Giant Detox Fruit and herbal Detoxification for Lymphatic Syndrome

People now are more aware of using the medicinal herbal as anti-cancer remedies and to cure and treat cancerous illnesses. Many of them started herb gardening by planting herbs at home backyard or in pot. The useful herbs could preserve for future usage, it brightens up your garden, not only to stay green also to keep in good health.

Cancer is scary illnesses, some maybe “scared to death” once diagnosed with cancer that including myself. Actually many cancer patients can be treated or cured in earlier stage, provided they think positively towards the healing process, but most of them, tends to "worries” more than “Curing”. This is not kidding, but that’s hard for dying cancer people to control the “negative” thoughts sometimes.

In my collection of medicinal healing herbs, today's post is something about this wild fruit....many years back, I used this “Giant wild Detox Fruit" that I bought from the medicinal herbs seller. I was first doubtful about this unknown name kind of wild fruit. As told by her, this is the locally planted wild fruit for lymph cleanses, and detoxifying fruit for skin diseases and lymphatic problem or tumor.

The name of this Giant Fruit is called “Wu Hua Guo” 无花果 in Chinese, but it is also known as “Giant Lo Han Guo” 大罗汉果 in Chinese name. Scientific name unknown....indigenous people name it as “Detox Fruit”. 

I can’t imagine why the name is given as the “Giant Lo Han Gou” 大罗汉果. As the normal size of the common "Lo Han Guo"罗汉果, Siraitia grosvenori or Momordica grosvenori  is 50 times smaller than this "Wild Detox fruit". According to my research, this wild fruit is an alternative traditional medicinal fruit as anticancer fruit for various ailments.

Just look at this comparison in size:

No doubt that’s quite a risky way to drink or eating any unknown wild fruit for natural healing. Some of the herbs may look quite similar, it is best to identify those anticancer herbs in advance, first is to seek further research for more information from the traditional herbal healing books, whether it is nontoxic or safe before consuming it.

Wild Detox Fruit ~ Wu Hua Guo 无花果

This Giant "wild detox fruit" ~ Wu Hua Guo 无花果 has the anticancer and antioxidant medicinal properties to treat various ailments such as malignant lymphoma, enlarge thyroid and goiter. It also help reduce swelling or enlarged glands or lymph nodes problem. Enlarged or swollen lymph node under the ear near the jaw joint may consider trying this detox fruit herbal soup. This miracle fruit can be used as laxative, antitussive, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. It is a natural expectorant for treating respiratory ailments like cough, bronchitis, long term coughing, dispelling phlegm, also alleviating shortness of breath. Its has anti-inflammatory effect to stop dysentery or frequent diarrhea, and stomachache. It is cooling herbal drinks and effectively treat skin eczema and boils, and heal wound naturally. That's how its name known as "Detox Fruit" in locally.

Cooking method: 

• Cooking the fruit of its fresh pulp as decoction is a natural expectorant.  
• Cooking the fresh pulp with red dates boiled with water as decoction is good for treating menstrual irregularities. 
• Use of its fresh leaves and bark together with its fresh pulp to cook with lean meat and Goji as herbal soup, which is good for treating hypertension, as it is high in mineral, thiamine and calcium and other useful nutrients to human health.

I was grateful through the recommendation from the native herbal seller. Previously this detox fruit is not easy to find, now it is much easier to get it. Still many people dare not take the risk to try it. As told by the seller, this is good detox fruit for my neck’s enlarged lymph node which is hardened due to lymph stagnation problem. I just can’t be bothered so much…and occasionally I will buy and cook it, and taking this wild fruit herbal soup in the prevention of having lymph gland swell and for lymph cleanse.

Detoxification in progress and reaction:

So far so good, from my first experience, after I drank this herbal soup, some reaction and feeling of uncomfortable…tingling sensation with some tendency of itching sensation, but very mild and it disappeared after a few frequent urination. This could be the detoxification in progress side effect I guess. But not to worry, it is depending on individual body condition and reactions. 

