Some of the benefits of Loquat leaves are mentioned on the following webpage:
Loquat Leaf, fruit and seed; Dr. Michael Tierra L.Ac., O.M.D "The leaves and kernel contain amygdalin (amygdalin is otherwise known as the anti-cancer vitamin, B17 or laetrile)" |
The following excerpt taken from
TRIPLE LEAF TEA--Ancient Chinese Medicinal Teas What is
the function of the Loquat Leaf and Malva Verticellata in the diet teas? Peter Holmes in THE JADE
REMEDIES states that loquat leaf is a gastric sedative and antiemetic, and a
respiratory sedative, antitussive and expectorant. In traditional Chinese
medicine terms, Holmes writes that it works on the respiratory and digestive
systems, and the lung and stomach channels. According to THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
HERBS by Demi Brown, loquat leaf is "a bitter, expectorant herb that
controls coughing and vomiting; it is effective against bacterial and viral
infections...internally for bronchitis, coughs with feverish colds, nausea,
vomiting, hiccups, and persistent burping." |

| This large evergreen shrub or large tree that grows to about 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide in 10 years originated in China. The leaves are usually 6 to 12 inches long, look and feel leathery and somewhat veiny, and have sawtooth edges. They are dark green on top and the undersides are covered with a lightly dusted tan fuzz. There are about 3 to 4 pounds of leaves per cubic foot packaged (slightly compressed). |
