3. More legends are connected to the discovery of coffee. One of them is the myth of Kaldi and his dancing goats. The stimulating effect of coffee has been discovered by Kaldi, the goat herder in Abyssinia according to the story. The herd was grazing and nib- bling on a strange bush with red ber- ries and leaves, and consequently they stayed vivid throughout the evening, whereas other times they had been calm and peaceful. Next day Kaldi tasted the strange red berries him- self, and discovered the stimulant ef- fect of coffee beans. For he was fear- ful of the origin of this freshness he experienced, and feared it was from the Devil, he visited a holy person in his home village and asked his opinion on the berries.The holy person threw the berries in the fire, from which en- ticing aroma billowed to their utmost surprise. C coffee beans are roasted ever since. An other myth says,the ill Mohamed prophet was given the coffee as a gift from archangel Gabriel. Drinking cof- fee, he became so vital and strong, so he had the energy to unhorse forty men and please forty women. A dif- ferent legend claims the coffee ber- ries saved the life of a disciple of Sheik Omar, founder of the Shadhiliyya Sufi Order (Abu al-Hasan al-Shadili Sheik), who was lost in the desert. Sheik Omar was famous for healing with the power of prayer. Following the won- drous escape from the desert he re- turned to Mocha, where later on he became respected as saint. There are no existent documentary about when coffee started to be used as primary ingredient to stimulant beverages, also when and how the dif- ferent ways of roasting, grinding and brewing were discovered. What we know for sure is that Coffea arabica has been grown in Arabia ever since the VI. century. Also there is a docu- ment, connected to Jabir Geber (Abu Musa Jaszbir ibn Hayyān),Arab natur- alist, who refers to this plant as a herb. Also a Persian author,Rhazes (Muham- mad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī) describes the positive effects of coffee (quawa plant) in his works during the IX. century. In a work of Avicenna (Abū ʿAlī al- Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sīnā) from the XI. century, called The Canon of Medicine he describes coffee as cura- tive even. Coffee (Coffea arabica) 3
4. Main components of coffee: Caffeine (0,3–2,5 %), Phenol carb- oxylic acids (3–5 %, Chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid), Aromatic substance, Polyphenols with antioxidant proper- ties, and Fatty Oil There are more than one hundred components that are responsible for the aroma of the coffee,that is created by the process of roasting. Coffee (for the caffeine content) - by a modest consumption - stimulates the central nervous system and the heart, also acts as vasodilator, raises blood pressure, enhances the effect of analgesic medicines, boosts gastric juice secretion and stimulates the res- piration centre. The chlorogenic acid found in coffee is diuretic and antibilious in effect. Recently performed experiments prove that drinking coffee is not as harmful as many believed so. Accord- ing to the results of a certain examina- tion in the field suggest that the active substance in coffee reduces the risks of gall bladder sickness, also for its polyphenol content,that is antioxidant in effect, coffee merits as high con- sideration as tea or garlic!

Main components in soya: Carbohydrates (20–25 %), Proteins (35–40 %), Lipids (15–18 % Fatty acids, mainly Linolic acid and Oil acid ester, 2–3 % Lecithin), and various Isoflavons Soybean lecithin reduces choles- terol levels and combined with other phospholipids protects the liver. Also soybean isoflavons are effective anti- oxidant, anticancerous and fitoestro- gen compounds. Fatty acids have skin care properties, they reduce dryness of skin and inflammation of skin. Soy milk is a valuable substance to increase the skin’s moisture holding capacity, and enhances its flexibility. Also it is adaquate substitute for milk for those suffering lactose intolerance. In Asia soya is common nutriment, used in many ways, for example in form of tofu, soy milk, and also as fermented food.

Hungarian language uses the same name, mandarin for more than one type of citrus fruit (e.g. Citrus reticulata, Citrus tanger- ine, Citrus clementina), but as the European Pharmacopeia describes (Ph. Eur. 5.6), mandarin essential oil is prepared from Citrus reticulata fruit by a specific mechanical procedure. Mandarin is grown in huge planta- tions around Southern European countries (Italy, Greece, Spain, etc.), the American continent, and certain countries of North America, how- ever mandarin originates from South China, and the Philippines, where it is natively growing wild. Main agents: Citrus fruits are good nutriment, especially valuable for the fiber and Vitamin content (primarily the anti- oxidant, anticancerous, and stress- protecting vitamin C), Fruit acids, Flavonoids and Minerals.

