Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gingiva, the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. It's important to take gingivitis seriously and treat it promptly. Gingivitis can lead to a much more serious gum disease called periodontitis and tooth loss.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and getting regular dental checkups, can help prevent and reverse gingivitis.

Healthy gums are firm and pale pink and fitted tightly around the teeth. Signs and symptoms of gingivitis include:
  • Swollen or puffy gums
  • Dusky red or dark red gums
  • Gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss
  • Bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Tender gums

When to see a dentist


If you notice any signs and symptoms of gingivitis, schedule an appointment with your dentist. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances of reversing damage from gingivitis and preventing its progression to periodontitis.

Causes


The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene that encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. Here's how plaque can lead to gingivitis:
  • Plaque forms on your teeth. 
  • Plaque turns into tartar. 
  • Gingiva become inflamed (gingivitis). 

Risk factors


Gingivitis is common, and anyone can develop it. Factors that can increase your risk of gingivitis include:
  • Poor oral care habits
  • Smoking or chewing tobacco
  • Older age
  • Dry mouth
  • Poor nutrition, including vitamin C deficiency
  • Dental restorations that don't fit properly or crooked teeth that are difficult to clean
  • Conditions that decrease immunity such as leukemia, HIV/AIDS or cancer treatment
  • Certain drugs, such as phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek) for epileptic seizures, and some calcium channel blockers, used for angina, high blood pressure and other conditions
  • Hormonal changes, such as those related to pregnancy, menstrual cycle or use of birth control pills
  • Genetics
  • Medical conditions such as certain viral and fungal infections

Complications

Untreated gingivitis can progress to gum disease that spreads to underlying tissue and bone (periodontitis), a much more serious condition that can lead to tooth loss.

Prevention

  • Good oral hygiene. That means brushing your teeth for two minutes at least twice daily — in the morning and before going to bed — and flossing at least once a day. Better yet, brush after every meal or snack or as your dentist recommends. Flossing before you brush allows you to clean away the loosened food particles and bacteria.
  • Regular dental visits. See your dentist or dental hygienist regularly for cleanings, usually every six to 12 months. If you have risk factors that increase your chance of developing periodontitis — such as having dry mouth, taking certain medications or smoking — you may need professional cleaning more often. Annual dental X-rays can help identify diseases that are not seen by a visual dental examination and monitor for changes in your dental health.
  • Good health practices. Practices such as healthy eating and managing blood sugar if you have diabetes also are important to maintain gum health.

About Our Heart

The average heart beats are about 60- 80 times and pumps about 13, 640 litres
(3,600 gallons) of blood a day. The heart’s primary functions is to pump blood to all parts of the body, bringing nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and removing waste products. Heart disease is one of the biggest killers and billions are spent on the treatment and prevention of the heart disease every year. ICP Tasly Capsule can dilate coronary artery, enhance blood flow and improve microcirculation, it shows good results in prevention and treatment of heart and circulation related disease.
Function 1:
  • To fight coronary heart disease (CHD)
Tasly ICPICP Tasly Capsule, with the precious ingredients of Salvia Miltiorrhiza, Notoginseng etc. It has similar function of anti- platelet aggregation as Aspirin. Moreover, it has effects on cholesterol and trilyceride reduction, blood viscosity reduction, general microcirculation improvement, anti- oxidation, free radical clearance, cardiac muscle protection, etc. These functions coordinate at multiple levels, aim at multiple targets, and act in multiple targets, and act in multiple systems. Most effects function at key points of coronary heart disease. We strongly suggest that ICP TASLY Capsule should be used to fight coronary heart disease. And we suggest mid-age population (male>35 years old and female>40 years old) take ICP Tasly Capsule as early as possible, because their hearts should be taken care more seriously.

Function 2:
  • Protect from stroke
Brain infarction is commonly known as ‘brain stroke’. It includes the formation of blood clot and embolism. Incidence of brain stroke increases obviously in recent years. It also occurs more and more frequently in young people recently. ICP Tasly Capsule has the function to improve blood circulation by removing stasis. Clinical application proves that ICP Tasly Capsule and conventional therapies has good effects on patients suffering from brain stroke.

Function 3:
  • To clean blood vessel and protect 2nd heart- Microcirculation
Microcirculation is the blood circulation between the capiliry asterioles and venules. It’s used for the nutrient exchange between body, blood and tissue and brings oxygen and nutrient to tissues and takes away the metabolic productions. It has been proven by many researches thatICP Tasly Capsule can improve the body microcirculation. Research in Medical School of Keio University, Japan, has shown that ICP Tasly Capsule has a multi- target effect on microcirculation disturbance.

