BBC 私房药 第一季第四集 药草妙用
天然药物由来已久 Natural medicine is far from new phenomenon.
人们用植物入药已有千年之久 Plants have been used medicinally for millenium.
但自从合成药物出现以后 But since the development of synthetic drugs,
我们很可悲地逐渐对它们不屑一顾 we've sadly begun to dismiss them.
我想让人们重新认识植物 I want to make people to think differently about both plants
以及传统草药 and traditional medicine.
许多人只把植物当作是 A lot of people think about plants as
点缀户外花园的饰品 a sort of pretty soft furnishing of your outdoor room.
除了漂亮 别无它用 as stuff looked lovely and that's the end of the story.
但对于任何已知的文明而言 But to every culture that's ever existed
植物的意义远不止于此 plants are so much more than that.
虽然许多植物未经临床验证 Many plants haven't been clinically tested,
因企业没有传统药方的专利权 because the traditional remedies that companies can't patent.
但我们深知植物中富含大量药用成分 But we do know a lot about the chemicals that plants contain,
也清楚它们的功效 and how they might work.
药草是自然界中最有价值的植物之一 Herbs are amongs nature's most useful plants.
但在我看来 我们根本是有眼不识泰山 But in my opinion, we simply don't realize their potential.
人们认为药草是自家厨房 People think of herbs as kind of thing you find in your
调味架上的小料 in your spice rack in your kitchen,
只能为餐宴增香提鲜罢了 the kind of things you use to punch up dishes in your dinner party,
但这真是太大材小用了 but they are so much exciting than that.
草药栽培已经有数千年历史 They've been grown for thousands of years.
不过是在最近一百年间 And only in the last hundred of years or so,
才突然沦为香料 变得不值一提 they've suddenly become something just flavor and nothing else.
但即便普通园艺药草也有强大药效 But even common garden herbs have powerful properties.
买本好的参考指南 Invest in a guide book
你就能知道如何挑选和配制它们 so you know which plants to use and how to prepare them.
对陌生的药草 切记要做过敏测试 And as with any new ingredient, you should check you're not allergic.
我想向大家介绍如何种植药草 I want to show you how growing your own herbs,
这不仅简单快捷 it's not only a really easy
而且行之有效 but generally pratical way
可轻松应对各种日常病症 in treating all sort of everyday conditions.
我要用香蜂草叶 I am going to turn lemon balm leaves
制作治疗唇疱疹的护唇膏 into a soothing lip balm to treat cold sores;
教大家自制草药磨砂膏来节省开支 save you money by showing you how to make your own herbal body scrub
把普通杂草变身为蚊虫叮咬膏 transform a common weed into a cream for bites and stings;
以及用百里香来清新口气 and use thyme to fresh your breath.
哇 这玩意真冲 Woo, that's strong stuff.
这并非临床实验 They are not clinical trials,
结果也会受多种因素影响 and many factors can influence results.
但我想知道我的私房药 But I want to find out if my remedies
能否帮助有需要的人缓解病痛 relief the symptoms of people in need of help.
真没想到 I am surprised.
口感很不错 It's actually quite nice.
真是让人佩服之至 That's a really impressive stuff.
如果你想在自家种植药物 If you want to grow your own drugs,
药草是最容易上手的 herbs are the easiest place to start.
你不需要高超的园艺技巧 And you don't have to be green finger
或庞大的花园才能付诸实践 or have huge garden to give it a go.
但凡有心 即使是窄小的厨房窗台 With kind of a planting choice even on a tiny kitchen window or so,
也能栽培四种适宜的药草 you can have four decent species
成为你生生不息的药箱 that give you a living medicinally kit.
一年四季源源不断 That will last you all year around.
如果想种点粗生粗长的药草 If you are looking for easy-to-go herbs
选这几种准没错 熏衣草能帮助睡眠 you cann't go wrong with lavender to help you sleep,
鼠尾草能治感冒和流感 sage for treating colds and flus,
迷迭香通常用于改善血液循环 rosemary traditionally used for treating circulation.
而香蜂草则用于抗病毒 and lemon balm with its anti-viral properties.
栽种柠檬香蜂草绝对是明智之选 Lemon balms are absolutely brilliant herbs to have in your garden.
顾名思义 它散发香气四溢的柠檬味 As a name suggests it has a really fizzy lemon flavor.
香蜂草犹如杂草能迅速蔓延 Lemon balm spreads like a weed
因此你要勤于修剪 so you have to cut it back.
正好藉此制作治疗唇疱疹的私房药 It's the perfect excuse to use in my first remedy for cold sores.
香蜂草常用于治疗各种小病小痛 Lemon balm has been used for all sorts of disorders
从舒胃饮料到舒压茶汤都有它的身影 from a calming drink for the stomach to a relaxing tea.
