Powdered tea of herb Hypericum perforatum as effective, rational and cheap remedy for depression, with good taste, and in convenient package. The work was done at home, results research are easy to verify using the methods of modern analytical chemistry.
Powdered tea is developed based on the physical and chemical properties of active substances the herb Hypericum perforatum.
The main active ingredient of Hypericum perforatum is hypericin(illustration.), yellow-red dye which has eight cycles, six phenolic groups and two ketone groups. It is quite water soluble substance when it comes to small concentrations of hypericin. Hypericin as a dye reveals itself through color, it facilitates the work with hypericin.
If well dried herb Hypericum a good grind in a blender, then weed out the twigs, and again grind in a blender, you will get powdered tea. This tea gives entire color in boiled water. If the powdered tea to brew a second time, you will see almost pure water. Ordinary tea herb Hypericum perforatum gives color if it is to brew again four times. Thus, the powdered tea is the active drug. In four times more active, more thick and rich.
Also it is rich and tasty, if you add milk and sugar it is similar to black tea with milk.
This is a good option and for high-yielding varieties, this method avoids extraction and overloads, to use a raw material with virtually no loss of active substance. Simple, cheap, tasty and effective.
The powdered tea is easily filtered and can be packaged in filter bags for tea.
Powder as a method which allows to increase the extract content and properties is not new, he came from China to Japan together with Zen Buddhism, and founded the tea ceremony. In the case of the herb Hypericum perforatum powder method is much more effective because caffeine in contrast to hypericin is very soluble in water.
Judging by the lack of color in the second insistence on boiling water powdered tea, we can assume that powder method allows to obtain the active drug to bypass the extraction with organic solvents and pharmacological packaging. I also have extensive experience powdered tea and I feel him as a very active and a nice drink.
When you use high-quality varieties herbs Hypericum perforatum, 0.05% hypericin, effective amount of thepowdery tea can be two grams. That corresponds to the content one milligram of hypericin, is a daily dose of the drug. When using the median effective varieties of the herb Hypericum perforatum daily dose of approximately a few cups of tea.
To standardize the powdered tea is easy, since powdered tea not have losses during extraction and do not require supplements for extracts, and bioavailable, being a fresh solution of active substances. Sufficient to measure the percentage content of hypericin in the party powder and the content of hypericin in the teacup and to adjust the weight of the tea bag.