Detox is an important step to rid of toxins from the body especially to lymph problems, in keeping of health care to the recuperation condition through detox flushing and drainage. When uses of the holistic and alternative healing approach with herbal detoxifying method, during this detoxification process, the painful spot or illnesses may increases of pain, some may thought that the diseases is recurred or getting worsen, because of the painful experiences they may feeling fear and scared.


For the incurable illness or serious illness's person, during the detoxification in progress, or when the new cell regeneration, the definitely will may feel the intense pain inevitably. Especially when the human body cell is inflammation, during the swelling process this will oppresses the human body nerve system, and causes and feels the pain, usually when after given an injection with steroid or any drug anesthetizes to relief the pains, which will kills through numbness of the nerve, pain is released. This may causes the central cerebral unable transmitted to sensory nerve and traces the painful sense. Which also make the patient think that the illnesses or pain is already been convalesced. Actually the disease still existed, but it is temporarily helped in relief of pain. Meantime, pain killer causes the numbness, which because the body nerve is unable to transmit the neural senses to the cerebrum, therefore, many people because of the pain-killer function, they may think that disease is convalesced, but not.


Thus, the painful process in detoxification, many cannot tolerate with pain, that’s why some of the people eventually will give up using the alternative in recuperation method again. Do not surrender to the pain. By all mean, they must insist that do not give up halfway, this response decrement should be overcome.


The detoxification process helps to regeneration new cells and change for the better response to restoration of good health. As when the human body completed the cell regeneration work through the detoxification process, the ache will obviously reduce or vanishing, and the vigorous sickness will convalesce. As long as, everybody understands the detoxification process will help the body to heal and replenish by itself, which after the body cells is metabolism through the elimination process, once the energy is increased and strengthen the immunity system, the human body itself is the best immune booster.

Preparation for “Giant Wu Hua Guo” or Wild Detox Fruit Herbal Soup

It is not easy to cut open the hard shell. The skin of the fruit is hard like rock…You may need a hacksaw to open it. LOL....It really need a lot of strength to open it. 

• Inside the flesh of this fruit is spongy in texture, 
• white in color, and the outer layer of the flesh has a very thin layer of black color skin attached with. 
• To prepare, by lightly rinse to wash the flesh, remove the hard shell, 
• cut the spongy-flesh into smaller pieces. 
• Cook it with a big pot of water for about 3 hours.

At first, in the pot it appears with clean water and fruit, but after 20 minutes of cooking, it turns out with some bubbles on top. Within 30 minutes of cooking, the whole pot of water changed into black color water. 

 

It is amazing. This herbal soup has very nice aromatic smell like "Lo Han Gou", no wonder it is named as “Lo Han Guo”.The taste is slightly sour and natural sweet taste. This herbal soup is cooling; it helps to expel heat from the body. Alternative medicinal fruit detox for Edema syndrome such as Lymphoedema and thyroid problem.

Lymphatic System

Our body is made up about 70% of water. The fluid in the lymph vessels is called lymph. Lymph system is consisting of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymph capillaries, and ducts. It transports of water or clear fluid that’s know as Lymph.The important of the Lymphatic System and Drainage is actually as important in any other part of human organs especially in detoxification of toxins from our body.

When the lymphatic system of the human body is blocked or sluggish, this will cause the stagnation of poor circulation flow of fluid, and accumulated or overloaded with toxins, if an immune response or immune functions is in defending to against the infections, this stimulating can causes the painful and swell lymph nodes, when the lymph node is palpable, that is the sign of infection or disease. 


When the toxins is accumulated in the body tissue for too long, chronic swelling to the lymph nodes will also happen, the stagnation can cause harden or swelling lymph nodes, in long term it may cause Lymphoma, but not all swollen lymph is tumors or cancerous tissue. However, many swollen lymph nodes may not be Lymphoma, and it is just the infection of the lymph nodes, and that may be earlier stage of lymphoma if not treated. This is scary thought.  

The lymphatic system is human body's important defense system; the lymphatic system can make the white blood cell and the immune body, filters out the pathogen.

