of Action: Sinamaldehid contained in cinnamon is known to increase the activity of the enzyme,
pyruvate kinase, in the liver and kidneys. Plays a role in increasing the release of insulin and
glucose uptake via the glucose transporter (GLUT4). Effects can lower blood sugar levels,
decrease absorption of glucose by inhibiting hepatic glucose to suppress the gene expression regulator
of hepatic gluconeogenesis. By repressing the expression of this gene, glucose-6phospat changes into
glucose, which can be inhibited so that the levels of glucose in the blood can be lowered.

salebin / Talibin (Myanmar), tortim (Cambodia), ph'ulaa (Laos), thaptim (Thailand),
and lu'u / thap lu'u (Vietnam). This plant originates from the region of Central Asia (Iran),
Afghanistan, and the Himalayan region. From there, it spread to the Mediterranean region,
and now it has spread throughout the tropics and subtropics.In general, a pomegranate tree planted in the yard
is useful as an ornamental, and the fruit can be eaten directly, having a sweet and sour taste.
In addition, the fruit can be extracted be used as a refreshing drink. Pomegranate nutritional
content per 100 g of fruit consists of water (78 g), protein (1.6 g), fat (0.1 g),
carbohydrates (14.5 g), and minerals (0,7g). Other analysis shows that there is an invert
sugar content (20%), glucose (5-10%), citric acid (0.5 to 3.5%) and vitamin C (14 mg / 100 g).
The yellow coloring agent on the skin of pomegranates contain galotanat acid. The highest content
of tannins found in the root bark (28%). The tree can reach a height of 5-18 m. Branches are thorny,
with small oval leaves, and flowering / fruiting at the twig-end.Benefits Of Pomegranate Fruit Crops Almost all parts of the plant yield health benefits,

in it help prevent clogging of the arteries by cholesterol, especially for those at high risk,
as well as helps regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and the ability to fight inflammation.

properties, involving studies on breast, prostate, lung, colon, and skin cancers.1.3. Rescuer kidneysResearch in Israel reported that the high content of antioxidant
polyphenols in pomegranate can prevent further complications for patients with renal failure, especially those
who are undergoing dialysis. In the study also found that patients with kidney disease who drank pomegranate juice

Find which products are traditionally used for which medical condition in the "Indications" section below.  As anyone who has visited Indonesia
can attest, village markets are awash with small shops that specialize
in Jamu herbal remedies. Despite the influx of modern pharmaceuticals,
the demand for Jamu never subsides, because -- according to the locals --
"our herbal products work . . ." [See pictorial below. ]
 hroughout the ancient, pre-industrial
world, each indigenous culture has developed herbal traditions that conform
to the botanical, climactic, social, and religious environment in which they
have developed.Years ago, we dealt extensively with
ayurvedic medicine and time-tested
formulas that arose from Vedic tradition -- extensively used and revered to
this day throughout India. We did this until sourcing became a problem
and most of the formulas we worked with entered into the list of
our historicals.Here -- in early 2016 -- we are
adopting a complete line of Jamu products that draw from an herbal tradition
in Indonesia and Malaysia that has stood the test of time for centuries.
But discussing the specific herbals, it would be good to review the
essence of Jamu ... 
This history of Jamu goes back to
ancient traditions in Java,
where it is most prevalent. It recent times it is formally recognized as having
originated with the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom of
Medang, roughly
1,300 years ago. One classic Jamu-related work from the time of the
Majapahit Empire
contains 3,000 entries of Jamu recipes. More recently, the twelve-volume Javanese
classic,
Serat Centhini (1814),
provides a wide variety of Jamu references in its many narratives.Though Jamu has been influenced by
Ayurvedic medicine,
from India, it consists of unique, time-tested formulas that are unique to
Indonesian culture, botanical biomes, and availability of natural materials
in the region in which the art has flowered.Also, unique to Jamu is its proliferation to many
unique sub-cultures . . . because the herbal tradition did not remain localized.
From Java, the Jamu tradition spread throughout the
Indonesian archipelago,
the largest in the world, comprising
more than 17,000 islands.Although it took years for the Indonesian government to put
safeguards in place to ensure the quality and efficacy of Jamu remedies, since October, 2007,
the Indonesian Ministry of Health (National Institutes of Health Research and Development)
established
the "Hortus Medicus" in Tawangmangu "to prove that Jamu is safe and can be used as an alternative
in seeking treatment options (at) the community (level)." Since that time, Indonesians
have statistically chosen Jamu as an alternative medicine rather than complementary medicine --
(see chart in link above).Jamu in the Indonesian
Market: A Brief Pictorial 
In small shops all over Indonesia,
Jamu remedies can be found to meet the health care demands of ordinary people.
Instead of having an adversarial relationship with the government, Jamu
manufacturers work with the government to provide safeguards so that
confidence in natural remedies is not put in jeopardy.
Herbal shops frequently
show prominent advertising. Not only is the product shown, along
with occasional promotional specials, but the function of the product
and what it treats is displayed, as well. This is completely illegal
in the U.S. and most Western countries.
Just as pharmaceuticals are sold
in Western countries in stores that also carry sundries, the same holds
true in Indonesia. The exception is that in most areas of Indonesia
the Jamu product far outweigh the presence of patent, orthodox
medicine.
Even the smallest of shops
will carry a dizzying array of Jamu herbal products, and most are
