Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region. It has been used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and is considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts by taking it in a prolonged period of time. There was report that reports chaste tree berry stems and leaves used by women as bedding "to cool the heat of lust" during the time of the Thesmophoria,

Chemical constituents

Melon lime smoothie For Melon lovers


Recipe contributed by Raw, Quick and delicious! 5 ingredient recipes in just 15 minutes by Douglas McNish, Published by Robert Rose. You can visit them at www.robertrose.ca

Juicy melon, fresh lime juice and tropical coconut oil make this a sweet, refreshing --and nutritious - smoothie for warm summer days.
Tips;
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. It has a melting temperature of 76 degree F (24 degree C), so it is easy to liquefy. To melt it, place in a shallow glass bowl over a pot od simmering water.
To boost the protein content of your smoothie, try adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder -- I prefer hemp or sprouted brown rice protein. Both are available in natural foods store and well-stocked supermarket. Not all are raw, though, so be sure to read the labels.
1 cup Nut milk  250mL
1/2 cup chopped honeydew 125mL
3tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice  45mL
2tbsp. melted coconut oil 30mL
1/4tsp. raw vanilla extract
In a blender combine nut milk, melon, lime juice, coconut oil and vanilla. Blend at high speed until smooth. Serve immediately. Make 2 cups (500mL)
Variation: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie. add 1 to 2 tbsp. (15 - 30mL) raw agave nectar to taste.
Substitute an equal amount of cantaloupe for the honeydew melon and 1tbsp. (15mL)coconut butter for coconut oil.

Chickweed (Stellaria media (Linn.) Villars) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine over 200 years, mainly for the treatment of dermatitis and other skin diseases. In the study to evaluated the  anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV),  using the human HBV-transfected liver cell line HepG2.2.15, researched at the Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Chinese Medicine indicated that the herbal  30 μg/mL SM-3 effectively suppressed the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg after 6 days of treatment,  Consistent with the reduction in HBV antigens, SM-3 also reduced the level of HBV DNA in a dose-dependent manner(3). In support of the result, the 1Siberian State Medical University, indicated a hepaprotective effect of the herb water-soluble polysaccharide fraction at a dose of 100 mg/kg(4).

Drink this sweet smoothie first thing in the morning. the fiber in the melon will keep you feeling full until lunch hours.
Tips:
To ripen bananas quickly, place them in a paper bag with an uncut apple and tightly fold over the end of the bag. The apple will emit ethylene gas, which helps to speed ripening. Place the bag in a warm, dry area until the bananas are ripe.
To boost the protein content of your smoothie, try adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder -- I prefer hemp or sprouted brown rice protein. Both are available in natural foods store and well-stocked supermarket. Not all are raw, though, so be sure to read the labels.