Function 4:
  • To lower blood lipid (Cholesterol) and reduce plaque from antherosclerosis
ICP Tasly Capsule has definite function to reduce blood lipid, especially function to cholesterol. Some researches have been done to patients of carotid antherosclerosis. Controlled by normal dosage of Aspirin, treatment with therapeutic dosage of Aspirin, treatment with therapeutic dosage (10 cap* 3 times per day) ICP Tasly Capsule results in:
  1. Change of carotid intima- media thickness (IMT): Carotid IMT thickness decreased in the group treated withICP Tasly Capsule [P<0 .05="" and="" change="" control="" group.="" in="" li="" no="" noticeable="" there="" was="">
  2. Change of blood rheology: Blood Viscosity of both groups decreased, but no remarkable difference between the treatment group and control group was observed [P>0.05]
  3. Change of blood lipid level: Patients in both groups have a high level of blood lipid. After treatment ofICP Tasly Capsule, cholesterol and triglyceride level were significant difference [p<0 .01="" and="" between="" control="" groups.="" li="" respondents="">

Function 5:
  • To reduce the diabetic related eye diseases and kidney disfunction
Diabetic retinopathy and renopathy caused by microcirculation and capillary of diabetes patients, the common complication in micro blood vessels regarding to diabetes patients, the common complication in micro blood vessels regarding to diabetes.ICP Tasly Capsule change the blood rheology, anti- calcium ion and reduce the triglyceride and cholesterol level. Therefore,ICP Tasly Capsule is highly recommended to diabetes complication patient.

Function 6:
  • To protect liver cells
Habit of drinking a lot of alcohol will result in block of liver. Patients will have malnutrition coupling with abnormal feelings such as discomfort in liver area and appetite decline. Research shows that by using the ICP Tasly Capsule for 3months will normalize the liver function and remarkably recover the impaired liver. More importantly, intake of ICP Tasly Capsule before drinking will delay the alcohol absorbance and protect the liver.
A landmark study, the 10-year, multi-center Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), has now shown that intensifying diabetes management with stricter control of blood sugar levels can reduce long-term complications.
The results of DCCT are extraordinary in that they prove that tight control of glucose levels can in fact dramatically slow the onset and progression of diabetic complications in both Type I and Type II diabetes. Additionally, researchers have found strict attention to diet and exercise also helps in the management of diabetes.

  • Management of Type I Diabetes
Virtually everyone with Type I diabetes (and more than one in three people with Type II) must inject insulin to make up for their deficiency. Until recently, insulin came only from the pancreases of cows and pigs (with pork insulin more closely duplicating human insulin). While beef, pork and beef/pork combinations are still widely used, there are now two types of "human" insulin available: semisynthetic (made by converting pork insulin to a form identical to human) and recombinant (made by using genetic engineering). All insulin helps glucose levels remain near normal (about 70 to 120 mg/dl).
Different types of insulin work for different periods of time. The numbers shown below are only averages. The onset (how long it takes to reach the bloodstream to begin lowering the blood sugar), peaking (how long it takes to reach maximum strength) and duration (how long it continues to lower the blood sugar) of insulin activity can vary from person to person and even from day to day in the same person.
Rapid or Regular Activity: Onset is within half an hour and activity peaks during a 2 to 5 hour period. It remains in the bloodstream for about 8 to 16 hours. These fast-acting, short-lasting insulins are useful in special cases: accidents, minor surgery or illnesses, which cause the diabetes to go out of control or whenever insulin requirements change rapidly for any reason. These are also being used more and more in combination with a long-acting insulin or alone (prior to meals and at bedtime).
Semilente: A special type of short-acting insulin that takes 1 to 2 hours for onset, peaks 3 to 8 hours after injection and lasts 10 to 16 hours.
Intermediate-Acting: Reaching the bloodstream 90 minutes after injection, intermediate-acting insulin peaks 4 to 12 hours later and lasts in the blood for about 24 hours. There are two varieties of this type of insulin: Lente (called L) and NPH (called N).
Long-Acting: These insulins, which take 4 to 6 hours for onset, are at maximum strength 14 to 24 hours after injection, lasting 36 hours in the bloodstream. Long-acting insulin is referred to as U (for Ultralente).
Please be aware of the following problems that exist with insulin intake:
    • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is sometimes called an insulin reaction or insulin shock. It can occur suddenly in people using insulin if too little food is eaten, if a meal is delayed or in the case of extreme exercise. Symptoms include feeling cold, clammy, nervous, shaky, weak or hungry, and some people become pale, have headaches or act strangely.
    • Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) occurs when too much food is eaten or not enough insulin is taken. The warning signs are large amounts of sugar in the urine and blood, frequent urination, great thirst and nausea.
    • Ketoacidosis (in its most severe form - diabetic coma) develops when insulin and blood sugar are so out of balance that ketones accumulate in the blood. Symptoms include high blood sugar or ketones in the urine, dry mouth, great thirst, loss of appetite, excessive urination, dry and flushed skin, labored breathing, fruity-smelling breath and possible vomiting, abdominal pain and unconsciousness.
In addition to daily injections of insulin, regular physical activity and a controlled diet are essential. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following daily dietary guidelines:
    • Up to 70 percent of all calories should be obtained from carbohydrates and unsaturated fats. These carbohydrates should be mainly complex carbohydrates and naturally occurring sugars (simular to those in milk and fruits). Examples of unsaturated fats are vegetable oils and margarine.
    • Between 10 and 20 percent of calories should be obtained from protein.
    • Less than 10 percent of all calories should be obtained from fat. Saturated fats are found in animal products and in some vegetable oils (such as coconut, palm, and palm-kernel oils).
    • Eat 30 to 35 grams of fiber.
    • Eat no more than 300 mg of cholesterol.
For Type I diabetes, the meal plan should be tailored to the person's individual needs and is likely to include three meals and two or three snacks a day. A person with diabetes must eat these meals and snacks at set times each day to properly balance insulin.

