Try this delicate, creamy faun-colored Drencher and the next day you will call us asking, “Is there MSG in this? No!? Then why am I craving it?” Asian SunDrencher proves that addicting foods can be healthy! It was inspired from my love of oriental flavors: soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame. I found living, healthy alternates: Nama Shoyu (raw-soy); this rare food is made in only one place in the world! In a high village in Japan, the makers use only mountain spring water. It is patiently left to age four years in cedar casks.

Raw, organic ginger and garlic adds the zing and zest; the smooth Sesame Seed Oil brings it all together. Anyone who frequents the doors of Japanese and Chinese restaurants will find this Drencher to be their Zen.

• Raw, Organic, Un-pasteurized Nama Shoyu

  The Nama Shoyu we use in our products come from the village of Godspring, high in the mountains of Japan, that is truly a living food. This village historically has made shoyu for the emperor of Japan using a process that requires a great deal of patience. Made from mountain spring water and aged for four years in cedar casks, the production of this healing food is truly a labor of love, which may explain why high-quality artisan shoyu is now so difficult to find. It is high in B12, and is the only unpasteurized and organic soy sauce available that is also loaded with enzymes and lactobacillus rich. A study by National University of Singapore shows that Chinese dark soy sauce contains 10 times the antioxidants of red wine, and can help prevent cardiovascular diseases. Soy sauce is rich in probiotics of lactic acid bacteria and of excellent anti-allergic potential.

• Raw, Organic Cold-Expeller Pressed Sesame Oil

  Sesame is a very old crop that might have originated in Africa. It was also considered to be of great worth to Babylon and Assyria about 4,000 years ago. The Chinese have also been using sesame for thousands of years with many uses. African slaves brought sesame seeds, which they called benne seeds to America where sesame became a popular ingredient in Southern recipes. Sesame oil is a good source of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant, which means it helps lower cholesterol. Sesame oil contains magnesium which supports vascular and respiratory health; copper which aids in relief for rheumatoid arthritis; calcium with has proven to prevent colon cancer, osteoporosis, and migraines; iron and zinc both promote healthy and strong bones; and vitamin B6. Sesame oil is unique in that, it has the highest concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids, which these fatty acids are crucial in most all bodily functions. At the same time, the oil contains two natural-occurring preservatives, sesamol and sesamin. Therefore, sesame oil is the only oil which has a high percentage of polyunsaturated fats and also keeps at room temperature. With the high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids in sesame oil, it helps control blood pressure. Also, when sesame seed oil is used, lower amounts of medication have been needed to control hypertension. The effect of the oil on blood pressure may be due to polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the above named preserving compound sesamin – a lignan present in sesame oil, in which both compounds reduce blood pressure and even slowing down certain types of cancer (due to the anti-oxidant properties of the Lignans). Sesame seed oil has also aided in anxiety, nerve and bone disorders, poor circulation, lowered immunity and bowel problems. It is used to energize strength and vitality and enhancing blood circulation, while dispelling lethargy, fatigue and insomnia. It also eases pain and muscle spasm, such as sciatica, dysmenorrhoea, colic, backache and joint pain. For many years, it has been used to slow the ageing process and promotes longevity. Sesame oil relieves dryness both externally and internally (it is sometimes recommended to alleviate the dryness associated with menopause). It does this by restoring moisture to the skin, keeping it soft and pliable. It also keeps the joints and bowels lubed, while easing symptoms of dryness such as coughs, cracking joints and hard stools, thus it is used as a laxative. Sesame seed oil has also been used as a remedy for toothaches and gum disease. “In an experiment at the Maharishi International College in Fairfield, Iowa, students rinsed their mouths with sesame oil, resulting in an 85% reduction in the bacteria which causes gingivitis. As nose drops, sniffed back into the sinuses, sesame seed oil has cured chronic sinusitis. As a throat gargle, it kills strep and other common cold bacteria. It helps sufferers of psoriasis and dry skin ailments. It has been successfully used in the hair of children to kill lice infestations. It is a useful natural UV protector.” It also is used in the treatment of blurred vision, dizziness, and headaches. It is naturally antibacterial for common skin pathogens, such as staphylococcus and streptococcus as well as common skin fungi, such as athlete's foot fungus. It is naturally antiviral. It also is a natural anti inflammatory agent. It has been used extensively in India as a healing oil, including in experiments which showed it was useful in unblocking arteries. In recent experiments in Holland by physicians, the oil has been used in the treatment of several chronic disease processes, including hepatitis, diabetes and migraines. Sesame seed oil has inhibited the growth of malignant melanoma, which is a skin cancer. It also has inhibited replication of human colon cancer cells. Molecules of sesame seed oil maintain good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL). Used after exposure to wind or sun it will calm the burns. It nourishes and feeds the scalp to control dry scalp dandruff and to kill dandruff causing bacteria. Used before and after radiation treatments, sesame seed oil helps neutralize the flood of oxygen radicals which radiation inevitably causes. On the skin, oil soluble toxins are attracted to sesame seed oil molecules which can then be washed away with hot water and a mild soap. Internally, the oil molecules attract oil soluble toxins and carry them into the blood stream and then out of the body as waste. Used as a douche mixed with warm water, the oil controls vaginal yeast infections. It helps tighten facial skin, particularly around the nose, controlling the usual enlargement of pores as skin ages chronologically. In the nose and ears, it will protect against common skin pathogens. Sesame seed oil has been proven to protect against air borne viruses and bacteria. Sesame seed oil is the one oil which is actually good for young skin. It helps control acne eruptions and neutralizes the poisons which develop both on the surface and in the pores. Used on baby skin, particularly in the area covered by a diaper, sesame seed oil will protect the tender skin against diaper rash caused by the acidity of waste.But there is a more interesting use for this historic plant. Agave syrup (or nectar) is about 90% fructose. Only recently has it come in use as a sweetener. It has a low glycemic level and is a delicious and safe alternative to table sugar. Unlike the crystalline form of fructose, which is refined primarily from corn, agave syrup is fructose in its natural form. This nectar does not contain processing chemicals. Even better, because fructose is sweeter than table sugar, less is needed in your recipes. It can be most useful for people who are diabetic, have insulin resistance (Syndrome X), or are simply watching their carbohydrate intake. The agave (uh-gah-vay) plant has long been cultivated in hilly, semi-arid soils of Mexico. Its fleshy leaves cover the pineapple-shaped heart of the plant, which contains a sweet sticky juice. Ancient Mexicans considered the plant to be sacred. They believed the liquid from this plant purified the body and soul. When the Spaniards arrived, they took the juices from the agave and fermented them, leading to the drink we now call tequila. But there is a more interesting use for this historic plant.

