We have brought in a new product called Ya Bai – 崖柏 - a specie of wood from the Chinese Cliff Cedar Tree also known as Biota Orientalis or Thuja Orientalis. Made from the roots of the trees, found mainly in Sichuan, China, they are available in bracelets of round and rectangular shaped beads, and charms. (price between S$6 to S$38). They have very pleasant and unusual smell – refreshing scent that rekindles alertness to a tired mind. Recently, one of our regular customers was so glad that the bracelet he bought from us helped clear a stubborn nose blockage which had troubled him for many years.
The Cliff Cedar aroma mainly contains isatis indigotica, terpene lactones, lemon terpene, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These terpene compound chemical ingredients is said to permeate our skin at the speed rate 100 times of water and 1000 times of salt water.
The other benefits include: -
• Increase immune proteins.
• Regulate and balance the respiratory and central nervous system
• Increase the body's resistance and promote overall healthy energy.
• It has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and anti-cancer property
• Lowers blood pressure,
• Drives away insects and purifies the environment.
When I first held the wood bracelet, i felt the highly refined vibration that ascended to my crown chakra before settling down to the solar plexus chakra. It is very spiritual and will serve as a good meditation aid. Wearing them to bed brings about peaceful sleep and vivid lucid dreams.
This is an unusual carving of the image of Zhong Kui, the Chinese legendary Ghost catcher, on a big piece of the root of the cliff cedar. It is displayed in the shop along with another cliff cedar carving of the famous Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai at our Pearls Center's outlet.
• Isatis indigotica : has antimicrobial, antiviral (1) (8) and immunostimulatory properties (6). Recent anecdotal reports indicate that isatis root can be used to ward off Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromes (SARS)(4). Adverse effects from consuming Isatis leaves include nausea and vomiting
ReplyDelete• Flavonoids: As well as being powerful antioxidants, flavonoids are the nutrients that provide the color of many fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids help to increase “good cholesterol” levels while helping to decrease plaque formation in your arteries. Flavonoids assist in decreasing damage to any of your cells that have the potential to lead to cancer. Excellent sources of flavonoids include berries, grapes, apples, green and black tea, soy, buckwheat, parsley, dark chocolate, celery and onions and red wine.
• Terpenes: If you are looking for more cancer fighting properties then choose these phytochemicals. They may diminish the growth of tumors while they help your body remove carcinogens. Terpenes can be found in lemons, grapefruit, oranges and their juices.
