Garlic (Allium sativum)
Now let’s delve into the fascinating world of garlic (Allium sativum), a natural treasure with multiple virtues, recognised for thousands of years for its sudorific properties and its incredible benefits in the body’s detoxification process.
Botanical attributes
Garlic, scientifically known asAllium sativum, belongs to the Alliaceae family. It originated inCentral Asia, where it has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. This herbaceous perennial is distinguished by its size, which can vary from 45 to 35 cm. Its small, oblong bulb is wrapped in a white, membranous tunic.
The garlic stem is weak and semi-cylindrical with two obtuse angles. At the base of the stalk are two oval-lanceolate leaves, 2 to 5 cm wide. These leaves have long stalks and a flat surface. They are soft-textured, with converging veins.
Garlic flowers are pure white and form flat, slightly loose umbels. The pedicels, which are equal and about twelve times longer than the flowers, support a spreading perianth with lanceolate-acute, deciduous divisions. They also have enclosed stamens with simple filaments. The stigma is obtuse.
Garlic is common in damp woods and ravines throughout most of France, with the exception of the Mediterranean plain and Corsica. Its distribution extends to Europe, the Caucasus and boreal Asia, with flowering from April to June.
In cooking, the garlic bulb, made up of several cloves, is used for its strong taste and smell. Its edible white or pink flowers bloom in summer. Since ancient times, particularly in Egypt, garlic has also been recognised for its medicinal properties.
Garlic varieties differ in terms of their fruit, a capsule with three chambers that is rarely produced, and the way they are propagated, mainly by dividing the bulbs, which consist of 3 to 20 cloves surrounded by a parchment-like skin.
Garlic and phytotherapy
Garlic, Allium sativum, is a culinary ingredient renowned for its unique flavour and sudorific properties. It is used to stimulate detoxification of the body. Its composition, mainly aqueous (64%), also includes :
- carbohydrates (27.5%),
- proteins (6%)
- and fibre (3%).
- Rich in beneficial compounds such as prostaglandin, phenolic acids, phytosteroids, polyphenols and flavonoids
- Source of various vitamins and minerals.
It contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, E, A, and minerals such as potassium, sulphur, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, as well as essential trace elements. Its medicinal properties include lipid-lowering and anticoagulant effects, useful against atheroma, antihypertensive, chelating, antioxidant, immunostimulant and anticancer effects. Around 4% of the American population and 10% of the Australian population use garlic for medicinal purposes.
Among its active compounds, garlic contains inulin, a prebiotic. It also contains allicin, known for its antibacterial, anti-infectious and antiviral properties. Garlic also contains anticoagulant agents, which can interact with certain medicines. Studies indicate that garlic may reduce the risk of colds, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer. The enzyme alliinase, necessary for these effects, requires a waiting period after crushing raw garlic before consumption. Garlic is also used to treat various mycoses, including athlete’s foot.
Detoxification benefits
Cutting garlic releases the enzyme alliinase, which triggers a chemical reaction producing various compounds, including methyl allyl sulphide. Methyl allyl sulphide is known for its pronounced sulphurous odour. It resists degradation by the body, resulting in prolonged elimination via the breath. It also leaves a persistent residue on the hands. The body also expels methyl allyl sulphide through the pores of the skin, notably through perspiration and urine. This causes bad breath, or halitosis, and unpleasant body odour.
Despite these effects, garlic remains a key ingredient in many everyday dishes. It contains volatile substances which, once ingested, are absorbed by the blood and lungs. They are then released through the skin and breathing, producing strong and often undesirable aromas.
In addition to its ability to stimulate perspiration, garlic has notable antiseptic and antibacterial properties. These characteristics make it a valuable ally in the prevention and fight against various infections. Garlic helps to strengthen the immune system, offering increased protection against pathogens. Regular use in the diet can therefore play a key role in maintaining good health and resistance to infection.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)
Let’s turn our attention to Lemon Balm(Melissa officinalis), a plant with a lemony fragrance and soothing properties, which stands out not only for its role in improving mental well-being, but also for its ability to promote the body’s natural detoxification process.
Botanical attributes
Lemon balm, known by its scientific name Melissa officinalis, is a perennial herbaceous plant. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Its name comes from the Greek“melissophullon“, meaning “bee leaf” or “bee grass”. Commonly known as “lemon balm” or simply “lemongrass”, this plant should under no circumstances be confused with the variety of lemongrass used in Far Eastern cuisine(Cymbopogon citratus) or with lemon verbena(Aloysia citrodora) from the Verbenaceae family. Originally from the eastern Mediterranean basin, lemon balm has been widely grown in Europe since Antiquity. It was introduced to Great Britain by the Romans. It is also found in North America.