但实际上 最为人熟知的莫过于 Actually it's most famous use
它的抗病毒功效 is really as, as an anti-viral.
用于感冒和流感 也可治疗唇疱疹 You take it for coughs and colds and also treating things like cold sores.
五分之一人都曾得过唇疱疹 Cold sores effect one in five of us,
它是让人至为尴尬的毛病之一 and are one of life most embarrassing afflictions.
我希望这个香蜂草药剂 I am hoping my lemon balm remedy will help
能帮助两位饱受唇疱疹之苦的女子 two women who suffer with cold sores for most of their life.
我唇上总是长着巨大的泡 Me, for huge, if I said it's great big bulb thing on my lip.
当我觉得别人看我的时就会不自在 When people I thought they are looking at me I am conscious of,
就会像这样低着头 I kind of put my head down like that
希望他们看不到 and I hope that they are not seeing it.
总把头发往脸上拨动 And I pull my hair around my face a bit
希望大家别看到我的唇疱疹 and hope that they are not looking at my cold sores.
我真的觉得很难受 It really does make me feel grim.
有段时间 将近一年前吧 I had a time about, not quite a year ago now,
我有近两个月 每周都长唇疱疹 where, I had a cold sore every week for nearly two monthes.
我那时很不开心 压力也很大 I was really unhappy at that time. I was quite stressed.
就是总也治不好 And then, I just can't get rid of them.
不怕你笑话 我去过一家知名药店 I honestly, I went to a known pharmaciest
然后就站在那放声痛哭 and just stood there burst into tears.
市面上很多药物我都试过了 I have tried so many other things on the market.
并没几种是有效的 And not a lot of things do work.
我希望能有治好它的办法 I want to know I can just fight it,
从此不必再忧心忡忡 and not have to worry about it any more.
香蜂草含有植物精油及多酚酸 Lemon balms contain essential oil and polyphenolic acids
它们有抗病毒的特性 which have anti-viral properties.
两者能共同缓解炎症 These combines to reduce inflammation
治疗病毒引起的唇疱疹 and treat the viral cause of cold sores.
我给大家的配方是纯天然的 I've come up with a recipe that's 100% natural
希望能够在Lisa和Anita身上奏效 that I really hope work for Lisa and Anita
我准备做香蜂草护唇膏 I am gonna make a lemon balm lip balm.
说再快点试试 Try saying that three times as fast.
这切碎了大概有21汤匙的量 So we've got about 21 chop tablespoons we should turn into.
这就够装满一小瓶的 And that's just for one tiny little pot.
但它会像杂草那样疯长 占满你的花园 But as it grows, as a complete weed, and invade your whole garden,
剪下来入药 那是物尽其用了 it's a great way to hack it back and that should give you a use.
快速清洗一下 就可以开工了 Just give it a quick rinse and we are off.
不要以为唇膏非常非常的难 People think the lip salve are really really difficult to make.
它基本上就是油 再加些蜡让它凝结 It's basically oil, with a tiny bit of wax in it to make it thick.
诀窍在于让叶里的有效成份浸入油中 The key is to get the goodness out of the leaves and into the oil
成为唇膏的基质 which forms the basics of the lip balm.
仔细切碎叶子 然后分成三份 So chop the leaves really finely and divided them into three batches.
先放七汤匙的量到平底锅中 Add the first seven tablespoons to a pan.
倒入三汤匙半的小麦胚芽油 Pull on three and a half tablespoons of wheatgerm oil,
和三汤匙半的橄榄油 然后文火加热 and three and a half of olive oil. And pot it on a low heat.
当看到出现细小的气泡 The second you start to see a little tiny bubbles,
就马上关火 静置十分钟 you want to take it straight off the heat, and leave it for about ten minutes,
此时你就能悠哉游哉地清扫理垃圾了 which gives you just enough time to clean all the rubbish out the way.
十分钟后 After ten minutes,
叶子中的活性成分就都溶入油中 the active ingredients from the leaves would've been infused into the oil.
用筛子滤出汁液 Strain the liquid through a sieve,
用力揉捏 尽量把叶中汁水挤出 and squeeze the leaves to get most out of them.
这步是我的至爱 This is my favorite bit about
弄得一塌糊涂 满手黏黏糊糊 making the mess, getting your hands all slimy and cover in gum.
没有这个谁愿意干呀 太无趣了 Without any of this, who do it wouldn't be any of fun.
把过滤的油重新倒回锅里 Put the strained oil back into the pan
加入第二份香蜂草叶 and add the next batch of lemon balm leaves.
再重复这个步骤两次 And repeat the process two more times.
三次之后 虽然厨房变得乌烟瘴气 After the 3rd time, you'll have a really messy kitchen,
但超浓缩精华油出炉了 but a really concentrated oil.