  • Management of Type II Diabetes
The ADA recommends diet (see ADA guidelines stated above) and regular physical activity as the first line of treatment for Type II diabetes. If normal glycemic levels are not achieved within three (3) months, drug treatment is recommended.
Currently there are four (4) classes of prescription drugs available for the treatment of Type II diabetes:
    1. Sulfonylureas (Diabinese, Dymelor, PresTab, Orinase, Tolinase, Micronase, DiaBeta, Glynase, Glucotrol, Glucotrol XL and Amaryl), which stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin.
    2. Biguanides (Glucophage and Metformin), which keep the liver from releasing too much glucose.
    3. Alpha-glucoside inhibitors (Precose), which slow the digestion of some carbohydrates.
    4. Thiazolidinediones, which control glucose levels by making muscles more sensitive to insulin and reduce the amount of glucose that the liver produces.
Clinical trials suggest that oral antidiabetic agents - particularly the new noninsulin secretagogues (including Troglitazone and Metformin, which act on the liver and skeletal muscle) - may be useful in delaying or preventing development of Type II diabetes. Both agents, acting primarily by different mechanisms of action, also have demonstrated potential beneficial effects on serum lipid profiles.
Although these oral medications work in different ways, they can be combined to work more effectively to manage Type II diabetes. When these combinations of oral treatments are no longer effective (for about 60 percent of people with Type II diabetes), the doctor will start a regimen of insulin alone or in combination with an oral medication.

How long does a course of ICP last? Can ICP be taken for a long period of time?
  • A course of ICP for CHD-induced angina is 4 weeks. Further and longtime usage may be allowed by the doctor in accordance with results of examination. Longtime administration is suggested.
What is the difference between oral and sublingual administration of ICP?
  • First aid and patients intolerant to gastrointestinal irritation — sublingual administration
    • Sublingual venous plexus is one important route of administration, for water-soluble drugs may quickly enter circulation through the thin mucosa and considerable vessels under the tongue and play their actions.
  • Patients disliking the mouthfeel of sublingual administration — oraladministration
    • Before going into circulation, an orally administered drug must pass through the stomach, the liver, the main site of drug breakdown, and the intestine, experiencing the first-pass effect. As a result, some of the active substances are removed from the blood and the concentration of the drug is reduced.
    • Comparatively speaking, the bioavailability of a drug sublingually administered is higher than that orally administered.

