Product detailed description
Perilla frutescens is an annual plant growing up to one meter tall. Its homeland is China, where it is part of traditional medicine and cuisine - there it is known under the name ZI SU YE. It is most often found in sunny locations at altitudes of around 1,200 m above sea level. It belongs to the family of the asteraceae, and its body structure is comparable to nettles or lemon balm. Its leaves are deep green, sometimes purple, and the stem is square.
Its scent is vaguely reminiscent of citronella grass. It can also be used in the kitchen to flavor dishes, e.g. where coriander is used.
The collected part for phytotherapeutic purposes is the leaf, which is used internally in the form of a decoction. Perilla bush contributes to maintaining normal respiratory system functions and has an effect on the production of cytokines and specific antibodies.
The provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council, on nutrition and health claims, do not allow us to inform you about other positive effects of this plant on your body.