要把它变成齿颊留香的唇膏 To turn this to a luscious lip balm,
还得小火重新回炉 put it back on a low heat,
加入一汤匙的蜂蜡 add a tablespoon of beeswax,
这在大型健康食品店就有售 which you can find in big health food shops,
再加一汤匙蜂蜜 and a tablespoon of honey.
加入蜂蜜有两个作用 By popping some honey in, it does two things.
首先是功效性 It has functional benefit,
可以加速疮口愈合 because it helps speed the healing of wounds,
它是抗病毒的天然良药 it's also naturally anti-viral.
但同样重要的是 But equally as important,
它给唇膏以香甜的味道 it gives the lip balm a decent flavor.
一直搅拌直到蜂蜡完全融解 Keep stirring it until the beeswax melted.
可以看到液体的表面 You start to see a little, little, little
漂浮着很多小泡沫 foam appear on top of the surface,
说明这时候 油已变稠 that is when you know that the oil is thickening
而蜂蜡已经完全消失无踪了 and the wax, is just completely disappeared.
关掉火源 Take off the heat
加入五滴茶树油 and add 5 drops of tea tree oil,
有助于唇膏的保鲜保质 which will help preserve your lip balm.
在液体凝固前 倒进瓶中 Before the liquid sets, pour it into a jar.
冷却之后颜色会改变 When it cools, it will change color
看上去更像唇膏 and begin to look a lot more like a lip balm.
不到十分钟就凝固了 And in less than 10 minutes it's set,
基本上你就做成了一瓶唇膏 and basically what you create is a lip balm
用的全是自家花园的材料 from stuff you in back own,
放在冰箱足够用六个多月 and it'll last for well over 6 months in the fridge
在药橱里也能存那么久 and about that in your medicine cabnet.
你感觉要长唇疱疹时 The lip balm can be applied to the infected area
马上将唇膏涂抹在患处 as soon as you feel a cold sore coming on,
直至痊愈为止 and until it goes.
Anita和Lisa使用前做过24小时皮试 Anita and Lisa did a 24-hour skin test
然后连续五天涂抹唇膏 before applying lip balm 5 days.
这并非临床试验 It wasn't a clinical trial,
不过是否有效呢 but did it work for them?
我很喜欢 I love the balm
它涂在患处 味道极好 because I can put it on and it smells nice,
使用前 使用后
它能舒缓我的唇患并保持滋润 it soothed my lip and it didn't dry out.
水疱消失了 The blister disappeared
不过疱疹的边缘部分 but the cut to the light sore has actually been
好像比我使用之前 a little worse than I remember been
反而更严重了些 with the way when I use it before.
使用前 使用后
不过唇疱疹消退得更快些 But there the cold sore, went the way quicker.
实际上还是积极有效的 So it's... it's kind of positive,
不是无效的 and not negative really.
我一定会继续使用的 But I think I definitely will use it.
我现在就在用第二瓶了 I was on the other one now.
这护唇膏对我快速有效 The fact that this worked so quickly for me
也让我为此信心大增 is going to boost my confidence.
我可以随时用它 Because I can wear all the time
就不用总是低着头 and I don't have to hang my head low,
不必因为嘴上恐怖的唇疱疹 trying pull my hair over my face at the school gate
而不停在学校门口拨头发遮盖脸部 because I have got this hideous cold sore on my lip.
与之前介绍的私房药一样 Like all of my remedies,
它们对某些人疗效更好 they were better for some than others,
不过如果你饱受其害 but if you're suffered,
我希望你可以试试它是否有用 I really hope you'll see if it works for you.
白金汉郡 切尔吞山
保健植物在我们身边随处可见 Plants with heath benefits are growing all around us.
只要懂得去哪找它们就行 It's just about knowing where to look.
能找到藏在野外无人发觉现的 It's so excited for me to see medicinal plants
药用植物真的很让人兴奋 hidden in the wild with no one else could find them.
这一种植物尤其难找 This particularly one is difficult to find--
早花百里香 长在英国的野生百里香 Thymus praecox-- it's the wild thyme you get in UK.
大家常见的或烹调用的那种来自南欧 The one you see and the one you use in cooking is from Southern Europe,
它们要比这大得多 but it's much much bigger.
不过与其他品种的百里香一样 But like all different varieties of thyme,
这也含有百里酚 this one contains thymol,
一种非常有效的抗菌剂 which is a powerful anti-bacterial agent.
就是你在牙医那见到的粉色药剂 It's the pink stuff that you see in the dentist,
倒是跟花本身的粉色相映成趣 kind of can reflex the pink flowers at the house.
由于野生品种与人工栽培的百里香 As wild kind contains basically the exact same
所含成分基本完全一致 interesting principles as gardon thyme,
就让它继续做闲花野草吧 I think I will leave this one in the wild.
我准备用百里香做口气清新剂 I'm gonna use thyme to make a breath freshner.
许多人每天都要用到漱口水或口香糖 Many of us use mouthwash or chew gum on a daily basis.