Why can ICP relieve angina so quickly?
  1. Dripping pill dosage form: ingredients are dispersed in the substrate in the form of molecules or tiny crystals, which help   to promote absorption, shorten the time to effectiveness and increase bioavailability.
  2. Sublingual administration: directly absorbed into the blood through lingual mucosa.
  3. Borneol: shorten the time to effectiveness, dilate coronary arteries and kill pains.
  4. Pharmaceutical innovation (GEP): extract and refine water-soluble ingredients to quicken effectiveness.
Which types of persons is ICP UNFIT for?
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women: 
    • since ICP stimulates circulation and removes stasis, it should be used for pregnant women with caution, and breastfeeding women must follow doctor's advice.
  • Children: 
    • administration of ICP to children has been documented. ICP has been used for 42 cases of pediatric bronchitis or pneumonia with an ORR of 90.5%, which is higher than conventional anti-infective therapies.
What foods can Not be eaten during ICP usage?
  • Fatty cuts of meat, fat, animal organs are prohibited for CHD patients, who should also quit smoking and drink a limited amount of alcohol.Therefore,during ICP usage,high-cholesterol food should be taken as little as possible. This does not mean a conflict between ICP and such foods, but that such foods are not suitable for people suffering from cardiovascular disease.
Is ICP applicable to cancer patients?
  • Cancer patients who intend to improve microcirculation and protect heart may take ICP.
Is ICP effective on chest pain?
  • Since chest pain may be caused by various reasons, you'd better go to the doctor for diagnosis and necessary examinations. If you are diagnosed with CHD, ICP will be your best choice.

Is there any scientific proof for ICP relieving arteriosclerosis?
  • Worldwide application of ICP has shown that ICP does lower blood lipid levels and relieve arteriosclerotic plaques. Studies by experts in recent years find that ICP shrinks arteriosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery. These scientific findings are really significant for us human beings, for they change the previous impression that arteriosclerotic plaques never turn small.

Tasly ICP Capsule

After a clinical application for eleven years and a tremendous amount of scientific experiments, Tasly ICP, a precious modern Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is proved to be capable of remarkable effects on protecting normal functions of blood vessel endothelium. It has been proven that long-term use of Danshen Plus can reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases and thus has healthy effects on the protection of the heart. Research shows that ICP Capsule assuages pain immediately in 40.2% patients and stops angina pectoris in 3-8 minutes in 48% patients with sublingual intake, achieving the total effective rate more than 88%. Moreover, clinical application reveals that Danshen Plus starts its effect as quickly as nitroglycerin, thus relieving pain immediately. In the 10 years of clinical application, Tasly ICP Capsule has proved to be effective in protecting against coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. Danshen Plus Capsule has good effects on other diseases such as metabolic syndrome, and has protective functions against heart diseases. Currently TASLY GROUP lunched ICP Capsule specially for South-East Asia. It will definitely benefit more people in the healthy or sub-health category bringing happiness and comforting relief to millions of sick people.

