[What is Citrus Aurantium]

Citrus aurantium L, belonging to the family Rutaceae, is widely distributed in China. Zhishi, the Chinese traditional name for Citrus aurantium, has long been a folk medicine in traditional Chinese medicine (TCMto improve indigestion and help stimulate the Qi (energy force).

[Function]

1. Have the function of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic and cholesterol lowering actions.

2. Have the function of inhibiting following enzymes: Phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase, HMG-CoA reductase and cyclo-oxygenase.

3. Have the function of improving the health of capillaries by reducing the capillary permeability.

4. Have the function of reducing hay fever and other allergic conditions by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells. The possible activity of hesperidin could be explained by the inhibition of polyamine synthesis. (bitter orange extract)

Hydr8 Night is a rich, intensively hydrating, overnight moisturiser with Resveratrol for cell-longevity and rejuvenating Beta-Glucan.

Suitable for all skin types. Ideally suited for use with Medik8 Retinol 3 TR.

Medik8 use professional strength Resveratrol derived from Japanese Giant Knotweed which is much more concentrated than sources from grape skin. Resveratrol is a new class of ingredient, called a Silent Information Regulator, promoting cell-longevity and helping to improve the appearance of tired skin overnight. Beta-Glucan, usually derived from Japanese mushrooms, is the second highly potent ingredient in Hydr8 Night. Beta-Glucan helps support the skin’s natural restoration mechanisms and is ideal for night-time skin texture renewal.

Together with calming botanical extracts, including Valerian and Passionflower, Hydr8 Night is the new meaning behind ‘beauty sleep’.

Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a type of antibiotic produced naturally by plants that are under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi, as well as UV exposure or physical injury. It has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties and is widely renowned for its capacity to increase cellular longevity. The foundation for these claims was built upon the discovery made by David Sinclair, PhD, at Harvard University, who established that resveratrol has an impact on the activity of the sirtuin gene family, also known as “longevity genes” – a group of 7 genes associated with the ageing process. Sirtuin is often referred to as a ‘protector of cells’ as it assists cells with their self-repair when they are close to destruction. When the cell hesitates between the struggle or surrender, sirtuin steps in and persuades it to fight on and to repair itself. Without the sirtuin, the cell would have died and as cells die, one ages.

Resveratrol naturally occurs in two isomer forms – cis and trans. Of the two, it is the trans isomer that has been shown in numerous studies to be the most bioactive and beneficial form of resveratrol. Medik8 only uses the chirally correct trans form of resveratrol derived from Japanese Knotweed – a robust, herbaceous perennial plant often regarded as the most abundant and reliable source of resveratrol.

Forest landowners often want to make some profit from their land, if only to pay the property taxes. Other than cutting timber, which can only be done so often, how can you generate income from your woods? In North America, our forests are often populated with a wide variety of valuable native plants and fungi that can be sustainably wild-harvested and sold. Many others can be introduced and cultivated to provide a steady stream of products to harvest for many years to come. There is a long history of growing shade-loving native medicinal herbs such as ginseng, goldenseal, and black cohash. The recent consumer interest in wild foods, such as ramps, fiddlehead ferns, creasy greens, oyster mushrooms, and nuts, provide another opportunity for generating income from your woods. This webinar will introduce you to a wide array of plants and fungi you can cultivate and wild-harvest for fun or profit on even a small wooded lot.