Vimala是一名化妆师 Vimala's a makeup artist,
因此她格外注意保持自己口气清新 so she's specially conscious of keeping her breath fresh.
我需要为客人脸部化妆 It involves me making people's faces up,
我通常会凑得很近地和她们说话 so I'm quite closely involved and speaking to them in quite short distance.
张开眼 往下看 Open your eyes but look down for me.
我到哪都随身带着口香糖 I don't leave home without my mints,
放在手提包 小手袋 always with me in my handbag, in my pouch,
还有裤子口袋 到处都有 in my back pocket, there there.
我觉得给人化妆时 I think it's so important
保持口气清新真是太重要了 to behave a good fresh breath when doing makeup,
你肯定不想面对客户时 because you don't want to breathe
满嘴难闻的大蒜味 awful garllic breath on any of the customers.
百里香是花园里 Thyme is one of the easiest herbs
最容易种的药草之一 to grow in your own back gardon.
这种学名就叫百里香 是最常见的品种 This is Thymus Vulgaris, or common thyme.
把它种在干燥的土壤内 It thrives in well-drained soil
有充足的阳光就能欣欣向荣 and sunny position.
我的百里香口气清新剂含有百里酚 My thyme breath spray contains thymol,
一种非常有效的抗菌剂 a powerful antiseptic agent.
百里酚能杀死口腔里的病菌 Thymol kills germs and bacterias in the mouth
保持口气清新 helping to keep breath fresh.
我希望Vimala在学会调配 I'm hoping Vimala will be chucking out the mints
我教的清新抗菌的口腔制剂后 when she's learned how to make my remedy,
可以摆脱口香糖 which is fresh and anti-bacterial.
我有些好东西要给你看 I got some really good stuff to show you.
这都是些什么 And what is it you got here?
这些东西可以制成口气清新剂 It's gonna be a breath spray to give you fresh breath,
用的是职业牙医使用的抗菌剂 using anti-bacterial agents that used in commercial dentistry.
信不信由你 那就提取自 And belive it or not, those found,
我们眼前的这堆叶子 in the bunch of leaves you got in front of us.
好的 Okay.
百里香拥有强大杀菌功效 Thyme with its powerful anti-bacterial properties,
是制剂的主要成分 is the key ingredient.
不过我同时还加入了薄荷叶和桉叶 But I'm adding mint and eucalyptus leaves
以大幅提升喷剂的杀菌功效 to give my spray an antiseptic boost.
-给你这束百里香 -干嘛 - And I'll give you a bunch of thyme. - Why?
你所要做的不过是 All you gonna do here is basically liberate
把其中的有效化学成分 the really exciting chemicals you want to use,
从叶子中释放出来 and get they out in the form is easier
让我们更容易调配 for us to get our hands on.
将百里香 桉叶 薄荷的叶子剥下来 Strip the leaves from thyme, eucalyptus and mint
粗略地切成碎片 and roughly chop.
你会在家里使用草药吗 Do you use herbs at home?
用过很多 Loads of it.
我通常会在超市里买很多盆回家 I used to buy pots of it from the supermarket.
但是从来都活不久 And it never used last.
他们就是把太多太多的种子都 What they do, is they plant loads of loads
种在了一个盆里 of small seeds in one pot.
所以你会看到在短期内 So what you get in a very short space of time,
植物茂密苍翠 is a really bushy lush looking plant.
但这不能持久 They never really last,
所以人们总是养不活它们 and that's why people don't have success with them.
然后大家会觉得种植草药很难 And they think that growing herbs is difficult.
但是只要方法正确 But if you plant them properly,
轻而易举就能种好它们 then they are the easiest thing to grow.
加入桉叶5片 Add 5 chops eucalyptus and
薄荷和百里香各10汤匙到搅拌器中 10 tablespoons of both mint and thyme into a blender.
其实就像是在 We're basically
调配冰冻玛丽[鸡尾酒] making like Frozen Margarita
只是不加冰而已 just with no ice.
加入大约200毫升伏特加 I gonna pour in about 200ml.
我要做最最浓稠的草药混合物 I gonna make the most concentrated mixing you can think of.
加入伏特加后 After the Vodka,
削一只柠檬的皮放进去 add the peel of one lemon
丁香和茴香籽各加入3茶匙 and 3 teaspoons of both cloves and aniseed,
它们有一定的抗菌效果 which are mildly antiseptic.
放入搅拌器 Pop it in the blender
搅拌成翠绿的糊状 and whiz till a bright green paste.
你肯定喜欢 闻闻看 You'll love this, smell this.
试试看 闻上去怎么样 Have a go. See what it smells like to you?
天哪 好冲鼻啊 My God! It sticks out my nose.
气味很烈啊 It's a strong stuff.
肯定不算温和 It's certainly not mild.