Through clinical observation and treatment of thousands of people with HIV and AIDS, clinical evaluation of the tongues of over 600 people with HIV infection and/or AIDS, and the use of pulse diagnosis, I have come to understand that HIV infection is triggered by Toxic Heat, and initially attacks the Spleen and Stomach Organ Systems. They are the central organs involved in this complex syndrome and must be supported throughout the entire course of the disease even when the HIV-related disharmonies expand to involve all the other organ systems as well.
The Impact of Toxic Heat
Toxic Heat creates the initial flu-like symptoms that for many people accompany initial exposure to HIV. And as the Toxic Heat moves more deeply into all systems of the body, it triggers a whole variety of common HIV-related symptoms: Pruritis (chronic itching), sore throats, increase in body temperature, feeling like you always have a fever even if one is not present, a nagging sensation that something toxic is present in the body.
Toxic Heat is also responsible for the cascade of Organ System disharmonies in the Spleen and Stomach, Kidney and Liver, which contribute to the major complication associated with HIV infection, wasting. (For detailed information on nutritional management and therapy see the Diet Therapy chapter beginning on page? and the three-part Wasting Program: The Daily Diary; The Cleansing Diet; the Anti-Wasting Program in The HIV Wellness Sourcebook.)
Role of the Spleen and Stomach Systems in the Progression from HIV to AIDS
The Spleen and Stomach Systems govern the digestive process, transforming food energy and fluid into Qi and Xue (blood). As a result the Spleen and Stomach moisten and nurture all the other Organ Systems and channels.
When Toxic Heat disrupts the Spleen and Stomach Systems, it triggers symptoms that are associated with the very early stages of HIV infection. These symptoms include:
  • fatigue
  • inability to gain weight no matter how much is eaten
  • stools
  • bloating, gas and flatulence and/or dull pain in the abdomen
  • needing to take naps after meals
  • Frequent infections.
In addition, symptoms of early stage HIV infection, such as dry skin and lips, set in when the flow of fluids and food essence from the Spleen and Stomach to the Lungs, is disrupted. Often dryness in one area, triggers dampness in another: Spleen Qi deficiency with dampness manifests in early neuropathy (a numbness or tingling sensation often in the hands or feet, lymphadenopathy (swelling and inflammation of the lymph nodes), vaginal candidiasis (yeast) infections, more serious loose stools and/or bloating. Spleen-related diarrhea is prevalent with loose stools and abdominal bloating after eating. Skin rashes, commonly associated with early-stage HIV infection, are a result of Spleen Qi deficiency and Lung disharmonies interacting with the essential substances.
Spleen Qi deficiency also causes deficient Xue (blood). Once this sets in, the door is opened to allow Toxic Heat to enter the depleted blood and penetrate ever deeper into the body. The body then moves into more advanced stages of HIV/AIDS. If unchecked, an increasing depletion of the fluids of the Spleen (the Spleen's Yin aspect) leads to overall Yin deficiency, which in turn can lead to Yang depletion.
Although today the combination of Western and Chinese therapies can arrest (for some period of time) the progression of HIV infection to end-stage AIDS for many people, when the cascade of Spleen-Stomach triggered disorders causes overall Yin deficiency and Yang depletion, wasting becomes severe. Diarrhea stops. The skin becomes drier and drier. Thirst is unquenchable. Fevers spike every afternoon and often in the evenings. The pulse is rapid, thready and superficial. This is a terminal stage of HIV disease. (ED: Yes it is called HIV disease.) Acupuncture and herbs are used to support the Shen (spirit) and the passing over to a new phase of existence.
Associated Disharmonies and Opportunistic Infections
Toxic Heat and the Spleen-Stomach disharmonies weaken the body's overall resistance to assault from both internal and external disease factors and allow other organ systems to become involved. This leads to the development of HIV-related disorders and opportunistic infections. For example, if Toxic heat assaults the Lungs, PCP (Pneumocystis Carinii pneumonia) may develop. Xue disharmonies are associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (a proliferative, circulatory cell disease that causes skin lesions); dampness is associated with candidiasis (yeast infections) and fungal invasions; Yin deficiency and Xue deficiency are associated with MAC (Mycobacterium Avian Complex) ; dampness and Spleen and Lung disharmonies may manifest as chronic sinusitis; disturbed Shen that is associated with mental disturbances that accompany HIV/AIDS; and many more.
Each of these syndromes is detailed in the individual treatment programs in the last section of the book. However, I wanted to make the point here that looking at HIV disease as an assault by Toxic Heat that starts with damage to the Spleen and Stomach, and moves on to include other organ systems and Essential Substances, provides a concise method of describing, diagnosing and treating the whole constellation of HIV-related diseases.
China's Tasly Pharmaceutical Group is planning to list its biopharma unit in Hong Kong to raise about $1 billion, in what is likely to be the largest biotech float in the city this year, people with knowledge of the matter said.

TASLY China


The plan comes as Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, the city's exchange operator, is proposing changes to its listing rules to woo early-stage drug developers.

Tianjin-based Tasly, well known for producing traditional Chinese medicines, aims to list its wholly owned biopharma arm - Shanghai Tasly Pharmaceutical in the second half of 2018, said the people. Shanghai Tasly is working with advisors on the proposed share sale, they added.

Details on the valuation of Shanghai Tasly and what percentage of the company is expected to be floated weren't available, said the people, who declined to be identified as they were not authorized to speak with the media.

The company is yet to decide whether to sell existing shares, or issue new shares, or do a combination of both, the people said.

Tasly and Shanghai Tasly didn't immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.

Shanghai Tasly's planned listing is expected to be the first in a series of biotech firms keen to test the Hong Kong market. Other hopefuls include Chinese biotech company Ascletis, Shanghai Henlius Biotech, a subsidiary of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical, and U.S.-based cancer detection start-up Grail, according to IFR, a Thomson Reuters publication.

Founded in 2001, Shanghai Tasly launched in China one drug aimed at treating blood-clot induced heart attacks, known as pro-UK, in 2012. It is also in the process of developing more than 10 other drugs, according to its website and one of the people.

In a consultation paper published late last month, HKEx said it will allow biotech companies at the pre-revenue stage to list in the city, subject to certain criteria, including that the firms must have developed at least one core product beyond the concept stage.

The stock exchange is expected to start accepting listing applications from such companies after the consultation process is concluded in April at the earliest. Currently, China's securities laws do not allow firms that have yet to turn profitable to go public on the mainland.