• Raw, Organic, Un-filtered Apple Cider Vinegar

  Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used for centuries as an energizing tonic and elixir. ACV is a completely natural product resulting from a two-step fermentation process of apples, from which it retains all the nutritional benefits of the apples plus gaining the extra acids and enzymes from fermentation. ACV may also help you lose weight. Here are four reasons why: First, it may Increase Satiety. The hormonal reflex that sends a “full” message from your digestive system to your brain is triggered by ACV. Satiety means feeling full. Scientists think that satiety occurs more quickly with acetic acid (the ‘sour’ part of ACV). A preliminary Swedish study suggested that higher intake of ACV before meals was associated with significantly lower blood sugar and insulin responses and an increased satiety score. Second, it may suppress appetite. Pectin, the water-soluble fiber in apples and ACV, may absorb water and make your stomach feel a little full before beginning your meal. Third, it may Increase Metabolic Rate. ACV may help your digestion of protein, which is the building block of growth hormone. Higher protein levels can mean more growth hormone, which may increase metabolism during your resting times. ACV may also improve your production of insulin. And fourth, it may improve Digestion. Improving your digestion means fats stay in your digestive tract for a shorter time, with less absorption of those fats into your system. A number of other health benefits you might get from ACV are: Helps support healthy bone structure through minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicone, plus a number of vitamins), maintain healthy lipid levels, maintain healthy heart and circulatory system, and control optimal inflammatory response. ACV is also known to aids in normal detoxification of your body.

• Raw, Organic Garlic

  Garlic has long been considered an herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague! Raw garlic is used by some to treat the symptoms of acne and there is some evidence that it can assist in managing high cholesterol levels. It can even be effective as a natural mosquito repellent. Science has shown that garlic is a powerful antibiotic. The body does not build up resistance to the garlic, so its positive health benefits continue over time. There are two main medical ingredients which produce the garlic health benefits: allicin and diallyl sulphides. Allicin has amazing antibiotic properties and also is an excellent anti-fungal which has been used to treat skin infections. Diallyl sulphides are good for the blood and circulation. The sulphides also help to lower the levels of "bad" cholesterol; hence garlic might help to keep the heart and cardiovascular system healthy. Diallyl sulphides have cancer fighting properties; this is because they are an anticarcinogen. Garlic is claimed to help prevent heart disease including atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cancer. Garlic reduces the accumulation of cholesterol on vascular walls, and significantly reducing the plaque in the aortas. Garlic prevents vascular calcification in humans with high blood cholesterol. Garlic also helps regulate blood sugar levels, while boosting the immune system.

• Raw, Organic Ginger

  Ginger has been sought after for more than 5,000 years by the ancients of China and India for its health-promoting properties. It was always highly in demand by spice traders. Today, it is still a component of a full 50 percent of traditional herbal remedies. Research suggests that it has the ability to help offset the lipid elevating effects of a high-fat diet, which aids in weight loss. Ginger has high levels of anti-oxidants with 12 different types accounted for. It also supports the optimal cell division process which allows the body to function properly. It is proven to support in cardiovascular health, control inflammatory response, and aid in the digestive process. Perhaps ginger is best know, and most widely used for treating nausea.

• Raw, Organic Agave Nectar

  The Agave plant is indigenous to the semi arid climate in central Mexico. Agave nectar comes from the Agave plant, and is mainly produced along the pacific coast. The ancient Indians considered the plant to be sacred. They believed the liquid from this plant purified the body and soul. Due to its perfect sugars, when agave nectar is mixed with certain fruits it can be considered a natural laxative, helping in constipation. It also helps the gall bladder function properly, helping with the breakdown of fats. Its oligo-organic contents also work against the blocking of arteries and veins. Agave Nectar has a very low glycemic level. It will not over stimulate the production of insulin, and is a delicious and safe alternative to table sugar. It can be most useful for people who are diabetic, have insulin resistance or are simply watching their carbohydrate intake. Unlike the crystalline form of fructose, which is refined primarily from corn, Agave Nectar is sweet in its natural form. This nectar does not contain processing chemicals. The Agave crops used in producing Agave Nectar are herbicide and pesticide free. It also has been certified with purity, both organic and kosher. Agave is a superior natural choice to other sweeteners. It will never harden in the bottle. Agave Nectar is highly soluble and dissolves readily when combined with other whole foods, which enhance the final products freshness due to its hygroscopic properties which act as humidifying agents, thereby increasing the shelf life of such products. This makes it a natural preservative.