但绝对清新 But it's intensely fresh.
闻上去几乎就像口香糖了 It smells like chewing gum almost.
不过还没做完 But it's not ready yet.
这个混合物要静置一个月 The mixture needs to sit for a month
才能做成高浓度的酊剂 to become a concentrated tincture.
把它装入密封的罐中 Spoon it into an airtight jar
倒入伏特加酒封顶 and seal it with a layer of Vodka over the top.
将酊剂存放在阴凉避光处 Keep the tincture in a cool dark place.
放置的时间越久 The longer you leave it,
口气清新剂的效果越强 the stronger your breath spray will be.
这是我之前做的 想看看吗 Here's one I made earlier, you want to see that?
这看起来像一坛泥沼 It looks a bit sort of swampy
并不怎么诱人 and it's not the most attractive.
里面还有这些草浆 You'll have this pulp in it.
所以还要进行过滤 So you just gonna strain it through
去掉其中的零碎杂质 to get rid of any bits and pieces that's sitting there.
用网布过滤混合液 Strain the mixture through a piece of muslin.
我来帮你拿着 I'll hold it for you.
太感谢了 Thank you very much.
我要是不溅到你的话就算是奇迹了 If I can get this without spilling it on you it'll be a miracle
来了 but here you goes.
你做到了 Hey! You did it!
瞧瞧 Look at that.
虽然溅起不少水花 没有漏出来 Lots of splashing, not so much spilling.
没有 No.
现在这东西的颜色 Now it doesn't look like the most
看起来并不好看 exciting colour in the world,
但这的确很管用 however this stuff will work.
最后再加四汤匙的甘油 Finally add four tablespoons of glycerine
让它变得浓稠和香甜 to thicken and sweeten the mixture.
这随便在哪家药店都能买到 You can buy this at any chemist.
尝尝看 现在很关键 Here you go. It's a crucial moment.
告诉我你觉得它味道怎么样 Tell me what you think it tastes like.
这里含烈酒 It's powerfully alcoholic,
所以别吃太多 so you don't want to take too much of it.
我很惊讶 I'm surprised.
这其实味道很好 It's actually quite nice.
并且这有一点草药的余味 And it's got a slight herby edge to it.
确实 Definitely.
但它的抗菌作用很强 But it's very antibacterial.
这正是我们所要 That's the key thing we're looking for.
用一个类似的喷瓶 Using a pump dispenser like this one
每次只会喷出少量的酒精 will only give you a tiny amount of alcohol with each spray,
还不到一毫升 we're talking less than a millilitre.
味道好冲 Whoa! That's strong stuff!
试试看 试试看 Go, give it a go, give it a go.
我得... Oh I've got...
是的 味道是很冲 很有效 Oh yes, it's strong, it's powerful.
看着它做出来 But actually watching it being done
真让我大开眼界 很棒 was quite an eye opener, brilliant.
我很喜欢 I love it.
这个我就留着了 谢谢 I'll have one of these, thank you.
你可以在大型的保健品商店 You can buy pump dispensers like these
买到这样的喷瓶 from big health food shops.
喷剂在阴凉避光处可存放六个月 And this spray will keep for up to six months in a cool dark place.
在厨房时Vimala很喜欢这个清新剂 The breath spray was a hit with Vimala in the kitchen
但我想知道她在工作时有没有用它 but I'm keen to find out if she's been using it at work
还有她在家里有没有尝试制作 and whether she's tried to make it at home.
一天午饭后我用了 I used it after a lunch one day
我吃了味道很重的东西 and I did have something quite strong
我喷了两下 and I squirted just two squirts
薄荷味很浓 and it was quite minty
香气在我嘴里保持了足有一小时 and it stayed in my mouth for at least a good hour
我感觉那种薄荷味就停在我的嗓子里 and I just felt that mintiness right at the back of my throat.
如果有时间我会自己做的 If I had the time I would make it.
因为我觉得它的确能留香持久 Because I think it does last a long time
并且制作也很简单 and it's quite easy to do.
如果你在乡间待过 If you spend time in the country,
你就知道被蚊虫叮咬和荨麻刺伤 you'll know what it's like to get bitten by insects
是什么滋味了 and stung by nettles.
所以我准备做一种润肤膏 So I'm gonna make a soothing cream
来帮助两位喜爱户外 to help two people who love the outdoors
但也深受困扰的人 but pay the price.
一位生态环境保护者和一位越野跑爱好者 A conservationist and a cross-country runner.
通常我在乡间 I usually do races
跑上25到30英里 for about 25-30 miles across country,
至少会被叮个两三次 usually get bitten at least two or three times.
最让我烦恼的是发痒 The thing that annoys me most about the bite is the actually itchy,
你得不停地抓 and you have to keep scratching.
很烦人 It's annoying.
我会不会被蛰到 Will I get stung?
