INTRODUCTION TO FISH MINT
Fish mint, known in English as Fishwort or Houttuynia Cordata, is widely used in Vietnamese cuisine as an aromatic herb. Fish mint is a perennial herbaceous plant, scientifically known as Houttuynia Cordata, and it is commonly grown in East Asian regions such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and China.
Since ancient times, this plant has been used in traditional medicine and recorded in Ayurvedic medicine in India for purposes such as boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, lowering fever, and supporting respiratory health. Fish mint is rich in flavonoids (rutin, quercetin), polyphenols, alkaloids, glycosides, hyperin, limonene, calcium, magnesium, and lauric acid.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF FISH MINT
Fish mint is not only used to complement some dishes but also effectively treats various ailments. Here are some of the health benefits of fish mint:
Fish mint treats diabetes
A study conducted in 2014 on mice showed that drinking fish mint water continuously for 3 weeks significantly reduced the FPG (fasting plasma glucose) levels. Additionally, fish mint contains anti-diabetic components and can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Therefore, this vegetable is considered a potential remedy for diabetic patients.
Fish mint aids in weight control
Besides improving diabetes, what other effects does drinking fish mint water have? Many studies have shown that fish mint contains anti-obesity components. Therefore, consuming fish mint water or eating fish mint can help reduce excess body fat. In the long run, this method will effectively help you control your weight.
Fish mint enhances the immune system
Some studies have shown that consuming a lot of fish mint can boost the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells – essential cells that enhance natural immunity, keeping the body healthy. Researchers also believe that fish mint is one of the vegetables containing many natural compounds beneficial to health. Therefore, the effects of fish mint can be utilized to improve immunity for people of all ages.
