Sugina Equisetum arvense

Sugina is very famous medical herbs in Japan.  When you go to big pharmacy, there would be a corner of tea for health.  On the shelf, there would be many kinds of tea for health.  You certainly fine Sugina tea there.

We, Japanese drink Sugina tea especially for urine problems.  

I drink Sugina tea when I feel I became swollen.  When I drink 3 cup of tea a day, I pee a lot.  So I carefully take it.  When I go to travel or have a long time meeting, I don’t take this tea.  The reason why, you may guess.

Anyway Sugina is used not only healthy tea but as medical herbs.

As medical herbs, Sugina changes her name.  She is called Monkei. It has diuretic effects.

How to use  

Put 10g Monkei into 0.5l water.  Boil it till it becomes half quantity.  Drink it 3 times a day.