是否会被荨麻蛰得要看是什么季节了 The nettles, depends on the time of year
但也可能被蛰到会痒整天 but it can be all day they can be,
痒个不停 you know, itching away there.
我要找一种膏药 I wass looking for a cream or gel
当我被咬了 马上涂上 that I can put on as soon as I've been bitten
就能满上消肿止痒 that will take away the swelling and the pain,
这样我就可以尽情快跑 so I can just carry on running as quickly as I can.
牛津郡比克斯 公共绿地
我知道有种传统的常用植物 I know a plant that's been used traditionally
或许可以帮助他们 that might help them.
这是英国最常见的一种野草 It is one of Britain's most common weeds.
随便一块草坪都可能长有这种草 And if you've got a lawn it's probably already growing there.
这就是小车钱或者叫长叶车前草 This is lesser plantain or Plantago lanceolata
它的名字源于它矛尖形的叶子 and it's called that because of its lanceolate leaves
许多世纪以来它都被当作伤药使用 and it's been used for centuries as a wound healer.
维京人用它来治疗战伤 The Vikings used it to treat battle injuries.
我觉得它最棒之处在于 And I think the best bit about it is
你不用在自己花园里种植它 you don't have to plant this in your back garden.
它是种常见的野草 能自己繁殖 It's a common weed, it'll plant itself.
不过当你要除草时 It's just a matter of when you're doing your weeding,
与其把它扔去堆肥 instead of chucking this on the compost heap,
不如把它做成各种药剂 if you know what to do with it,
只要你懂得怎么调配就行 it can be used for a whole host of different remedies.
下回你在乡间远足时 Next time you're out on a walk in the country
如果你被荨麻或是昆虫蜇了 and you get stung by nettles or an insect,
手边就有一种简单的药方 there's an easy remedy to hand.
只要捡一片车钱叶子 Just pick a plantain leaf,
咬几下 give it a couple of bites
这就可以破坏细胞结构 to break down the cell structure
让汁液流出来 and let the juice out
再把它擦在患处 and rub it on the area
它能帮助减轻炎症 and it really helps bring down inflammation
以及由此而来的疼痛 and also the pain that's caused by it.
其实在你周围随处都长有趁手的急救箱 So you have a ready first aid kit to hand growing in the fields around you.
我的药方里用到的任何植物 Whichever plants you use in my remedies,
你必须完全明白要找的是哪种 you need to know exactly what you're picking
因为并非所有都安全 as not all are safe.
车钱草叶子是夏末的最好 Plantain leaves are at their best in late summer.
不过我的润肤膏用新鲜草叶做成 But my soothing cream can be made fresh
储存起来随时可用 and then stored for whenever you need it.
车前草润肤膏含有甾醇和多酚 My plantain cream contains sterols and polyphenols,
它们有不同的作用 which work in different ways.
昆虫咬伤和荨麻刺伤会引起 Insect bites and nettle stings can trigger
过敏反应 造成炎症 疼痛和发痒 allergic reactions causing inflammation, pain and itching.
甾醇有抗组织胺的作用 Sterols have an anti-histamine effect,
可以减轻过敏反应 reducing the allergic reaction
多酚可以降低炎症反应 and polyphenols bring down the inflammation.
制作乳膏听起来好像很复杂 Making a cream might sound complicated
但基本上只要三种原料 but the base is just three ingredients,
油 水和能使它们混合的乳化剂 oil, water and an emulsifier to make them mix.
本质上当你要做乳霜或药膏时 Essentially when you make any cream or salve,
至关重要的是 the only thing you're really looking to get
提取叶中化学物质融进药膏中 is get the chemicals out of the leaf and into the salve itself.
切碎它们有助于 If you chop 'em up you basically help break down
打破细胞结构 some of that cell structure
从而释放我们需要的物质 to release the ingredients you're looking for.
我要放一把叶子放进油里加热 I'm going to heat a handful of leaves in oil
而剩下的放进开水里浸泡 and infuse the rest in boiling water.
这好像很奇怪 但我这么做是有原因的 It might seem strange but there's method to my madness.
因为车前草里的某些物质 Because certain chemicals in plantain
可溶于水而被水萃取出来 are extracted by water and they soluble in water
而另一些则可溶解于油 and certain ones are in oil.
用两种不同的溶剂可功效倍增 So by doubling up and providing two different solvents,
由此确保我们所需的各种化学成分 you're just covering yourself to make sure all the chemicals that you want
都能从车前草里提取出来融进乳膏 are coming out of that plantain and into your cream.
在一个锅里倒入沸水并静置十分钟 Pour boiling water into one pan and leave it for ten minutes.
其他叶子加入两汤匙杏仁油加热 Heat the other leaves in two tablespoons of almond oil.
许多人没有意识到 A lot of people don't realise this,
其实做乳膏就像做蛋黄酱一样 but making cream is just like making mayonnaise.