Many illnesses can be caused by poor lymph flow and stagnation. It can damaged and disturb the circulation flow and causes lymph nodes swell and water retention as well. More common, it cause the cellulite due to poor circulation of lymphatic flow.

The reason why I posted this wild Detox Fruit, this is as good as the blood purifier and detoxifying fruit. In alternative natural healing, they are many herbs and wild fruits alternatively can be used to treat the lymph diseases, and traditionally used for anticancer. This is from my personal experience, I found some of the local herbs and wild fruit has the great effect, which can really treat the lymph problem. Especially this wild "Detox fruit" has the alternative approach with radio-protective compounds, after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or positively interacts as post-cancer treatment which helps to reduce the ill-effect, its antioxidant compounds help to boost the immune system.

As the lymphatic system needs drainage to detoxify, and get rid of harmful substances to protect against toxins. Whereby the alternative healing ways of detoxifying the body can be done by fasting with juice detox, rebound exercises, Yoga breathing, skin dry brushing, and massage such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD). MLD is in form of gentle upward strokes technique massage to encourage the stimulating of the lymph flows into the lymph capillaries, using herbs tea flushing and so on. Intakes of kelp and seaweed may boost and enhances metabolism to the lymph glands.

This herb has a unique Chinese name for it. It is known as “Shi Shang Bo” 石上柏or Pian Bo 扁柏. Scientific name as Selaginella Doederleinii Hieron, common name Selaginella, from the family species of Selaginellaceae. It is a fern plant and looks like chicken claw.

Its nature is sweet, acrid, bitter and cold, its meridian channel to stomach, lungs and liver, and it can be used internally as alternative herbal drink to disperse dampness heat, commonly used to treat throat, nose, liver and jaundice type of illnesses. Externally used to stop bleed and wound healing purposes as known.

From what I had researched online, this medicinal plant is already widely used in China as in dried herb and in capsules form to cure various illnesses, and treating tumor and cancer. Most used in Malaysia for alleviate of nasal problem and treating nose cancer.


Function:

To clearing heat and detoxification, it’s an anticancer herb, to relieve lungs congestion and mainly with Antineoplastic action for treating Lung cancer, liver cancer, pharyngeal cancer, acute and chronic rhinitis, chronic tonsillitis or tonsil inflammation, oppressed breathing and copious phlegm, restraining hematischesis.

Doses and Usage:

Use of dried whole plant or raw herbs, the usage is to use the entire herb approximately 15~30 grams, it can be added with or without red jujube or red dates. Some preferred to cook with lean meat as culinary herbal soup or herbal broth. Added with lean meat is nourishes yin and help to boost blood. Especially to anti-tumor cases, continue drinking this herb drink for 1-2 times a day, and it has had its inhibitory action.

Ingredients:

Pian Po herbal – 20 grams

Honey Rock Sugar (Shi Feng Tang)

Red Dates (Optional)

Method:
· Clean and wash the herbs in runing water
· Boil water, add in herbs and red dates (optional) to cook for at least 2 hours. (for raw herb).

· Only to be taken for real damp-heat problem or when needed.

According to these symptoms like nasal congestion and sinusitis, chronic rhinitis in meridian system, to treat nasal problem, first is to strengthen the spleen and stomach, large intestine and lungs meridian. When stomach and spleen meridian is weakening, dysfunction of spleen meridian cause phlegm and mucus stored in lung. It affects the lung meridian. As the lung meridian and large intestine are in pair meridian. Its opening is to the nose. Coughing and nasal problem is the primary symptoms.

Spleen (Yin) and Stomach (Yang) meridian, these two meridian is in paired and correspond to the earth element, earth element is stillness, usually the nasal syndromes and asthmatic problem is due to phlegm-damp condition, phlegm damp-heat can obstructing the nasal passages, damp heat also can cause difficulty in urination and scanty urination, combining with the damp resolving food to disperse the dampness, is to eat pungent flavors, pungent foods normally are bitter, acrid and sharp in taste. Adding to your daily diet like Onion, garlic, ginger, peppermint, mustard , wasabi , pepper etc...to increase stimulation of circulation system, moving Qi, invigorating the blood and it will nourishes the lung, help in dispersing, cleanse and get rid of the dampness in the body.

