Hello everyone here,
Happy Tuesday how is your new week going hope is going smoothly.
My first post here I love anything natural that is why when I saw this community I decided to be a part of this community so good to be here.
Today post I'm gonna share this natural medicine I made for my self. Before now I use to hate anything natural since English drugs was the order of the day in my family. Whenever any one is sick in our home the first thing that come into our mind was normal taking of drugs even if it work or not but so far is medicine and you have to take it completely if not you will be punish for not taking your treatment compulsory. But the funny part about all this was after some days you will still feel the same pains again and the same drugs will be prescribe to you. The only time anything natural will be mention to me will be whenever I visit my grandmother of the blessed memory in the village. Once she saw me all you will heard from her is oh my granddaughter you are not find I can see from your eye. Your eye is not pure white is greenish - yellow. I will be like what Grandma greenish - yellow? She will say yes it is the sign you have malaria before you know natural medicine will be introduced and I will run either cry to go back to city so that I will escape that natural medicine.
But today the story is not the same and my grandma is late. My aunty introduced me to natural medicine and now I prefer that natural medicine to English drugs. So Today I want to share with this house how good is this leaves I don't know how you called it over there.
But here everyone recognize this leaves as
HOSPITAL LEAVES OR YOU CALLED IT HOSPITAL IS TOO FAR.
Once you mention this leave in my place everybody knows it. I never knew that this leaves is as good as that until I took once with milk and glucose for strength. I later discovered from some older women that this leave is good for treatment of heat. As in internal heat, healing of wound rapidly, for strength and also body builder.
So today me I'm taking for two things
- Strength
- Treatment of internal Heat.
I woke up today very weak and when I touched my body I was a little hot so i send a call to one of my aunty that stay in the village she ask me to prepare this leave and take it as tea. So I decided to post it here in natural medicine hive for the benefit of others who may also want to try it with me.
This tree is very active when the white water from the tree touches your skin it can cause skin irritation like rashes and swelling at that spot. So some people put on groove before cutting this leaves since I didn't have grooves I use kitchen knife to cut it and I was very careful because I didn't want even the leaf to touch me.
Another thing is that since I didn't have some to help me in the snapping I'm the one snapping myself and also do the cutting and prepare it so I think the knife idea was okay.
After I cut them into bowel
I pour them on the table with the help of knife I remove them from the stem.
I rinse it with water
Pour the amount of water I needed into the bowel, then squeeze it to bring out the juice this particular aspect you need to use your two hand so as to squeeze it well but since no one was there to help in taking the picture I use one hand while the other hand I used it to squeeze it.
This is how the water will look like when you squeeze it. The juice from the leaf then mixed with the water and you have this green juice.
After which I used sieve to separate the water from the squeeze leaf.
This I filter it into a tea cup am using as you can see from the picture
Am not going to add anything to it I'm going to take it like that Raw. is not that sweet but is not bad at least is not bitter so is okay to take.
Thank you very much for your time I hope this post was useful too to someone here.
I love you all.
