[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

Okay so, our two cups of water is almost boiling. I’m going to add a heaping half teaspoon ground turmeric to that and stir it around and cover and reduce the heat to a simmer, and we’ll just let that simmer for 10 minutes.

Okay, I like turmeric tea plain, unsweetened and I like it cold, very refreshing in the summer. You can add ginger to it if you want, its fine adding other spices to it but it’s got a pretty distinctive taste,
I like it as it is. So I’m going to turn off the heat and it might be best to let this settle for a bit because you don’t want the residue, but I’m going to use the following tea strainer here and I’m just going to pour this, and if you find that the strength of it is too strong for you, you can just dilute it with water. That’s good, that’s filtering out all the residue. Let me get a spoon.

And that’s turmeric tea!