What causes the dampness heat to the stomach and spleen? I notice to those who like to eat sweetening foods has more tendency to create damp-heat to the stomach. Likewise, eating too much of flour products like pasta, crackers and bread can cause stagnation and dampness to the spleen, and it will affect the transforming of fluids and food nutrients, this eventually creates more mucus and dampness to the stomach and spleen, this pathogenic factor will then lead to the formation of damp-heat, that’s how the mucus and phlegm heat is produced. And causes the nasal problem like sinusitis, irregular of menstruation cycle, and stomach bloating, other than that, irregular eating and too much of snacking also the main reason for that.

 

Alternative home remedies for nasal problem.

The simple way to relief the mucus and phlegm, sinus and reduce of cough with this home remedies, use of the raw onions slices soaking in apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. Onion is pungent food, simply taking it as raw salad regularly, as the onion and vinegar or apple cider vinegar has the anti-inflammation effect and powerful anti-bacterial properties, and help to thin the mucus and loosen the phlegm from the nasal cavities.

Ingredients:
1 onions
½ cup of white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)

Method:

1. Peel Onion and cut into thin slices

My curiosity and wondering this amazing stuff which has been circulated to help others, not intention for sale, even though we have not seen the genuine plant seeds of it, it comes in “wet form”.

Moreover, if this is not so difficult to make, to passing on the goodness of its benefits, now I have duplicating the information, making it into bottling to distributing it, more to circulate it to those who may need it.

Seriously, trying any alternative natural healing please consult your doctor first. Do not base on my personal experiment. For sure, there are many other testimonials about this “Tibet Xue Lian Hua” kefir grains 雪莲花乳酸菌 has been circulating, and also publication on the local newspaper here in Malaysia and other countries as well.

Detox our body and mind?

  

Is this picture spinning or still?

At first glance looking at this illusion just seems to move even though it is in fact completely still, the brain is trying to do that in this illusion; a visual illusion that they believe will help explain how human brains make sense of the world. It is tricks the brain plays anyway. 

To find out your ability to handle the stress, and your level of stress test by starring at the center picture, see whether it is still or moving slowly. If you see them moving fast then you need time to detox your mind and soul for stress relief.

When I stared at this picture it makes me think a lot. Life is just like this picture sometimes when we are actually moving on but it is still and stay put there without any improvement.

Detoxify allows the body and mind to become still, and within the stillness one is more likely to tune into the secrets of life of moving on, and connect with spirit. It is the same as the picture you seen on top, moving or still......
However, there are 4 circles in that picture, but if we concentrate our focus on one of the circle it will stand still and the rest is still moving. Try and focus it and it is interesting anyway. So as it applies to our life and things we seen and face it with focus and it keeps us going and moving on……


All the time I was doing the detoxification cleansing system by fasting for my body, through detoxification process about cleansing for better health, I always wondering sometime we ate unconsciously and we detoxified just for the purpose of better health. 

What is good about Detox? Detoxify restores and normalizes metabolic and nervous-system functions; speeding up the elimination of mucus and toxic wastes. Detoxify accelerates new cell and tissue re-generation and so on. But do we need to detox our soul too? 

Can we actually detoxify our body and soul? Somehow when we are tuning our rhythm of life like an orchestral listen carefully to the rhythm, our pulsations of each organ and our conscious awareness to each part of the body, slowly we released there are some missing note, there is a flowing of the life force through the field.


I came across some quantum touch and Reiki Massage by one master practitioner for spiritual healing and release illnesses. And to my curiosity of trying new technique in such advance scientific effect of natural healing process, use of physical touch to transfer healing energy through the healer directly into another person’s body. The energise power of soothing and release the tension, it really works well on me for a few trials in this kind of healing.


All that is easier said than done, you might feel. The energy healing works directly on the pathways between our emotions and our physical bodies, it results in our learning to meet our true needs, the process of detoxifying the aura and the body, detoxify will nourish your mind, body, and spirit bringing them both into blissful harmony.