In moderate climate belt it is widely grown mainly for producing essential oil and menthol. It grows an average of 20–40 (rarely 80) cm tall, and resembles to other types of mint. Its flowers are purple and they are commonly found in wet soils. One of the first mention of this herb is in a Chinese compendium, in Lei Xiao’s Leigong baozhilun or ‘Treatise on the Preparation Remedies’, from the V. cen- tury. Main components: 1–3 % Essential oil (cca.80 % Menthol, also Menthon, Menthin acetate as main constituents), Tanning compound and Flavonoids Main effects: antimicrobiotic, antispasmodic, against flatulence,anti inflammatory,local anaes- thetic Folk medicine defines usage of Wild Mint greatly similar to Peppermint con- sidering that in many cases these two plants were not identified as two of a kind. Today’s medical therapy uses this herb in form of Galenus medicines (tab- lets and drops) and industrial produce as well, in cases of digestive disorders, ir- ratible bowel syndrome, bile path com- plaints. For external use to ease respira- tion in form of cream,to ease headaches in massage ointment and packs, to ease pains of musculoskeletal diseases and in treatment of oral, or dental symptoms.

Ganoderma has been known to the Far East, especially Japan, Korea and China for 4000 years. Used in Trad- itional Chinese Medicine (TCM) espe- cially, and has reached a closely similar importance as ginseng. It was men- tioned even during the Han Dynasty (200 B.C. until 200 A.D.) by name of Lingzhi. Emperor Wu of Han thought so highly of Ganoderma to consider it one of the tools for immortality, thus keeping it inside the castle walls. Regular and scheduled use enhances immune functions, helps recovery of the worsened health, especially im- portant in cancer treatment of stom- ach, pancreas, colon, liver as supple- mentary treatment,and also to reduce side effects of chemotherapy. There are series of publications about Ganoderma used as adjuvant therapy for hepatitis, carcinoma, dia- betes, leukemia, although most cases lack control testing, which is elemen- tary factor to be validated as proof. However,in the last decade there have been various sophisticated reports ap- pear about the therapeutic potential of Ganoderma. Numerous clinical and preclinical examinations certify positive phar- macologic effects. According to pub- lished reports the effects include anti inflammatory, analgesic, radioprotect- ive, chemo preventive, anticancerous, anti arteriosclerosis effects, but also conclude cases which prove it to help with sleeping, to reduce coagulation, blood sugar and blood lipids, also to protect liver,to prevent stomach ulcer, antioxidant effect, to reduce free rad- icals and antibacterial, antiviral (includ- ing HIV), and anti-aging effects.

