Wasong Gel
The focus of our Company, Super Power Plants for People, is to make Wasong Gel attractive to People with it's pleasant Green Plum flavor. It is slightly sweet with no added sugar. Medical cancer treatment has improved cancer treatments however, with lower birth rates and higher cancer rates in children, we want to contribute to prevention. The research on Wasong, Orostachys japonica, is available with links on this page. The two Wasong biomolecules are Kaempferol and Quercetin. This website has an accompanying web toon about how these biomolecules effect cancer cells. We are pleased that such research has identified these effective biomolecules in nature. This product has also been prepared using the information on the most effective aqueous extraction so as to maximize the potency of these biomolecules. Ultimately, the Wasong Gel will be packaged to make it easy for anyone to put in their pocket or lunch box. Currently we are selling a month supply, in a jelly jar but will soon have sitck packs.
Why take Wasong Gel?
Fresh Wasong is consumed in salads, beverages, soups, vinegar and yogurt, however it can also be put in tacos, sushi, and salsas. Because Wasong is not native to the Americas, we do not have it available fresh in our supermarkets. This why we have prepared a gel that can be preserved over time.
After taking care of a sibling who passed form cancer, I moved to Korea to work and learn more about teas. As fate would have it I noticed an exotic succulent plant about to be weed whacked one day and rescued it. It was growing on my kitchen table. What was it? Later on a weekend trip with friends, we saw it on a bottle at a train kiosk... I asked about it and the saleswoman said it was for people going through chemotherapy. After researching the name we learned that it had been eaten in Asia for 1500 years as a food. The Doguibogam (A compilation of medical texts by Heo Jun, 1613) describes it as a treatment for dysentery. Starting in 2012 there have been many research papers supporting its anticancer effects. One paper mentioned how doctors in the U.S. are interested in using Orostachys japonicain their arsenal of chemo therapy treatments. I decided it was time to return to the Unites States and start planting this succulent. Now I have plants started from seed. To move the availability of this unknown plant along, we are importing Wasong and preparing it according to the research on extraction techniques which maximize its beneficial effects. We are delighted to make this relatively unknown product available in the United States.
Wasong
Orostachys japonica, a succulent plant, grows on rock outcroppings in Korea, Japan, China and Russia. It also grows on architectural roof tiles in Asia, and is common on the older houses and temple tiles. Some people have small family plots of Wasong that they pick from leaving most of the plant behind and allowing it to continue growing. When one plant dies they replace it with a calloused piece from another plant. Some Wasong lives for 80 to 100 years. The entire plant is edible except for the roots.
