I had the opportunity to introduce traditional Japanese treatment using Konjac and loquat leaf to nourish and rejuvenate the kidney, releasing back pain to my Airbnb guests. I sometimes combine this therapy with my detox cooking class so that all the participants can rejuvenate inside and out. It is very easy to do, but very effective. You feel your body gets lighter after the treatment. Here are the items that you need to prepare. [1] 1-2 Konjac (you can buy at local Asian store) [2] Pot [3] Water [4] 2 towels [5] loquat leaves (if you don't have it, just go without it! It is still very effective to do) Direction: [1] Boil waters first and put Konjac in the Pot and simmer for 20 minutes. [2] Wrap Konjac in towels. Since Konjac is very hot, you might need a few towels to warp it up to avoid burning your skin. When you apply Konjac directly to your skin, you may not feel hot at first a few minutes, but it gradually becomes unbearably hot. It supposed to be very hot to make your skin slightly pink to bring out the best result, but you need to be careful not to burn your skin at the same time!) [3] Apply wrapped Konjac on the liver, kidney, or stagnated area and leave it for 20-30 minutes. (If you can get the loquat leaf, you can apply the leaf (smooth surface) directly on the skin beneath Konjac.) Please cover with a blanket over to keep the heat going. Since I had a stiff shoulder, I also treated myself. After the treatment, I see a darkened spot on the leaf. It is the sign of absorbing the toxin. I saw many leaves got darken spots after I gave the treatments in the past. Note:
1. It would be better to use this method while your stomach is empty. 2. Please go to the bathroom before. 3. You could use the same Konjac for a few times. But do not share it with others since Konjac can observe the toxins. After you use Konjac, you can keep it in a container with water in the refrigerator. "Loquat leaf therapy" was introduced by Jianzhen, a Chinese monk who was an expert in medicine helped establish Buddhism in Japan. He knew loquat's leaves have significant therapeutic benefits. It developed gradually as folk medicines among Japanese. We use as internal and external medicine such as congestion, cough, lung irritation, bruises, burns, skin disorders, and many more.Research shows that loquat leave extracts contain many antioxidants, and different extracts exhibit bioactivity capable of counteracting inflammation, diabetes, cancer, bacterial infection, aging, pain, allergy, and other health issues. What is Konjac as food? According to the Japanese Konjac Association, Konjac normalizes cholesterol, prevents high blood pressure. Since it consists of 50% water and 40% Glucomannan (dietary fiber), the body finds it hard to digest, thus sliding right through you and cleaning out your intestines all the while giving you the illusion that you are full. Glucomannan is an amazingly dense, high fiber substance that can expand to 200 times its size upon entering the digestive tract. It envelops calories, carbohydrates, and fats in fiber. Therefore, as these food particles pass through your digestive system, the body regards them as fiber, and flushes them out of your body, along with the toxins in the digestive tract. It’s no wonder the Japanese call it a “broom for the stomach.” Glucomannan also attracts water in the digestive system and becomes a gel, slowing digestive processes and trapping carbohydrates so it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Konjac is one of the miracle food for detoxification.