人们以为这得要有个大型制药实验室 People think you need a huge pharmaceutical lab
和有一堆科学家的研究院才成 and a fancy institute with lots of scientists working.
不过就是把油和水混合起来 It's oil and water mixed together.
通过添加乳化剂 And by adding an emulsifier,
使得水油交融 which is basically allows oil and water to mix together,
就能做成乳膏 you have a cream.
现在能做的就是等 And it's just about waiting, really,
充分加热 让碎叶中的有效成分 until the combination of heat and the sort of chopping up
释放出来 gets the constituents out.
当你开始能闻到这种味就可以了 And you'll know that, when you start being able to smell them,
闻起来有点像炒菠菜 香甜并带点铁味 it smells a bit like spinach cooking, sweet and irony.
将油性溶剂过滤到干净的锅里 Strain the oil infusion into a clean pan.
加入两汤匙的乳化蜡 Add two teaspoons of emulsifying wax,
可以在网上买到 which can be bought online.
只要从纯蜂蜡蜡烛上 And to thicken the cream,
掰下拇指大小的一块 all you need is a thumb-sized piece
就足以让乳膏变稠 from a pure beeswax candle.
小火搅拌直到蜡完全熔化 Stir over a low heat until all the wax has dissolved.
拿起另一个盛有水性溶剂的锅 Take your other pan with the water infusion
滤去叶子 and strain to remove the leaves.
过滤时会闻到清新的古龙水味 When you strain this, it smells just like a fresh cologne.
可能是因为大部分古龙香水中 And probably beacuse up to a quarter of most cologne
四分之一的成分都是车前草 are plantain weed anyway, so it's probably that...
所以可能才会有这种味道 that's responsible for much of that smell.
真是一模一样 清新且香甜 But it's really identical. Fresh and lovely.
在油中加入十六汤匙水性溶剂 Add sixteen tablespoons of the water infusion to the oil mix
不停地搅拌 and keep stiring.
好了 来瞧瞧 There we are. Check it out.
冷却之后就开始凝结成乳状 It's just going together as it cools down.
开始看着有点像沙拉酱了 And it starts looking like salad dressing
不过更像蛋黄酱 as it looks a bit more like mayonnaise
即便最昂贵的面霜基本也不过如此 which is what...even the poshest creams, basically are.
再添加两茶匙甘油 Add two teaspoons of glycerine.
最后点睛之笔 添加防腐剂 And as a final touch, I'm gonna add a preservative.
这是纯维C粉 不是什么有害东西 But it's nothing dodgy, it's actually pure vatamin C powder.
一茶匙足矣 然后就大功告成了 Just add a teaspoon and you are done.
我们只用了短短20分钟 So in a matter of just 20 mintutes,
就将新鲜的车前草叶做成药膏 we've gone from a bunch of fresh leaves to a cream.
成功把叶中的有益成分一一萃取出来 This manages to draw all of the good stuff out of the leaves.
最后最拉风的一步就是装瓶 And all you are gonna do now as the final coolest stage is to package it up.
这个可以在冰箱里存放三个月 This will keep in the fridge for 3 months
而在冷库里可以存一年 and in a freezer for up to a year
让你能够拥有简便易得的急救药品 giving you an easily accessible first aid remedy.
和以前一样 这不是什么临床试验 Like old tests, it's not a clinical trial.
但这对那些户外爱好者能否奏效呢 But did it work for my outdoor enthusiasts?
经过24小时的皮试后 After doing a 24-hour skin test,
他们将药膏抹到患处 they applied it to the affected area.
我觉得这个车前草药膏 I feel the plantain cream was a lot more effective
比我们以前用的东西都有效 than the normal stuff we used.
更浓稠且见效更快 It's a lot thicker, went on a lot quicker,
迅速消除炎症 took the yeah inflimation away,
现在我可以马上继续奔跑了 now that I was carrying on running straight away.
我觉得药效显著 I can definitly feel
减少了刺痛感和灼烧感 it's less irritating less buring.
用车前草 With plantain
这些在野地上无人问津的杂草 I think it just the weed grows in undisturbed ground.
你可以自己采摘原料 And you can collect all the ingredients
倒进锅里一混合 and stick them in a pot and mix them up.
然后就倒腾出这么有用的东西 And then you got something useful at the end of it.
真是让人佩服之至 I mean that's really impressive stuff.
若叮咬蛰刺让你游兴大减的话 So if bite and sting spoil your enjoyment at the countryside,
我的药膏或许能帮你忙 a pot of my cream might just help.
我的妙方不仅能让你免受痛苦 My recipes aren't just for making you feel better,
还可以起到美容功效 they could also make you look better.
我国每年在美容产品上 As a nation we spend 10.5 billion pounds a year
消费达105亿英镑 on beauty products.
