Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention is made by processing medicinal herbs as the main raw material, and making a tea that activates kidney function when infused and drinking, and a tea that activates kidney function by pouring hot water into it to infuse it. This invention relates to a drinking tea for activating kidney function which is used as drinking water.

``Prior art'' Traditionally, there are fermented teas such as black tea, semi-fermented teas such as oolong tea, and non-fermented teas such as green tea, and they are mainly produced in Asia, but most of them are not produced in Japan. However, the main types of green tea include matcha, gyokuro, sencha, and bancha. However, in the past, these teas were mainly used as a luxury item to enjoy the bitter taste of caffeine, the astringent taste of tannins, the sweetness of theanine, and the unique flavor containing amino acids, sugars, etc. For this reason, tea is
At present, importance is placed on whether the flavor is good or bad, and less importance is placed on the medicinal effects of the ingredients. is sold as a hub group, but few people drink it for its medicinal effects such as laxative, diuretic, and intestinal regulating effects, and more importantly, it is produced when it grows. It is often drunk for its aromatic taste and the fact that it has a coffee-like color when made into tea.In other words, during and after the war when coffee was in short supply, it was popularly drunk as a substitute for coffee, but now it is drunk as a substitute for coffee. Due to the abundance of coffee, it is not widely drunk.

In contrast, oolong tea has recently become popular. This is because the Chinese boom triggered the trend, and the Japanese diet has changed to favor dishes that use oil, such as meat dishes, fried foods, and Chinese cuisine. Since obesity has become a social problem, it is thought that the smooth flavor and ability to reduce fat content meet the needs of society.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' The inventor believes that in this age of gluttony, people's needs for food will polarize into gourmet-oriented and health-oriented. In fact, as part of the latter health-conscious phenomenon, there is a health food boom and a natural food boom, but at present the concept is unclear, and the effects that are good for the body are not very clear. We are entering an era in which people are paying attention to the effects that the ingredients contained in such foods have on the body, and foods whose effects can be confirmed more scientifically and objectively will be recognized and popularized as functional foods. considered to be a thing. From this idea,
The tea and beverage for activating renal function according to the present invention was created by reexamining the beverage food called tea, focusing on medicinal herbs whose ingredients and medicinal effects are clear, and researching and developing new tea with new functionality. It is tea.

Therefore, it is a herbal medicine whose effectiveness as a diuretic for hepatitis, edema, etc. has been recognized relatively recently.

As mentioned above, the present inventor has found that the medicinal ingredients can be easily dissolved in a short time by pouring hot water and brewing tea from among the thousands of kinds of raw materials recognized as medicinal herbs. We selected three raw materials that are safe, have no side effects, and have renal function activation effects such as diuresis, stone removal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects, and then shred and dry these selected raw materials. Using traditional tea utensils,
By processing the tea into a form that can be handled in the same way as regular tea, and mixing these three ingredients appropriately, we create a tea for activating kidney function that has a well-balanced performance suitable for supporting, treating, and activating kidney function. completed.

Next, the invention of claim 2 is a solution-like beverage tea for activating renal function obtained by brewing based on an example of a range that exhibits particularly good functionality among the teas for activating renal function. It is. still,
In order to improve the ease of drinking as a beverage tea product, it is of course possible to add an appropriate flavor or flavor adjuster to the water sencha as necessary.

That is, in 200 ml to 400 ml of water, add 30 g to 30 g of the above-ground part of the plant Byoshusou cut into nodes and dried in the sun, 15 g to 30 g of the root or whole plant of the plant Metoheggi cut into sections and dried in the sun, and the plant. This tea is a drink for activating kidney function, which is prepared by mixing 9 g to 15 g of dried catalpa fruit and brewing the resulting solution, adding appropriate flavor and flavor adjusting agents as needed.

The invention of claim 3 is based on the basic invention of claim 1, which is a mixture of three selected raw materials for activating kidney function, and further includes roasted seeds of the plant Ebisugusa and seeds of the plant Coix barley. By adding two types of raw materials, threshed and refined, and mixing them together, the kidney function activation potency is further strengthened, and the flavor is also significantly improved.

In other words, 9% to 10% (by weight) of the above-ground part of the plant Phyllanthus cut into nodes and dried in the sun, and 6% to 7% (by weight) of the root or whole plant of the plant Medhagi cut into sections and dried in the sun. and 3% to 4% of dried fruits of the plant Catalpa (
Weight ratio) and roasted seeds of the plant Ebisugusa 55

Page order Yellow florets open, and long-shaped fruits ripen in autumn. The fruits are cylindrical and have many flat, kidney-shaped seeds inside, which are greenish-brown and lack luster. In autumn. , when the beautiful fruits ripen black and the leaves fall off, pull out all the roots and spread them on the ground to dry, then pound the beautiful fruits to remove the seeds, sieve them, and dry them thoroughly in the sun. It has a half-sized rectangular hexagonal shape and is called hexagonal grass or kimeiko. The seeds are
It has laxative and diuretic effects, regulates the stomach and intestines, and has tonic effects. When the seeds are sprouted, they lose their fishy odor and have a savory taste, and when made into tea, they have a coffee-colored color. Traditionally, leaf tea shops have sold the ground seeds of Ebisugusa as habu base. The good thing about this hub group is that even if you take a little too much of it, you won't become addicted or have any side effects. Therefore, the roasted seeds of Ebisugusa are optimal as a raw material for enhancing the flavor and enhancing the efficacy of kidney function-activating tea.

Coix barley, the fifth raw material, is an annual plant belonging to the Poaceae family, and its stem is 1 m to 1.5 m in height, and its leaves are needle-shaped, elongated and pointed, and are alternate. Page order, flower spikes open, male flowers are on top of the leaf sheath, female flowers are hidden inside, and when the fruit ripens, the sepal becomes a brown oval shape. In autumn, when the fruits are ripe,
After cutting, spreading on the ground and drying for 2 to 3 days, the pericarp is threshed. After threshing, dry well and polish.

The resulting seed opening is oblong and about the size of an azuki bean, with a pale yellowish-white exterior and white interior, and is sticky like sticky rice when chewed. This seeds not only have the effects of pain relief, anti-spasmodic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, purulent drainage, and laxative effects, but also contain more fruit fat and protein than rice, which is good for nourishing and tonic properties, and also contains anti-tumor substances such as coicuturide. I'm here. Therefore, it is used for moist pleuritis, arthritis, rheumatism, asthma, swelling due to pregnant kidneys, and for skin beauty. When this is slightly roasted, it develops a savory flavor, which is good for drinking as a tea substitute. Therefore, the roasted seeds of Ebisugusa are suitable as a raw material for enhancing the efficacy and flavor of renal function-activating tea.

As mentioned above, among the 5 ingredients constituting the renal function-activating cooked tea, the main role of the above 3 ingredients is to activate the kidney function, and the main role of the 2 additional ingredients is to improve the flavor of the tea. Also,
The mixing ratio of each raw material was specified in order to achieve a balance between the palatability of the tea and the renal function activating efficacy, and to provide a renal function activating chook tea with a higher degree of perfection as a product.

The invention according to claim 4 is a solution-like beverage tea for activating renal function obtained by brewing the tea for activating renal function produced according to claim 3 above.

That is, this invention uses 9% to 10% (by weight) of the above-ground part of the plant Phyllanthus cut into nodes and dried in the sun, and 6% to 10% (weight ratio) of the roots or whole plants of the plant Medhagi cut into sections and dried in the sun.