Lemon balm grows to between 30 and 80 cm tall. It has upright, square stems. It is distinguished by its small, oval, embossed, serrated leaves, which give off a pleasant lemony fragrance when crumpled. Its white flowers have a corolla 12 mm long, with a bilabiate structure. The calyx is bell-shaped. It should be noted that this plant can be confused with catnip, a species of catnip, although their scent and floral appearance differ.
Cultivated in gardens since ancient times, lemon balm is equally at home in sun or shade. It prefers cool soil. It can be found in priest’s gardens and medieval gardens. There are several cultivars, including ‘Aurea’, ‘Citronella’, ‘Lemonella’, ‘Lime’ and ‘Altissima’. Each is distinguished by its fragrance and leaf characteristics.
This plant flowers from June to September. Its ecology extends to hedges, bushes and woods throughout most of France, including Corsica, as well as Central and Southern Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa.
Use as an infusion
Lemon balm, renowned for its aromatic leaves, is widely used in phytotherapy, particularly as an infusion for its sudorific properties. It effectively stimulates perspiration. This natural mechanism is essential for regulating body temperature, and is particularly useful in cases of low-grade fever. Stimulating sweating also encourages the elimination of toxins from the body. It can help to lower body temperature during feverish periods.
Although lemon balm water is known for its antispasmodic properties, it has no effect on bruxism. Lemon balm tea is appreciated for its astringent taste and lemony aroma, as well as its tonic and stimulating qualities. Its polyphenols have antiviral effects, particularly against herpes, and can reduce skin rashes. It also has antispasmodic and digestive properties.
In herbalism, lemon balm is prized for its calming and relaxing properties. It regulates nervous impulses, helping to reduce tachycardia and gastric and intestinal spasms. It is also effective against insomnia, nervous tension and certain viral infections. Its essential oil, rich in citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, flavonoids, polyphenols and triterpenoids, contributes to its effectiveness.
To prepare an infusion of lemon balm, simply immerse two branches of the plant in a litre of cold water. Then bring to the boil. Finally, leave to infuse for 10 minutes and strain. This infusion, drunk warm or chilled, is beneficial for digestion and relieves colds, coughs and stress. Lemon balm is on the official list of French pharmacopoeia. It is used to soothe sleep disorders and menstrual tension. It is an excellent antioxidant and can be used on an occasional or long-term basis as required.
Laurel (Laurus nobilis)
Next, let’s explore the virtues of Laurel (Laurus nobilis), an emblematic shrub of the Mediterranean basin, whose aromatic leaves have long been prized for their powerful sudorific properties and their significant contribution to the natural purification of our bodies.
Botanical attributes
Laurus nobilis, also known as Laurier vrai or Laurier-sauce, is a shrub in the Lauraceae family, native to the Mediterranean basin. This dioecious tree can grow from 2 to 20 metres tall. Its stem, grey below and green above, supports lanceolate, alternate, leathery leaves, dark green above and lighter below, which give off an aromatic scent when crumpled. The whitish flowers, in small umbels, appear from March to April, and the fruit, an ovoid, purplish-black, single-seeded drupe, ripens in autumn.
Once common in Mediterranean forests, the sauce laurel now survives in certain regions such as southern Turkey, northern Syria, southern Spain, north-central Portugal, northern Morocco, the Canary Islands and Madeira. Its current distribution also includes Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, southern Iberia, northern North Africa, Italy and the French Mediterranean coast, as far as the Atlantic in Brittany and the Algarve.
Partly hardy, Laurier Noble needs protection in winter in cold areas. It can be propagated by seed, root or twig cuttings, and prefers cool soil. Its slow growth requires the seeds to be stratified for 30 days.
Grown for its ornamental appearance and its leaves used as a condiment, Laurel sauce flowers from March to May, adapted to the rocks and woods of the Mediterranean region and the South-West coast, including Corsica.
Preparation and use as an infusion
As well as being used in cooking to flavour dishes, bay leaves have significant medicinal properties, particularly when infused. Infusing bay leaves actively promotes perspiration, a process essential for eliminating toxins and regulating body temperature. This property is particularly beneficial in treating cold or flu symptoms, where management of internal temperature is crucial.
In addition to its effectiveness in stimulating sweating, bay leaves have antiviral and antibacterial properties, making them a natural remedy for respiratory infections. Regular infusions can reduce cold and flu symptoms, boosting the immune system. Laurel also aids digestion, reducing bloating and flatulence, and has diuretic properties, helping to eliminate toxins. It stimulates the appetite and is beneficial for sluggish stomachs.
