Before, the role of alismataceae is to start the so-called food chain or web. It serves as fodder especially for grazing and herbaceous animals especially in Southeast Asia; while in North America, indigenous people consume this plant. Aside from satisfying our hunger, would you believe that this flowering plant also aids in losing weight?
In China, Alismataceae is called as Ze Xie and is considered one of the best weight loss herbs throughout time. Basically, Oriental medicine believes that Ze Xie is a natural diuretic, which means it aids in flushing out toxins, excess fats, excess water, etc. This is also the reason why people make teas out of it. Furthermore, alismataceae also produces heat so it burns down accumulated fats and at the same time stimulates the metabolic processes. However, don’t overdose, if you don’t want to feel constipated all the time.
In order to understand fully how it works, let us examine its chemical composition. First it has alisol, which is a highly acidic compound. Studies reveal that alisol A 24-acetate and alisol B, which are present in Alismataceae can be used to treat tumors and other unwanted cells such as carcinogens. Listed below are the chemical compounds, which are derivative of alisol and found in the said plant:
- Alisol A
- Alisol B
- Alisol C
- Alosol A monoacetate
- Alisol B monoacetate
- Alisol C acetate
- Epi-alisol A
- 24-Acectyl alisol A
- 23-Acetylalisol B
- 23-Acetyl alisol C
Aside from being expelling out toxins, water etc, do you also know that alismataceae can burn out fats because of its other functions? Chinese experts say that Ze Xie can also:
- Reduce fats in the blood particularly cholesterol.
- Prevents hardening of the blood vessels such as the main artery