More legends are connected to the discovery of coffee. One of them is the myth of Kaldi and his dancing goats. The stimulating effect of coffee has been discovered by Kaldi, the goat herder in Abyssinia according to the story. The herd was grazing and nib- bling on a strange bush with red ber- ries and leaves, and consequently they stayed vivid throughout the evening, whereas other times they had been calm and peaceful. Next day Kaldi tasted the strange red berries him- self, and discovered the stimulant ef- fect of coffee beans. For he was fear- ful of the origin of this freshness he experienced, and feared it was from the Devil, he visited a holy person in his home village and asked his opinion on the berries.The holy person threw the berries in the fire, from which en- ticing aroma billowed to their utmost surprise. C coffee beans are roasted ever since. An other myth says,the ill Mohamed prophet was given the coffee as a gift from archangel Gabriel. Drinking cof- fee, he became so vital and strong, so he had the energy to unhorse forty men and please forty women. A dif- ferent legend claims the coffee ber- ries saved the life of a disciple of Sheik Omar, founder of the Shadhiliyya Sufi Order (Abu al-Hasan al-Shadili Sheik), who was lost in the desert. Sheik Omar was famous for healing with the power of prayer. Following the won- drous escape from the desert he re- turned to Mocha, where later on he became respected as saint. There are no existent documentary about when coffee started to be used as primary ingredient to stimulant beverages, also when and how the dif- ferent ways of roasting, grinding and brewing were discovered. What we know for sure is that Coffea arabica has been grown in Arabia ever since the VI. century. Also there is a docu- ment, connected to Jabir Geber (Abu Musa Jaszbir ibn Hayyān),Arab natur- alist, who refers to this plant as a herb. Also a Persian author,Rhazes (Muham- mad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī) describes the positive effects of coffee (quawa plant) in his works during the IX. century. In a work of Avicenna (Abū ʿAlī al- Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sīnā) from the XI. century, called The Canon of Medicine he describes coffee as cura- tive even. Coffee (Coffea arabica) 3
4. Main components of coffee: Caffeine (0,3–2,5 %), Phenol carb- oxylic acids (3–5 %, Chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid), Aromatic substance, Polyphenols with antioxidant proper- ties, and Fatty Oil There are more than one hundred components that are responsible for the aroma of the coffee,that is created by the process of roasting. Coffee (for the caffeine content) - by a modest consumption - stimulates the central nervous system and the heart, also acts as vasodilator, raises blood pressure, enhances the effect of analgesic medicines, boosts gastric juice secretion and stimulates the res- piration centre. The chlorogenic acid found in coffee is diuretic and antibilious in effect. Recently performed experiments prove that drinking coffee is not as harmful as many believed so. Accord- ing to the results of a certain examina- tion in the field suggest that the active substance in coffee reduces the risks of gall bladder sickness, also for its polyphenol content,that is antioxidant in effect, coffee merits as high con- sideration as tea or garlic! Did you know? • Pope Clement VIII said: „This devil’s drink is so delicious...we should cheat the devil by baptizing it.” - from that time on Coffee has been a point of common agreement between the Christian and Muslim world? • J. S. Bach composed his famous Coffee Cantata as a taunt to a contemporary movement that claimed coffee causes fe- male infertility? • According to contemporary narratives Balzac drank cca. 50.000 cup of coffee in his life, working during even nighttime on his works.AndVoltaire is also said to have had 50–70 cups of his favorite drink every day? • One cup of coffee contains 2–3 times more antioxidant substance than the same amount of green tea? • DXN Coffee products are offered by Individually designed DXN coffee ma- chines as well? •A new marketing tool is available by the title ‚Thoughts on Coffee’, a book pub- lished by DXN Europe Ltd.?

Plain wheat is the most important grain (for bread) in our culture.It grew out of a combination of various ancient plants originating from Caucasus, Asia Minor and Middle Asia.Wheat is perennial or wintering herbaceous plant. Grown worldwide, especially in countries with moderate climate. There are different types of wheat known to provide flour, such as spelt (Triticum spelta), and du- rum wheat (Triticum durum). Main components in wheat: Seeds contain 10 % fatty oil.The Trigly- cerides contained in the seed have 50 % of Linoleic acid as main component, the rest are as follows: Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic and Linoleic acid. An other valu- able content is theTocopherols (vitamin E 0,3–0,5 %), Tocotrienols and Sterols (such as β-sitosterol, Campesterol) and also the ester derivatives of the latter mentioned sterols. Malt extract: It is produced by germination of any type of grain seed (wheat, barley, oat, etc.). During the sprouting process a certain enzyme is created (diastase) which transforms cellulose found in grain seeds into maltose and dextrins. The mostly used grain for this process is barley (Hordeum vulgare).

The tea tree is commonly known for the past 5000 years so far, and known to be native in several areas worldwide, such as China, North-East India (Assam), Burma and mountains of Thailand.Trees growing in the wild, might grow as tall as 10 m,while in cul- tivation they are 6 m high, evergreen bushes. Just like any other species that grow in various climates, these trees have developed into different types accord- ing to their habitat.This bush have two types actually, one is the frost toler- ant Chinese type (with slightly nar- rower and slender leaves) and the other Indian type which is sensitive to frost (with rounder and slightly bigger leaves). These two types in practice provide us with more than 3000 bev- erage recipes! Tea is consumed at dif- ferent levels of fermentation. GreenTea Harvested leaves are not fermented, but spread on a tray and treated by hot air,or steam.After this process the leaves are rolled and slightly roasted. BlackTea (RedTea) Harvested leaves are withered,rolled or finely cut, and they are fermented in humid air.Then they dry the fermented, dark colored leaves in hot air. Oolong tea Oolong tea is when the leaves are fermented within a range from 10 to 50 %. Tea, which is less fermented is called pouchong tea.In Chinese herbal tea mixes available in Hungary Oo- long tea is the most frequently used as component. WhiteTea The main region this tea originates from is Fu Chien andYunnan province. It is prepared from the bud and the first leaf under the bud.