Laurel has anti-inflammatory effects, relieving muscle aches, sprains and joint pain caused by rheumatism. It disinfects the respiratory tract during flu or colds, relieving coughs, bronchitis and sinusitis. It also has a positive impact on morale, soothing and promoting sleep, relaxing muscles and lowering blood pressure. It combats stress and anxiety, and its anaesthetic effect soothes toothache. Finally, Laurel is used in hair care, effectively eliminating dandruff.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)
We now turn to Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), this warm, exotic spice renowned for its enchanting fragrance and sweat-inducing properties, playing a crucial role in boosting health and naturally detoxifying the body.
Botanical attributes
Cinnamon is a spice extracted from the inner bark of certain trees in the Lauraceae family , particularly cinnamon trees. All parts of the cinnamon tree are aromatic, including flowers, fruit and even tree residues such as chips. The spice is available in various forms: whole, crushed or ground.
The most popular variety is Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), originally from Sri Lanka, although there are other types, such as Chinese cinnamon, or cassia, the oldest known. The Ceylon cinnamon is a tree between 10 and 15 metres tall, with glossy green, oblong evergreen leaves 7 to 18 cm long. Its flowers are greenish and give off a rather unpleasant odour. The fruit is a small, purple, club-shaped berry, 1 cm in diameter.
The bark is harvested mainly during the rainy season. Although this species is native to Sri Lanka, its cultivation has spread toother tropical regions, where it can sometimes become invasive.
Herbal properties
Cinnamon, famous for its warm, spicy aroma, is a spice with many virtues, not least its ability to warm the body. It stimulates sweating, a natural mechanism for regulating body temperature and eliminating toxins. This thermogenic property makes cinnamon particularly effective in the treatment of respiratory disorders, by encouraging perspiration.
In addition to its sudorific effect, cinnamon has expectorant properties, helping to clear the respiratory tract. As a result, it has been used in a variety of traditional remedies to relieve coughs, congestion and other cold and flu symptoms. Consuming cinnamon makes breathing easier and speeds up recovery.
Cinnamon’s active ingredients include cinnamaldehyde, cannaldehyde, polyphenols and tannin. Cinnamaldehyde, which makes up 60-80% of Ceylon cinnamon essential oil, is effective against intestinal and stomach disorders. Cannaldehyde gives cinnamon its sweet taste. Polyphenols, found mainly in the powder, have anti-inflammatory effects and help fight infection. Tannin reinforces the anti-infectious action and is effective against diarrhoea.
Ceylon cinnamon has antiseptic, antiviral and antibacterial properties, useful against infections. It stimulates the adrenocortical glands, acting as an anti-diarrhoeal remedy. It is recommended for treating respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis, asthma, colds and flu. Its anti-parasitic and anti-fatigue properties make it an ally against parasites and fatigue. Cinnamon is also beneficial for digestion, relieving stomach heaviness, bloating and mild gastrointestinal spasms.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Let’s enter the world of ginger (Zingiber officinale), a spicy root with distant origins, famous for its pungent taste and impressive sudorific qualities, effectively helping to purify and energise our bodies.
Botanical attributes
Ginger officinale(Zingiber officinale) is a species of plant native to India. It belongs to the genus Zingiber and the Zingiberaceae family. Its rhizome is highly prized in traditional cooking and medicine, and is a spice commonly used in many Asian cuisines, particularly Indian. In the West, ginger is used to make ginger ale and desserts such as gingerbread. It differs from Japanese ginger, which is distinguished by the consumption of its flower buds.
This herbaceous tropical perennial grows to a height of around 0.90 to 1 metre and develops from a rhizome. Ginger leaves are evergreen, lanceolate and pleasantly fragrant. They are arranged in a biserial shape. Ginger flowers are white and yellow, with red spots on the lips, and are accompanied by green and yellow bracts. After flowering, small black seeds take their place inside trivalve capsules. These capsules are located on a low, scale-covered axillary spike.
Ginger prefers sunny exposures and humid atmospheres. It grows rapidly and multiplies by dividing its rhizomes. Historically, it was called “zenj” by Arab traders, a term also used to designate the inhabitants of the east coast of Africa, particularly Zanzibar, a major ginger trading centre.
In the Middle Ages, Saint Hildegard of Bingen mentioned Zingiber officinale, considering it harmful for healthy people, but beneficial for those who were weak or dry. At the time, ginger was seen as a magical plant with aphrodisiac properties.