The plans are part of HKEX's broader move to attract blockbuster Chinese tech companies including Alibaba Group Holding that is already listed in New York, as well as the country's "new economy" companies, which range from biopharma firms to online retailers.

Chinese immunotherapy company BeiGene, Shanghai-based Zai Lab and Hutchison China MediTech, are all listed on Nasdaq, currently the preferred listing venue for mostly as-yet unprofitable biotech drug developers.

Hong Kong is hoping that easing rules for biotech listings and offering concessions to U.S. and UK-listed companies considering a secondary listing in Hong Kong will help it compete with New York and revitalize its IPO market, which has been dominated by Chinese state firms, other financial and property groups.

Shanghai Tasly is also considering a pre-IPO fundraising, said two of the people, although the size of the financing hasn't been finalised.

Organic products originate from “ecological and natural”, and emphasize no creature or products by gene engineer under production processing, without any synthesized pesticide, fertilizer, Growth regulators or feed additive. The production processing abbeys the nature and ecology, so the organic products are truly natural, fertilized, of high-quality, safe and environment-friendly.

“Deepure” comes out from “deep pure”, which means safely pure and absolutely healthy because of technological innovation.

The two actually connect!

Pu-erh tea, also spelled as Pu'er tea, is a variety of fermented dark tea produced in Yunnan province, China.Fermentation is a tea production style in which the tea leaves undergo microbial fermentation and oxidation after they are dried and rolled.[4] This process is a Chinese specialty and produces tea known as Hei Cha (黑茶), commonly translated to dark, or black tea (this type of tea is completely different from what in West is known as "black tea", which in China is called "red tea"). The most famous variety of this category of tea is Pu-erh from Yunnan Province, named after the trading post for dark tea during imperial China.

In the city of Pu’er, the material origin of Deepure, are 45,000 hectares of well-preserved subtropical primeval forests, where the 2,700-year-old ancient Puerh tea tree king is still standing upright with verdant leaves as if to tell people the long history and tremendous vitality of Puerh tea.

Pu'er traditionally begins as a raw product known as "rough" Mao Cha (毛茶) and can be sold in this form or pressed into a number of shapes and sold as "raw" Sheng Cha (生茶). Both of these forms then undergo the complex process of gradual fermentation and maturation with time. The recently developed Wo Dui process (渥堆) pioneered by both the Menghai and Kunming Tea Factories has created a new type of pu-erh tea of which some traditionalists dispute the legitimacy. This process involves an accelerated fermentation into "ripe" Shou Cha (熟茶) which is then sold loose or pressed in various shapes. All types or pu-erh can be stored for maturity before consumption and that is why it has become common for the products to be labelled with year and region of production.

Made from premium leaves of the large-leaf variety planted at eco-friendly high-altitude regions in Pu'er, Yunnan province by scientific biological fermentation and state-of-the-art processing techniques, Deepure contains highly-concentrated instant submicron Puerh essence, which consists of Puerh factors composed of scientifically formulated tea polyphenols, theabrownin, tea polysaccharide and theine. Featuring strong aroma, ruddy color, delicious taste and instant dissolution, the additive-free Deepure can be enjoyed at any time and absorbed by human body in no time to quickly play its healthcare effect.

Darkening tea leaves to trade with ethnic groups at the borders has a long history in China. These crude teas were of various origins and were meant to be low cost.Darkened tea or Hei Cha, is still the major beverage for the ethnic groups in the southwestern borders and, until the early 1990s, was the third major tea category produced by China mainly for this market segment.

There had been no standardized processing for the darkening of Hei Cha until the postwar years in the 1950s where there was a sudden surge in demand in Hong Kong, perhaps because of the concentration of refugees from the mainland. In the 1970s the improved process was taken back to Yunnan for further development, which has resulted in the various production styles variously referred to as Wo Dui today. This new process produced a finished product in a manner of months that many thought tasted similar to teas aged naturally for 10–15 years and so this period saw a demand-driven boom in the production of Hei Cha by the artificial ripening method.
Nowadays human health is impaired by the excessive blood lipids, blood sugar, cholesterol and fat accumulated in the body. Drink Deepure to lower your body burden, better your health and improve your physical condition.

To enjoy a cup of strong or weak Deepure, take 1-2 sachets and pour adequate water;Use lukewarm water to achieve the original flavor

In recent decades, demand has come full circle and it has become more common again for Hei Cha, including Pu-erh, to be sold as the raw product without the artificial accelerated fermentation process.

