Solomon's Seal Tea

 Koreans love herbal teas. We drink herbal teas more than regular teas. Especially since we are big fans of nuttiness, Solomon's seal tea is one of Korean's favorite tea. We have high quality clean golden dried Solomon's seal roots from Youngju, Gyungbouk, South Korea. Other than delicious nuttiness, Solomon's seal tea has many health benefits.

Expectorant

Solomon’s Seal tea helps to loosen mucus in the lungs, lessening congestion.

While it is particularly effective for a dry cough, Solomon’s Seal tea can be used to treat any type of cough, respiratory infection, or lung congestion.

 Anti-inflammatory

Solomon’s Seal is an excellent anti-inflammatory. It contains allantoin, which is important in the reduction of inflammation, such as that caused by arthritis. The tea can be useful in lessening the severity of gastrointestinal conditions, including ulceration, indigestion, heartburn, irritated or inflamed digestive tract, and diarrhea, all of which can be caused in part by inflammation.

 

Women’s Issues

Solomon’s Seal is also an excellent remedy for women’s issues. Regular use of the tea can help to ensure abundant reproductive secretions, heal inflamed vaginal tissue, and ease vaginal dryness (especially common for post-menopausal women). Solomon’s Seal is also “nourishing and building for women who wish to conceive, for new mothers, for women who feel overworked and stressed, and for women experiencing menstrual cramps or going through menopause or post-menopause.

 

Cardiovascular Regulation

Solomon’s Seal is known to have a mild regulating effect on the heart muscle because it contains small, safe amounts of the substance convallarin, a cardio glycoside. The National Institute of Health is currently researching Solomon’s Seal’s effectiveness in lowering high blood pressure. Herbalist Matthew Wood says it can be safely used as a mild heart tonic . If you are pregnant, have low blood pressure, or are on heart medication, it is not recommended that you use Solomon’s Seal without consulting your doctor.

 

Mild Diuretic & Detoxifier

There is no question that Solomon’s Seal Tea makes you pee more, though not excessively so. It promotes the formation of urine by the kidney and may aid in flushing the body of toxins and excess water, and breaking down fat. 

Brewing tip

Hot Infusion

Place 1/2 teaspoon of chopped root in an empty cup. After you boil your tea water, wait a minute before pouring it into your cup. Cover and steep for 7-10 minutes or longer. You can drink two or three cups a day, as needed, but you may find that one cup per day is enough. Never drink more than three cups in a day.

 

Cold Infusion

You will get even more benefit from the tea if you make a cold infusion. More of the soothing, demulcent (mucilaginous) qualities are drawn out of the herb when it soaks overnight. You can make a quart at a time, if you like. To make one quart, place 2 tsp of Solomon’s Seal Root in a clean quart jar (1/2 tsp per cup). Fill with water and allow to sit overnight at room temperature. It will be ready to drink the next morning. Re-warm as needed, but do not bring to a boil. Store in the refrigerator to keep fresh. Don’t make more tea than you can drink in a day or two.

The water immediately turns to bright golden color. 

The tea turns to dark amber color after overnight steeping.
