羅漢果
从朋友的forward mail 得知羅漢果的功能,想跟大家分享。
羅漢Grosvener Momordica fruit是葫蘆科多年草蔓性植物,學名為 Momordicae Grosvenori Swingla,在中國大陸亦稱光果木髓。羅漢果是球形,直徑四至六公分﹝一吋半至二吋半﹞,生的羅漢果為深綠色,帶有光澤,但不可生吃。加工烘曬乾燥後,羅漢果外皮乾燥呈黑色,有胎毛覆蓋。內部褐色種子濕潤,是發揮藥效的最佳狀態。
羅漢果對抑制喉痛,聲啞及咳嗽的藥效最為人所熟識。羅漢果對因游離基氧化而引起疾病如高血壓、糖尿病、胃病、便秘、肚潟、炎症、哮喘、敏感症等等,都有一定的舒緩療效。
羅漢果亦能減慢因氧化而老化的情況,防止未老先衰而逕生的臟腑衰竭現象。因老化而引起身體機能失調的病症,包括因血管運作失常,動脈硬化而導致的心臟病、腦中風和老人痴呆等病變。對於隨年齡增長而出現的老人斑、白髲及脫髲、白內障等現象亦有一定幫助。
羅漢果茶的製法﹝使用乾燥果實﹞取羅漢果一個壓碎外皮,將種子分開;在煲中放入二公升水,放下壓碎的羅漢果一個;用中火煲二十分鐘﹝以水滾後計算﹞,關火後,放置十分鐘;
完成後可以直接熱飲,或過濾後放入冰箱冷藏,可保存一個月。在冰箱取出的可以用熱水稀釋濃度當淡茶來喝。
註:要揀靚羅漢果,首先最好將羅漢果輕力由距離檯面一、二吋的地方放下,如果像「乒乓球」般的會「彈起」,証明不是「空心」,亦即是上品。又或在耳邊輕輕搖,搖得響便是不好的。