Pu-erh tea processing, although straightforward, is complicated by the fact that the tea itself falls into two distinct categories: the "raw" Sheng Cha and the "ripe" Shou Cha. All types of pu-erh tea are created from máochá (毛茶), a mostly unoxidized green tea processed from a "large leaf" variety of Camellia sinensis (C. sinensis assamica) found in the mountains of southern Yunnan.

Maocha can be sold directly to market as loose leaf tea, compressed to produce "raw" Sheng Cha, naturally aged and matured for several year before being compressed to also produce "raw" Sheng Cha or undergo Wo Dui ripening for several months prior to being compressed to produce "ripe" Shou Cha. While unaged and unprocessed, Maocha pu-erh is similar to green tea. Two subtle differences worth noting are that pu-erh is not produced from the small leaf chinese varietal but the broad leaf varietal mostly found in the southern Chinese Provinces and India. The second, is that pu-erh leaves are picked as one bud and 3-4 leaves whilst green tea is picked as one bud and 1-2 leaves. This means that older leaves contribute to the qualities of pu-erh tea.

DEEPURE TEA

COMING TO AFRICA SOON!!!

A cigarette is a small paper-wrapped cylinder (generally less than 120mm in length and 10mm in diameter) of cured and shredded or cut tobacco leaves which is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder for the purpose of allowing inhalation of its smoke from the other end, inserted in the mouth. The term, as commonly used, typically refers to a tobacco cigarette, but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as cannabis (aka marijuana) (see below).
A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of processed leaf, and paper wrapping; cigars are typically composed entirely of whole leaf tobacco. A small, cigarette-sized cigar is called a cigarillo. Cigarettes were largely unknown in the English-speaking world before the Crimean War, when British soldiers began emulating their Ottoman Turkish comrades, who resorted to rolling their tobacco with newsprint.
Manufacture and ingredients
In practice, commercial cigarettes and cigarette tobaccos rarely contain pure tobacco. Manufacturers often use a tremendous variety of additives for a number of purposes, including maintaining blend consistency, improving perceived blend quality, as preservatives, and even completely changing the organoleptic qualities of the tobacco smoke. Some cigarettes (known as kreteks, clove cigarettes, or simply cloves) have cloves blended with the tobacco, to enhance the smoker's pleasure by numbing the mouth and lungs and providing a mild euphoric effect. Lower quality clove cigarettes simply have a clove essence added to the tobacco.
In addition to additives, cigarette tobaccos, especially lower quality blends, are often highly physically processed. During the original processing of leaf for cigarettes, the leaves are deveined, and the lamina is shredded or cut. Since the leaf is relatively dry at this point, these processes result in a significant amount of tobacco dust. Manufacturing operations have developed procedures for collecting this dust and remaking it into usable material (known as reconstituted sheet tobacco).
The removed leaf midveins, which are unsuitable for use in cigarettes in their natural state, were historically discarded or spread on fields, because of their high nitrogen content. Procedures have been developed, however, to "expand" the stems, and process them for inclusion in the cigarette blends. All these procedures allow cigarette manufacturers to produce as many cigarettes as possible using the least amount of raw materials as possible.
Packet of Cigarettes
The most common usage of the cigarette is tobacco smoke delivery. The second most common usage of the cigarette is for marijuana smoke delivery. The hand rolled cigarette is the most common form of marijuana cigarette. Marijuana users will usually twist the ends of the cigarette to prevent fine cut marijuana buds from falling out. Tobacco users who roll their own cigarettes, however, will usually not twist the cigarette at the ends; hand rolling tobacco is made in strands so doesn't have a tendency to fall out.
Some cigarette smokers roll their own cigarettes by wrapping loose cured tobacco in paper; most, however, purchase machine-made commercially available brands, generally sold in small cardboard packages of 20 cigarettes. Commercial cigarettes usually contain a cellulose acetate or cotton filter through which the smoker inhales the cigarette's smoke; the filter serves to cool and somewhat clean the smoke.
These days, cigarette rolling machines are also becoming quite popular. One can purchase tobacco in pouches or cans, usually at half the price of what one would pay for a the same amount pre-rolled. One can get a rolling machine that makes filterless, or "straight" cigarettes, or one can purchase a machine that packs the tobacco into a pre-rolled form with a filter. These filtered papers usually come in boxes of 200.
There are many different types of cigarettes,
Hand Rolled Cigarettes from Rolling papers
