Quick Guide to Body Regeneration

This article provides a concise manual on how to restore your body within a month or use these tips regularly for prevention and maintaining optimal health and metabolism. The information is collected from various online sources, focusing on accessible ingredients and their health benefits. Ingredients and their proportions can be adjusted to your preference. Let’s get started:

1. Green Tea

I’ve been drinking green tea daily for several years—one cup in the morning and one in the evening, always without sugar, sometimes with lemon. In the morning, it energizes; in the evening, it soothes. I’m referring to Chinese loose-leaf green tea (not tea bags or local blends). You can also use oolong or pu-erh. Moderation is key—herbs can heal or harm if misused. Avoid drinking liters of it, as it can be harmful to your kidneys. Drink it in small sips and always warm (almost hot) for best effect. It’s also recommended to pour out the first brew to remove dust. Green tea (except for sheng pu-erh) should be brewed at 160-175°F (70-80°C) for 3-4 minutes. Sheng pu-erh is more forgiving and can be brewed with near-boiling water. Brewing regular green tea with boiling water will ruin its taste and some health benefits.

Benefits: Green tea is a tonic for all body systems. It contains caffeine and tannin, which stimulate brain activity. It helps prevent blood clots, lowers blood sugar, protects the liver from toxins, and eases symptoms of type 2 diabetes. It’s recommended after colds for faster recovery and is said to speed up wound and burn healing. Regular use helps with some skin conditions, removes salts from the body, aids weight loss, and normalizes blood pressure. Green tea contains iodine, potassium, copper, vitamins C, B1, B2, PP, and K, which strengthen blood vessels and have strong antibacterial effects.

2. Black Tea

I drink black tea rarely, about once every two weeks, with sugar. Brew it with boiling water. You can add lemon, honey, jam, or drink it plain. Again, use quality black tea. Black tea boosts immunity, improves the nervous system, is a good antioxidant, and helps cleanse the body of bad cholesterol. It can reduce headaches and fatigue. Black tea is rich in vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and caffeine. The caffeine in black tea is gentler and more beneficial than in coffee, improving concentration, heart function, and digestion. Tannin in black tea is a strong antioxidant and protects the body from external harm. Drinking about five cups a day may reduce stroke risk by up to 70%. Black tea also positively affects blood pressure and stimulates gastric juice production. If you have high stomach acidity, drink tea before meals; if low, after. Black tea is also good for teeth and gums due to its fluoride and tannin content. A cup with sugar can temporarily curb hunger and boost productivity. In hot weather, black tea quenches thirst and gives energy.

3. Mate

Mate is a tea-like drink made from dried leaves and stems of the evergreen Paraguayan holly tree. Indigenous South Americans have used it for nutrition, healing, and rituals for centuries. It’s traditionally drunk through a calabash and bombilla (available in specialty stores). Mate has a pleasant taste that changes with each brew, depending on the quality and preparation. At first, some may find it too bitter or strong, but you get used to it. Mate suppresses adrenaline production, making it great for people under stress, with insomnia, depression, or nervous system issues. It’s a natural stimulant due to its caffeine analog. Mate contains phosphorus, which benefits brain function and concentration. Its many beneficial components help fight viruses and bacteria, boost immunity, and speed up recovery. Mate supports liver health, improves digestion, lowers bad cholesterol, and helps prevent atherosclerosis. It also positively affects sexuality, promotes the production of youth hormones, and cleanses the blood.

4. Kefir

A glass of kefir at night, even as a dinner replacement, is very beneficial. Its rich composition makes it a top health food. Benefits include:

• Normalizing digestion and helping with stomach upsets by removing harmful substances.
• Recommended for gastritis and various GI diseases (not for those with high stomach acidity).
• Stabilizing kidney and liver function, lowering bad cholesterol, and cleansing the liver.
• Kefir with cinnamon helps normalize high blood pressure and aids weight loss, also serving as a calming agent.
• Supports pancreatic health and is used in folk medicine for high blood sugar and stabilizing the pancreas (diabetics should drink a glass before bed).
• Calms the nervous system, helps with neuroses, depression, and anxiety, and improves sleep quality.
• Boosts metabolism and helps with weight loss, especially if you choose low-fat kefir.
• Strengthens immunity, especially important for children during viral outbreaks, and helps with seasonal allergies.
• Acts as a mild laxative, helpful for those prone to constipation (note: kefir older than 3 days can have the opposite effect).
• Helps reduce swelling and may help prevent cancer.

5. Nuts

I prefer walnuts and hazelnuts, sometimes cashews, almonds, or pine nuts. Each type has its own benefits, but nuts are heavy and high in calories, so moderation is important. I recommend a handful between lunch and dinner. For more details on each type, check online resources and choose what suits you best.

6. Ginger

Use ground, fresh, or pickled ginger—whichever you prefer. Ginger’s healing properties come from its active components, including pungent phenolic compounds and essential oils that reduce nausea and inflammation. Ginger helps with morning sickness, motion sickness, and nausea after chemotherapy or surgery. Studies show it can prevent blood clotting and significantly lower cholesterol. It’s used to prevent heart attacks and strokes by cleaning arteries. Ginger is often used for osteoarthritis, fighting cartilage breakdown, reducing joint inflammation, and strengthening bones. It relieves muscle swelling and fatigue, boosts immunity, fights parasites, and helps prevent respiratory illnesses. It also has expectorant, pain-relieving, and diaphoretic effects, helps with constipation, headaches, migraines, and flu symptoms, and is known for its anti-parasitic and detoxifying properties. Ginger is sometimes recommended for infertility and potency issues, and is believed to relieve physical and mental fatigue. Pure ginger can improve dental health, and its essential oil is used for emotional disorders like fear, apathy, aggression, insecurity, and memory loss.

