in my knees was so severe that I had to give it a try. Sure enough, while I was taking Il Hwa ginseng, the pain disappeared. But since it was so expensive, I would stop using it as soon as the pain is gone. Eventually, the pain would come back and I would buy again Il Hwa ginseng just enough to keep the pain under control.
Almost two years later, a bag of water materialized on my left elbow that I have to visit my doctor to have him drained it out with a needle, and prescribed me some pills to ease the pain. I was frightened that I might become crippled. I stopped at Il Hwa Store (in Harrison Plaza) on my way home from my doctor's clinic. I decided to buy a large quantity of Il Hwa Ginseng and gave it a good shot drinking those two or three times a day.
Sometime later, while using Il Hwa ginseng, the pain subsided and the bag of water diminished. Eight months later, I visited Il Hwa store again. However, there was no longer water in my elbow.
I used to have such weak knees that at times they buckled and I would fall. I remember calling my co-workers for help to get me on my feet again. While drinking Il Hwa ginseng extract, my knees weakness gradually disappeared. I began to forget my knee problem, and started to run and occasionally went dancing. Yet I didn't know how much my general health had improved. I was just glad that I was much better.

I would also like to share my sugar level condition before. I had a stubborn sugar problem since thirty years ago after I was discharged from the Air Force. I didn't exactly remember what my blood pressure was four years ago, but it was just very high. Six weeks ago, I went out for a physical check-up. My doctor said the sugar level in my blood is normal, and my blood pressure was 120/80. When I came out from my doctor's clinic, I was very happy and amazed. I can't thank Il Hwa Ginseng enough.
I still have a slight bit of arthritis in my arm but, with Il Hwa Ginseng, I know this will just eventually go away. I owe my newly found health from God and Il Hwa Ginseng. I hope more people will be experiencing an improved health that I presently enjoyed. I'll be more happy and proud if I can bring more people to start using Il Hwa Korean Ginseng products.

EFFECTS OF GINSENG TO MY DIABETES

In 1999 I visited my doctor for my periodic check up and it was found out that I have asthma. Since then, I was using a nebulizer every time I feel uncomfortable and experienced difficulty in breathing. My blood sugar also increased. Combined treatment with insulin and ginseng extract reduced insulin requirement. Administration of ginseng alone also reduced the insulin requirement from 7.09.0 units to 3.04.0 units. Urine samples also revealed no abnormalities.
I hope that Il Hwa products especially the Il Hwa extract remain here in our country so that many people can benefit the way I am benefited.
