Butterfly Pea is a herb that my mom grows in the house’s garden. When I was young I didn't know it is many health benefits. But I knew that Thai people use it for drawing on the babies' eyebrows because they believe it will help the hair grow fast and bushy but I don't know.it's true or not? Many Thai people's houses grow because it is easy to grow, has flowers for the whole year and the flowers are beautiful also.
