The freshly picked leaves are cut into strips in the traditional tanzaku-giri (短冊きり) style for optimal brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKakinoha Herbal Tea is used in traditional Japanese medicine to help support a healthy inflammatory response and the immune system. Kaki leaves are high in natural antihistamines, fibre, vitamin C, amino acids and magnesium, as well as tannins, which help digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eImmune support\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin C in kakinoha helps with the production of white blood cells, which act as a protective shield against bacterial, viral and toxic elements, supporting your immunity. The antioxidant properties also contribute towards overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWeight management\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKakinoha tea is thought to help support weight management, due to the phenolic compounds and fibre in the leaves, which help the body to clear unnecessary fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFluid balance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetulinic acid, as found in kakinoha, can help support healthy fluid balance. Through its anti oedematous properties, this compound helps the body to clear excess fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSeasonal pollen response\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKakinoha tea is rich in astragalin and other anti allergic flavonoids, which can help moderate histamine release and support the body's response to pollen and inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHealthy digestion\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the fruit, the leaves are rich in fibre, which helps the digestion of food by stimulating peristaltic motion and supporting gastric and digestive juice secretion. The tannins in kakinoha also help rebalance the gut microbiota, so kakinoha tea can help support digestive comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHealthy blood pressure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavonoids found in kakinoha can lower the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme. Bioflavonoids such as rutin, along with the potassium found in kakinoha, act as vasodilating agents that help relax and widen the arteries so that blood flow remains smooth, helping to support healthy circulation and blood pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSkin tone and radiance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe antioxidant properties of kakinoha and its high levels of vitamin C also make it valuable for skin health. Vitamin C is often associated with fighting colds, yet it also supports the body's natural collagen supply, as well as bone density and general health. It also helps break down melanin, the natural pigmentation that develops in the skin from tanning or ageing, helping to support natural, glowing skin. In Japan, vitamin C is commonly taken through food, supplements, drinks, fruit and vegetables, and cosmetic products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps support balanced skin melanin levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps even skin tone and lighten dark spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports collagen production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan help soothe itchiness and support a healthy inflammatory response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan help support healthy fluid balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan help support immunity during the cold and flu season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan help support healthy blood pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the overall immune system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports metabolism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Wild Harvested Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoose leaf.