Health benefits
Ginger, famous for its medicinal properties, is a root renowned for effectively stimulating perspiration. This characteristic is crucial for regulating body temperature and eliminating toxins, making ginger particularly useful against cold and flu symptoms.
In addition to its ability to promote sweating, ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory, useful for relieving pain and reducing fever. Used as an infusion or added to a variety of recipes, it helps reduce the discomfort associated with respiratory illnesses and speeds up the healing process. Ginger contains starch, protein, fat, essential oil and resin.
The sensation of warmth when ginger is consumed comes from shogaol, paradol and zingerone. Gingerol, contained in fresh ginger, undergoes a reduction in concentration during the drying process, while shogaol increases.
In Asia, ginger has long played an important role for its many medicinal properties. In particular, it is used as an anti-emetic and anti-migraine agent. It also plays an essential role in relieving kinetosis and morning sickness during pregnancy. It protects the gastric mucosa, combats biliary and pancreatic insufficiency, and reduces LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
In traditional medicine, ginger is classified as a yang element, playing a crucial role in rebalancing excess yin. Its main action is to promote sweating, making it a preferred choice for treating ailments resulting from exposure to the cold. In addition to its beneficial effects on cholesterol, ginger also has a positive impact on libido. Ginger tea promotes perspiration and is an effective remedy for the onset of colds and flu.
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)
Let’s discover the secrets of Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), an ingredient with intense, bewitching aromas, renowned for its powerful sweat-inducing properties and its remarkable ability to promote detoxification and strengthen our overall health.
Botanical attributes
Clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum) belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. Native to Indonesia, this tree produces cloves, a spice derived from its flower buds. It is a bushy, evergreen tree, 8 to 20 metres tall. Several parts of the clove tree, including the leaves and bark, are aromatic. The bright green leaves have aromatic oil glands on their underside. They are elliptical in shape and up to 13 cm long.
The clove’s flowers, grouped in small clusters, change from pale to bright red as they mature. The flower buds, consisting of a long ovary containing four sepals and a small ball of petals, are harvested and then dried to produce the spice. As the flower develops, the petals give way to white-yellow stamens surrounding a stigma.
Flowering varies from region to region, and harvesting begins when the plant is four years old. The fruit ripens around nine months after flowering, resembling an oblong olive and usually containing one seed. The clove is grown mainly in the North Moluccas.
Historically, cloves were used for their medicinal and culinary properties. It has been known since ancient times in China, Greece and Rome. The discovery of burnt cloves in Syria suggests an ancient trade with the West. In Europe, cloves were a symbol of wealth in the Middle Ages. The Portuguese monopolised its cultivation, followed by the Dutch in the Moluccan archipelago. Pierre Poivre played a key role in spreading the plant around the world, particularly in Mauritius, the Mascarene Islands and French Guiana. In France, cloves were celebrated on the 13th day of the month of Messidor in the revolutionary calendar.
Actions of cloves in phytotherapy
Cloves, known for their intense aroma, have a significant sudorific action, making them an excellent choice for infusions or essential oil blends aimed at detoxification. Drinking them as an infusion or using them in aromatherapy stimulates perspiration, facilitating thenatural and effective elimination of toxins from the body. This property makes them particularly well suited to purification and well-being programmes.
In addition to their sweat-inducing effects, cloves have analgesic and antiseptic properties. These characteristics make them useful for treating a range of ailments, including dental pain, headaches and certain skin conditions. Used in infusions, as a spice in food, or in essential oils, they add flavour and fragrance to preparations, while providing health benefits thanks to their many medicinal virtues.
In particular, clove oil is used in dentistry. Recent studies on rats have suggested that this oil could reduce the harmful effects on the brain of exposure to lead and manganese. In addition, clove has emerged as a promising candidate for the development of a potential drug against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. It also contains ellagitanin tellimagrandine II, a compound active against the herpesvirus.
What is the purpose of sweating?
“Let’s now take a look at the crucial role of sweating, a natural process essential to our body, which not only helps to regulate our body temperature, but also plays a decisive role in eliminating toxins and maintaining optimum health.
What is perspiration?
Perspiration, or sweating, is the natural process by whichsweat is released through the skin’s pores, and is essential for regulating body temperature, eliminating toxins and protecting the skin. Mostly aqueous, sweat also contains mineral salts, antibodies, waste products, vitamin C and proteins.
In the human body, 2 to 4 million sweat glands produce two types of sweat:
- Eccrine glands: Distributed throughout the body, they secrete odourless sweat, which is particularly abundant on the hands, armpits, forehead and feet.
- Apocrine glands: located in the armpits, genitals and chest, they release a thick sweat, rich in fats, which can become malodorous on contact with skin bacteria.
