Studies have showed that at very low concentrations Syrian Rue is
effective at gram positive bacteria and will synergize with the
antibiotics novobiocin, colistin and carbenicillin (1). It also
has excellent temperature stability, allowing it to be stored at room
temperature for long periods (1). Gram positive bacteria is one of the
main bacteriums responsible for toothache and severe pain conditions
related to 'over reacting' nerve swellings and blood vessels. One of
the main bacteria responsible
for tooth decay is Streptococcus mutant (2 page 512). This makes
Syrian Rue an excellent extract to keep in case of a severe
toothache. Syrian Rue has been shown to kill the bacteria
Streptococcus mutant (3).

The little heard of life-extending properties of mung bean are easy too
overlook. First of all Mung Beans are a powerful antioxidant (1),
second they have anti-diabetic effects (2) and it has shown to exhibit
anti-bacterial activity in meat (3). And like ginger, mung bean
powder has been shown to soften tough meat (tenderizer) (3).
Significant
Anti-Aging Properties
The life-extending properties of the mung bean comes from the substance
known as Vitexin. One study found that mice fed an extract /
tincture of Mung Bean lived an average of 70% longer than the control
group (4) and the coating exterior of the seed consists of 96%
antioxidants (5). Mung beans may just be one of the most powerful, yet
little known, anti-aging substances today.