23. Self-heal (Prunella vulgaris) Prunella is an abundant twiner,climb- ing on the grounds of in grasslands, pastures and croplands, well-known by the Traditional Chinese Medicine, however excluded by the European phytotherapy. It is even mentioned in Li Shizhen’s famous Bencao Gangmu - Compendium of Materia Medica, from 1578. Main components: Triterpene-saponins, Stereols (e.g ectison), Flavonoids,Tanning substance and Oligosaccharides Main effects: • Most important is preventing in- fections • prevents oral infections, and in- flammations (e.g. gum inflammation) • used as supplementary treatment of tumor therapy (for its immune modulant property) • used to treat inflammated skin also inflammations around the eyes (as a li- quid cleanser) Recommended daily dosage 6–15 g Different citrus species have been grown for very long period of time for their fruit. Hungarian language uses the same name, mandarin for more than one type of citrus fruit (e.g. Citrus reticulata, Citrus tanger- ine, Citrus clementina), but as the European Pharmacopeia describes (Ph. Eur. 5.6), mandarin essential oil is prepared from Citrus reticulata fruit by a specific mechanical procedure. Mandarin is grown in huge planta- tions around Southern European countries (Italy, Greece, Spain, etc.), the American continent, and certain countries of North America, how- ever mandarin originates from South China, and the Philippines, where it is natively growing wild. Main agents: Citrus fruits are good nutriment, especially valuable for the fiber and Vitamin content (primarily the anti- oxidant, anticancerous, and stress- protecting vitamin C), Fruit acids, Flavonoids and Minerals.

Main effects (crust): Traditional Chinese Medicine uses the peel instead of essential oils and the fruit itself. Green, immature peel is called qing-pi, while the mature orange peel is called chen-pi. The first one is for supporting liver func- tions, the latter one is to support the spleen, and to ease flatulance. Spica tea contains the mature peel. Beside these effects, it supports digestion, it is anti-inflammatory and expectan- tory. Daily dosage: 3-5 g peel daily 24
25. Mint is a wild-growing plant not only in Hungary, but also in China and Japan, as well as a different type growing in Can- ada.

Its flowers are purple and they are commonly found in wet soils. One of the first mention of this herb is in a Chinese compendium, in Lei Xiao’s Leigong baozhilun or ‘Treatise on the Preparation Remedies’, from the V. cen- tury. Main components: 1–3 % Essential oil (cca.80 % Menthol, also Menthon, Menthin acetate as main constituents), Tanning compound and Flavonoids Main effects: antimicrobiotic, antispasmodic, against flatulence,anti inflammatory,local anaes- thetic Folk medicine defines usage of Wild Mint greatly similar to Peppermint con- sidering that in many cases these two plants were not identified as two of a kind. Today’s medical therapy uses this herb in form of Galenus medicines (tab- lets and drops) and industrial produce as well, in cases of digestive disorders, ir- ratible bowel syndrome, bile path com- plaints. For external use to ease respira- tion in form of cream,to ease headaches in massage ointment and packs, to ease pains of musculoskeletal diseases and in treatment of oral, or dental symptoms. Also it is usable as respiratory infection treatment in form of inhalation as sug- gested. Mentha (Mentha arvensis) 2525

Ganoderma has been known to the Far East, especially Japan, Korea and China for 4000 years. Used in Trad- itional Chinese Medicine (TCM) espe- cially, and has reached a closely similar importance as ginseng. It was men- tioned even during the Han Dynasty (200 B.C. until 200 A.D.) by name of Lingzhi. Emperor Wu of Han thought so highly of Ganoderma to consider it one of the tools for immortality, thus keeping it inside the castle walls. Regular and scheduled use enhances immune functions, helps recovery of the worsened health, especially im- portant in cancer treatment of stom- ach, pancreas, colon, liver as supple- mentary treatment,and also to reduce side effects of chemotherapy. There are series of publications about Ganoderma used as adjuvant therapy for hepatitis, carcinoma, dia- betes, leukemia, although most cases lack control testing, which is elemen- tary factor to be validated as proof. However,in the last decade there have been various sophisticated reports ap- pear about the therapeutic potential of Ganoderma. Numerous clinical and preclinical examinations certify positive phar- macologic effects. According to pub- lished reports the effects include anti inflammatory, analgesic, radioprotect- ive, chemo preventive, anticancerous, anti arteriosclerosis effects, but also conclude cases which prove it to help with sleeping, to reduce coagulation, blood sugar and blood lipids, also to protect liver,to prevent stomach ulcer, antioxidant effect, to reduce free rad- icals and antibacterial, antiviral (includ- ing HIV), and anti-aging effects.