Note: Ginger has both benefits and contraindications. Overuse can cause belching, heartburn, diarrhea, or throat irritation. Don’t consume more than 4 grams of dried ginger per day. It’s not recommended for people with gallstones, stomach ulcers, or those preparing for surgery. Excessive use can cause dry or irritated skin, rashes, and may worsen vision. It can also cause heart rhythm disturbances, insomnia, or mood swings. Ginger should be avoided by young children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with fever or burns. You can eat ginger alone, brew it with tea, or take it in capsules (I fill empty gelatin capsules with ginger and take 1-2 in the morning with tea).

7. Flax Seeds

Flax has been known for centuries for its health benefits. Flax seeds are especially valued for their high content of essential nutrients. The polysaccharides in the seed coat absorb water, forming a viscous gel that soothes the digestive tract and helps heal damage from toxins or parasites. Flax seeds are used in folk medicine for psoriasis, detoxification, and digestive disorders. They normalize digestion, help prevent liver disease, and aid recovery after surgery. Flax seeds and oil can be taken daily (5-50 grams) to strengthen the body, boost immunity, and lower cholesterol, helping prevent hypertension, heart attack, stroke, thrombophlebitis, and coronary heart disease.

How to use flax seeds:

• With kefir: Add 1 tsp of flax seeds to 100g of kefir and use as a breakfast or dinner replacement. After the first week, increase to 2 tsp, and after two weeks, to 3 tsp.
• Flax seed decoction: Boil 1 tbsp of seeds in 0.5 liters of water for 30 minutes, wrap and let cool. Drink 250ml warm on an empty stomach after waking and before bed. Add a little sour juice (lemon, cherry, pomegranate) for taste.
• Flax seed infusion: Place 3 tbsp of seeds in a 1-liter thermos, pour boiling water, and let cool for 3 hours. Strain and store in a closed, opaque container. Drink 150g before meals and between meals for a month.
• Flax seed jelly: Soak 1 tbsp of seeds in 500ml boiling water for 8 hours (or grind seeds to speed up the process). Add honey, cinnamon, or vanilla for taste. Drink with plenty of water. Do not use during acute pancreatitis.

Warnings: Use caution if you have liver or gallbladder issues, as flax seeds thin bile and may cause gallstones to move. Only use fresh flaxseed oil, as old oil can be toxic. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before use, as flax seeds can stimulate uterine contractions. Flax seeds are available at any pharmacy and are inexpensive.

8. Rose Hips

Rose hips are very popular in folk medicine for their healing properties. Benefits include:

• Strengthening immunity and protecting against viruses and allergies.
• Strengthening blood vessels, lowering bad cholesterol, and improving circulation.
• Reducing blood pressure (recommended for those with hypertension).
• Diuretic and choleretic effects, supporting the digestive tract and treating ulcers.
• Improving digestion, appetite, and acting as an anti-parasitic (used in China).
• Good source of iron, helpful for those with iron deficiency.
• Antioxidant properties, removing toxins and waste from the body.
• Used to treat tuberculosis and promote wound healing.
• Regular use can dissolve gallstones, has anti-inflammatory effects, helps with vitamin deficiencies, stimulates reproductive glands, and aids bone healing after fractures.

Warnings: Overuse can harm the kidneys. Not recommended for those prone to thrombophlebitis, with high stomach acidity, or certain heart conditions. Rose hips can erode tooth enamel—rinse your mouth after use. Use caution with gastritis or ulcers, and consult a doctor if you have heart conditions or dermatological issues. Alcohol-based rose hip tinctures are not recommended for high blood pressure; use water-based instead. Excessive use can cause jaundice or constipation.

9. Mineral Water

I usually drink Essentuki-4, Essentuki-17, or Borjomi, purchased only from pharmacies (even then, authenticity isn’t guaranteed). Benefits include:

• Improving and structuring fluids at the cellular level.
• Strengthening cells to better resist threats.
• Supplying essential minerals.
• Boosting immunity and enzyme activity.
• Regulating acid-base balance.
• Strengthening bones and tooth enamel.
• Improving overall well-being.

Mineral water is great for detoxifying the body, quickly removing toxins and waste. Many people report normalized weight and improved metabolism after a course of mineral water.

10. Sauna or Steam Bath

I can’t say much about this method, but most people know the benefits of saunas and steam baths or can find information online. I personally don’t use this method due to blood pressure spikes and nausea in hot environments.

11. Bath with Salt and Essential Oils

This is my alternative to the sauna. Once a week, I take a warm bath with sea salt and essential oils. It helps me relax and meditate to chill or ethnic music. The water removes negativity, and meditation clears the mind. Adjust the temperature to your liking. 20-30 minutes is enough for this procedure.

Conclusion

It’s best not to neglect your health—our bodies wear out faster than we think. I recommend always keeping yourself in shape and occasionally doing a regeneration course. This manual works well alongside regular exercise, healthy foods (grains, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc.), and walks in the fresh air. Don’t forget to drink 1.5-2 liters of water daily. If you use any psychoactive substances, you should stop, as using them will make all these efforts pointless. Take care of yourself and your health!
