There are many plants (medicinal herbs) that look similar to perilla leaves. Because they look similar, they taste and smell the same. One of them is ‘Soyeop (Perilla)’. Today, we will look at the efficacy of lobules.

Lobular is a variant of perilla in the genus Lamiaceae and perilla. There are perilla (P. frutescens) and lobules in perilla. There are also many types of lobules themselves. First of all, when you say soyeop (蘇葉), it is called perilla leaf (紫蘇葉, Perilla frutescens var. acuta), which is a purple sesame leaf. It is also commonly referred to as 紫蘇. It is a species called dog so-yeop in the market.

On the other hand, there are also wrinkled leaflets (Perilla frutescense var. crispa) with irregular wrinkles on the leaves. It is called chamsoyeop and is also eaten as a vegetable for ssam. The leaves are large and the edges are irregularly jagged. Perilla lobules (gae lobules) and wrinkle lobules (cham lobules) are medicinal. <본초강목>In it, ‘So (蘇) is perilla (紫蘇). It is everywhere, and it is good that both the front and back are purple.”

There is also Perilla frutescens for. viridis Makino. The front side of the leaf is blue, but the back side is purple. The leaf shape resembles perilla leaf, but only the back side is purple. The species that are both blue on the front and back are also called cleaning leaves, especially Japanese sesame leaves, so they are called ‘shiso’ in Japan. The leaves have no wrinkles and the edges are irregularly rugged.

The meaning of the name 蘇葉 <본초강목>It is said that ‘so (蘇) is called so because the nature of the cow (蘇) is spread out to operate the qi and harmonize the blood’. The character So (蘇) has the meaning of ‘to revive’ or ‘to rest’. Lobules can be interpreted as herbal leaves that revitalize and comfort the body.

The lobules are spicy in taste, warm in nature, and non-toxic. Soyeol belongs to the medicine for cavalry and pyobyeong. Lobules have been used for ailments related to energy and colds.

Lobular leaves lower the qi and release the accumulated energy. <본초강목>It was said to ‘lower the energy and cure all types of cold’. <동의보감>In the ‘Cure the window of the stomach (脹滿) and stop the gwakran (霍亂). He also said, ‘It lowers the dam of the chest. lobules It relieves stuffy stomach and chest. It is also good for getting rid of stagnation. When your heart is stuffy and your energy is reminded It goes very well with tangerine peel.

Lobules make you sweat in the cold. <본초강목>, it is said that ‘relaxes the skin to make sweat, dissipates wind cold, clears phlegm, and benefits the lungs’. Lobules are good for cold symptoms, and if you eat them when you want to get rid of a fever, you sweat and clear your fever.

Lobules are good for beriberi. <동의보감>In ‘Cure beriberi (脚气). Drink the water in which the leaves are decocted like tea. Also, grind 2 nyang of soyeop seeds, extract the juice, add non-glutinous rice, green onion, soy sauce, cheoncho, and ginger, and make porridge.’ It is good to use both lobules and lobules, which are the seeds of beriberi, together.

Beriberi is a disease of the lower extremities caused by a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Because lobules and elements are rich in vitamin B1, they are helpful for beriberi. The calcium and vitamin B1 content of lobules is superior to that of other vegetables. Lobules are rich in beta-carotene, which is good for eye health.

Lobules are also good for food poisoning. <본초강목>In the book, it is said that ‘Gwakran (霍亂, food poisoning) stops muscle spasms and opens the stomach to let food go down’. Usually, sesame leaves are known to prevent food poisoning, but lobules have similar effects as sesame leaves. If you put the slices in gimbap or soup, they smell good and don’t go bad easily.

Lobules dissolve fish poison, especially crab poison. <본초강목>It was said to ‘remove the poison of fish or crabs’. also <동의보감>‘The leaves can be eaten raw, and all kinds of fish[魚]or meat[肉]It’s good to boil soup with it,’ he said. Instead of lobules, you can drink the water boiled with the seeds, Soja (蘇子). In the past, lobules or lobules were decocted and eaten for indigestion, indigestion, abdominal pain, and hives that appeared following eating fish or crab.

Soyeob’s seed, Soja (蘇子) is also used as medicine. Soja is spicy in taste and warm in nature and has no poison. Its efficacy is similar to that of lobules, but its medicinal properties are stronger. <본초강목>In ‘The element has the same efficacy as the leaf. It is appropriate to use leaves to dissipate wind, and it is appropriate to use seeds to purify and communicate between the upper and lower parts.”

Lobules have various effects such as ▲activation of gastrointestinal function ▲prevention of dementia and strengthening of memory ▲anti-allergy ▲anti-inflammatory ▲antiperspirant fever ▲improvement of body fat ▲improvement of fish digestion (Photo = Clip Art Korea).

Soja is good for memory and hiccups. <본초강목>It is said that it is good for lowering the qi and lowering the upper qi and lowering the qi and cold. ‘When you hiccup, put water in the device and grind the juice, put non-glutinous rice in it and make porridge,’ he said. Haeyeok (咳逆) means hiccups. At this time, it also goes well with tangerine peel.

Soja is Get rid of the chill below the waist. <본초강목>‘Removes the cold and warms the inside. He said that it removed the cold air and the accumulated energy from the waist and legs due to dampness and wind. <동의보감>It is said to ‘treat numbness in the limbs, sore muscles and bones, and beriberi caused by wind, cold and damp’. element is common It is also helpful for joint and muscle diseases.

Soja is It is good for every nuclear period. <동의보감>It is said that it “stops coughing, moistens the heart and lungs, and clears the phlegm.” Hawking is a symptom in which a person feels as if something is stuck in the throat, cannot be swallowed even when swallowed, and cannot be spit out even following spitting out. In fact, there may be inflammation, and it is a symptom of sticking phlegm, but it may be a simple foreign body sensation. Among the representative prescriptions for treating maehaekgi, there is Sojaganggi-tang (蘇子降气湯). Here, Soja enters as a military medicine.

Lobular is a medicinal plant with high utilization. Flavonoids and triterpene compounds contained in leaflets It has been found to be effective in activating gastrointestinal function, preventing dementia and enhancing memory, anti-allergy, anti-inflammation, anti-perspiration, improving body fat, and improving digestion of fish. In addition, the fragrant substance called perylaldehyde of lobules shows antidepressant action. This ingredient is a common ingredient in plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family (sesame leaf, banga leaf, rosemary, etc.).

However, the lobules are not used for yin deficiency or blood deficiency. <본초정화>In , it was said that ‘because it is a purely quantitative pool, it cannot be administered to symptoms caused by yin deficiency in general.’ For example, it can be seen that it is not suitable for dryness such as dry mouth, sudden hot fever, and menopausal symptoms.

There is a saying that you see as much as you know. If you have been ignored until now because you did not know, you will never be able to pass by now that you know. If sesame leaves were food, soyeop (perilla) was medicine. Let’s use the lobules well in the future. You will get the efficacy that you have not been able to get from perilla leaves. From now on, soyeopdo is worth enjoying as a food like medicine.
