Hello everyone,
I hope you are in good health. Today, I am going to share with you one medicine plant I don't know the English name of this plant but here in South India, it is called Karpuravalli. The plant is very fragrant and has the smell of Karpuram (camphor) and it has a lot of health benefits I am going to list a few.
When we planted it we had very little hope for the plant but after watering it for months and keeping it in shade the green was back. The plant looks healthy.
One of the most common uses of Karpuravalli leaves is in treating colds, soar throats, and coughs. You can take a few leaves and extract the juice and after diluting with a little warm water you can have it soothes the sore throat. It has been very useful to me because the climate here Chennai, gets very extreme and with that, it brings a lot of health problems.
Another way of using this medicinal plant is to drop in a couple of Karpuravalli leaves in boiling water and inhale the steam it helps with the blocked nose and the cough.
I heard the leaves can be used in the preparation of dishes like rasam and chutney but I have not tried it yet maybe I will try it one day and share with you the result.
Thank you for reading my blog stay healthy and stay prosperous