Unfiltered Cigarettes (no filter)
Regular Filtered Cigarettes (Regular Size)
Light Filtered Cigarettes (Are not as Strong)
Ultra-Light Filtered Cigarettes (Very Weak)
Regular Filtered 100s (Longer)
Light Filtered 100s (Longer, Are not as Strong)
Ultra-light Filtered 100s (Longer, Very Weak)
Regular Slim 120s (Very Long, Skinny)
Light Slim 120s (Very Long, Skinny, Are not as Strong)
Ultra-Light Slim 120s (Very Long, Skinny, Very Weak)
Menthols (Have smoke that induces a cooling sensation)
Slims (Cigarette is of smaller diameter)
Wides (Cigarette is of larger diameter)
Color Coding on Commercial Cigarette Packs
Red packs usually means Full Flavor
Gold packs usually means Lights
Light Blue, or Silver usually means Ultra-Lights
Green usually means Menthols
Very Dark Red usually means Unfiltered
Before the Second World War many manufacturers gave away collectible cards, one in each packet of cigarettes. This practice was discontinued to save paper during the war, and was never generally reintroduced. On April 1, 1970 President Richard Nixon signed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act into law banning cigarette television advertisements in the United States starting on January 2, 1971. However, some tobacco companies attempted to circumvent the ban by marketing new brands of cigarettes as "little cigars;" examples included Tijuana Smalls , which came out almost immediately after the ban took effect, and Backwoods Smokes , which hit the market in the winter of 1973-1974 and whose ads used the slogan, "How can anything that looks so wild taste so mild?"
The sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to minors under 18 is now prohibited by law in all fifty states of the United States (in Alabama, Alaska and Utah the statutory age is 19, and legislation was pending as of 2004 in some other states, including California and New Jersey, to raise the age to 19, or even 21 in some cases). Similar laws exist in many other countries as well. In Canada, most of the provinces require smokers to be 19 years of age to purchase cigarettes (except for Alberta and Quebec, where the age is 18). However, the minimum age only concerns the purchase of tobacco, not use.
In Massachusetts, minors are allowed to smoke as long as the cigarette was given to them by a parent or guardian.
Premier was a smokeless cigarette released in the USA in May 1988 by RJR.
Contents of a cigarette
The leaves of the tobacco plant are first dried to make cigarettes, and then treated with a variety of chemicals and many additional ingredients are added. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Some of these include:
Acetone
Aluminum
Ammonia
Arsenic
Benzene
Butane
Cadmium
Caffeine
Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide
Chloroform
Copper
Cyanide
DDT/Dieldrin
Ethenol
Formaldehyde
Hydrogen cyanide
Lead
Magnesium
Methane
Methanol
Mercury
Nicotine
Tar
Vinyl Chloride
The amount of these ingredients can vary widely from one brand or type of cigarette to the next. This is especially true of the tar and nicotine content, the range of which is so extreme that an entire carton of some brands of cigarettes (e.g., Carlton) might contain less tar and/or nicotine than a single cigarette of a "full flavor" brand.
Consumption
Approximately 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced globally each year by the tobacco industry, smoked by over 1.1 billion people.
History
The use of tobacco in cigarette form is a relatively recent invention, becoming increasingly popular after the Crimean War. This was helped by the development of certain types of tobaccos that are suitable for cigarette use. During World War I and World War II, cigarettes were rationed to soldiers. During the second half of the 20th century, the adverse health effects of cigarettes started to become widely known.
Health effects
Tobacco use, notably in cigarettes, is one of the major causes of preventable death. Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage and underweight infants. Smoking increases the chance of heart attacks and a variety of cancers. Smokers may look older than nonsmokers of the same age, because smoking can increase wrinkling in the skin. Smoking increases the metabolic rate, and thus can slightly reduce a smoker's weight.
Nicotine is quite an effective appetite suppressant, and former smokers often develop junk food habits as they attempt to satisfy their tobacco cravings with snacks. One-third of those who stop smoking experience a weight gain.
Cigarette smoking is one of the major causes of lung cancer, a major cause of death amongst smokers. Certain other lung disorders, most notably emphysema, are also blamed on cigarette smoking. The tobacco industry tried for many years to deny this link, and to oppose medical research that attempted to prove the link. The absolute risk of lung cancer from smoking is on the order of one in eight, but the exact risk level varies depending on intensity and duration of use, as well as radon exposure, which is the primary other cause of lung cancer.
In addition, children and pets may be poisoned from eating cigarettes or cigarette butts.
