MEDICINAL AND THERAPEUTIC USE

Technological advances in science are now able to prove what the ancient Chinese have always known;  Jujubes are nutriceutical powerhouses helping to nourish and protect our bodies.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have historically used the fruit as an anti-inflammatory , as a systemic immunostimulant, as a blood and energy builder and as a calming supplement for stress relief. Additional uses included liver tonic for cirrhosis and hepatitis, spleen support and as a digestive aid for convalescing patients. Recent scientific studies have documented anti-cancer properties again breast cancer cells, liver cancer cells, cervical cancer cells and lung cancer cells. Jujube fruit contains high levels of betulinic acid demonstrated to have anti-HIV  and anti-melanoma properties.. How one fruit can have all these benefits has to do with not just the combination, but also the complexity of its phyto-nutrients. Jujubes are rich in flavonoids and phenols.