而自制美容品能省下一大笔开销 But making your own could really save your money.
接下来我要给大家展示 I am gonna show you how to make a body scrub
怎样利用最常见的园艺植物 薄荷 using one of the most common garden herbs,
制作磨砂膏 peppermint.
你可以在本地超市买薄荷 You can buy from local supermarket,
而即使选购苗圃里 but the best quality in the hardest plants
最优质的薄荷也所费无几 can be picked up for just couple quid in your local nursery.
这就是薄荷 This is peppermint.
这不仅是传统制药也是现代制药中 And it's one of the most widely used plants in both
用途最广泛的药材之一 traditional medicine and actually modernday medicine.
其中的主要活性成分是薄荷醇 The main active consitituent in it is menthol,
它几乎无处不在 you will see it in everything
从口香糖到大量的主要化妆品 from chewing guns to quite a host of important cosmetics.
再到药品 and medicinal product.
我将薄荷用在草本磨砂膏中 I am using peppermint in my herbal body scrub
这样会让你的皮肤水润 滑腻 清香 which will make your skin look, feel, and smell great
而这花费甚少 but without the expensive price tag.
有个词目前 It's quite a trendy word
在科学界相当时髦 going on around sort of scientific communities
甚至比在营销界还要火 or much more than marketing communities.
叫做药用化妆品 顾名思义 And it's called cosmeceutical, and supposedly,
就是药妆混合 a mix or half way between
或者介于化妆品和药品之间 a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical product.
不过你完全可以自己制作药用化妆品 But really, you can make a cosmeceutical.
我在家中调配的每一剂私房药 At my home, pretty much every remedy that I make
并不仅限于化妆美容之用 is not just a cosmetic for cosmetic sake.
而是集成了各种生物疗效的美容品 It's a cosmetic that has a biological collection that makes you look better
能够调理身体 让美丽由内而外 by improving your health in a certain very specific way.
我还要加入另外两种药草 I am combining peppermint with two other herbs,
迷迭香和桉树叶 rosemary and eucalypt leaves.
这样当然是为了使气味更佳 The idea is basically to get a nice mixture of scents
而在疗效方面 为了以防万一 but also for a...an affectivity point of view,
不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里 not put all your eggs in one basket.
将各15克切碎的药草放入碗中 Put 15 grams of each chopped herbs into a bowl,
加入两只柠檬皮碎末和一汤匙黑胡椒 and add the peel of two lemons and a tablespoon of black pepper.
这闻起来真是提神醒脑 This smells absolutly incredible.
绿野的清香混合着 That mixtures of green foresty scents
柠檬香和黑胡椒浓重的味道 with citrals and the deep richness of the black pepper gives.
这么做的目的 And the aim now is to
就是将各种味道 capture all of those scents
全都溶解到油里 in an oil base.
向锅中倒入300毫升橄榄油 Add 300 millilitre of olive oil to the pan
文火加热 and heat gentlely.
开始冒泡的时候盖上盖子 Once it starts to bubble,
这样才能保存精油不挥发 put the lid on to trap the essential oil.
两分钟后关火 After two minutes, take off the heat
将溶液倒到网布上过滤 and strain to a piece of muslin.
使劲拧 Give it a good twist
尽量拧得一滴不剩 and just hopefully you get the last few drops,
就这样 look at that.
残留在里面的精油 There is always so much more hiding in these herbs
比你想得要多 than you think there is.
现在该加磨砂剂了 Now you are ready for your exfoliant
这东西没准儿自家碗橱里都有 which you probably have in your kitchen cupboard,
400克粒状海盐 400 grams of granulated sea salt.
当你购买价钱不菲的花哨海盐磨砂膏时 When you buy a really fancy sea salt scrub for a huge price tag,
保不齐里头三分之二都是这些东西 up to 2/3 of it is probably just these stuff.
知道那些商家有多黑心了吧 So it's just astonishing how much they can charge.
而剩下的三分之一就是油 The rest of third is oil.
所以买海盐磨砂膏买的其实就是盐和油 So when you buy sea salt scrub, you are paying for salt and oil.
只需将油充分搅拌 What you need to do is stirring just enough oil
然后就得到均匀的 so you end up with quite a smooth
糊状磨砂膏 almost like paste-like consistency.
将混合物装入平底罐 Put the mixture in a keeler jar.
最后点睛之笔 零星撒几丝柠檬皮 And for the finishing touch, sprinkle on some slice lemon peel
数片桉树叶和一点鲜黑胡椒末 and a few eucalypt leaves and some freshly ground black pepper.
最后 用剩余的精油封顶 Finally, seal with a layer of remaining infused oil.
这就搞定了 And there you go.
这就是我自己做的药用化妆品 I've made my own cosmeceutical product,
只用到油和盐 Mad from oil and salt
所费估计还不到一英镑 and that cost probably less than quid to make.