Perspiration has three main functions:
- Thermoregulation: Evacuating body heat to maintain a stable temperature.
- Waste elimination: expels toxins and metabolic waste.
- Skin hydration: Helps form and maintain the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film.
In the event of stress, excitement or fear, stress hormones can trigger cold sweats. Eccrine sweat, 99% water and electrolytes (sodium chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper) and organic compounds (lactic acid), is naturally odourless. Conversely, apocrine sweat, which is alkaline and rich in fats, can become malodorous under the action of skin bacteria.
The odour of perspiration comes mainly from the decomposition of apocrine sweat by bacteria, which generate malodorous chemical compounds. Measures such as armpit hair removal and proper foot ventilation can reduce these odours.
Benefits of perspiration
Perspiration, an essential bodily function, has inspired numerous cultural and therapeutic practices throughout the world. Historically, man has developed various methods of inducing sweating, such as saunas, hammams and sweat lodges, in order to treat himself or maintain good health. The Romans had their thermal baths, the Persians the hammam, the Russians the bania, the Japanese the sento and the Finns the sauna, the latter even being listed as a UNESCOintangible heritage site.
Perspiration plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature, helping to maintain a constant temperature of around 37°C. It also helps to eliminate certain organic waste products such as salts, lactic and uric acids. Sweat gland activity can increase in the event of stress or when excretory organs such as the kidneys are overloaded.
In health terms, excessive sweating can be a sign of physical or hormonal imbalances. However, a body that sweats normally in response to exertion or heat indicates good physiological function. We therefore advise against blocking this natural process, as it could overload other organs.
The use of antiperspirants is controversial because their active ingredient, aluminium chloride, reduces the diameter of the sweat ducts. Instead, a gentle, natural approach to regulation is recommended, for example using alum stone (potassium alum). However, this should be used with caution.
Diet also influences the smell of perspiration. A diet rich in proteins, spices, condiments, alcohol or stimulants can lead to more odorous perspiration. A balanced diet can help reduce these effects.
Does sweating help eliminate toxins?
Sweating, once considered a taboo subject, is now widely promoted in the media and beauty blogs. Activities such as infrared saunas and hot yoga are popular for their relaxing effects and their alleged ability to eliminate toxins through sweating. However, according to a recent study, thesignificant elimination of toxins through perspiration is a myth. In reality, sweating regulates body temperature but is not a primary mechanism for excreting waste, a role that falls to the liver and kidneys.
A study published in “Environment International” has highlighted the fact that, although perspiration serves to eliminate environmental pollutants, the quantities eliminated remain negligible. Joe Schwarcez, a chemist, points out that the presence of a chemical in sweat does not necessarily mean a health risk.
Sweat contains mainly water and minerals, and sometimes traces of toxic substances. Intense physical effort eliminates only a tiny fraction of the pollutants ingested. Despite their popularity, infrared saunas have not been scientifically proven to be effective in detoxifying or preventing cancer.
Excessive sweating in the event of illness can be counterproductive. Inhaling hot air, as in a sauna, has no anti-viral effect. Excessive physical activity can aggravate symptoms. Sweating helps to reduce body temperature in the event of a fever, but does not cure a cold or flu. When mild symptoms occur above the neck, exercise can be beneficial. However, in the presence of fever or severe symptoms, rest is strongly recommended. This is to prevent possible complications such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
Precautions and advice
Let’s now look at the essential precautions and advice to bear in mind when using sweating plants, to ensure a safe and beneficial experience for your health, while maximising their positive effects on your well-being.
The importance of medical supervision
It should be stressed that, despite the many benefits of sweating plants, their use should be approached with caution. This is particularly true for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those on medication. It is strongly recommended that you consult a health professional before starting any diet based on these plants. This will help avoid undesirable interactions and ensure safe use tailored to each individual case.
Respecting recommended doses
The importance of adhering to recommended doses cannot be underestimated. Although natural, these plants can have powerful effects and, if used in excess, could cause undesirable reactions. It is therefore crucial to follow the dosage instructions and not to exceed the suggested quantities, whether for therapeutic use or as a supplement to the normal diet.
In a nutshell
Sweat-inducing plants such as garlic, lemon balm, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger and cloves play an indispensable role in promoting health and well-being. Their ability to induce perspiration makes them valuable allies in detoxifying the body and treating various ailments. However, they must be used judiciously and under the supervision of a health professional. This is to ensure both effectiveness and safety. By adopting a balanced and informed approach, we can make the most of these gifts of nature while looking after our overall health.
