Hello Everyone!
We have healing properties all around us and we are just oblivious to them. Apart from getting plantains and bananas from the plant did you know you could get other benefits from the plant? I would like to share with everyone what I have learnt about the wonders of this wonderful plant. So I recently discovered how many plants around us have numerous benefits and today being what I love to call "Wellness Wednesday" let's discuss the benefits of a plant stem that I've just discovered.
I stay alone in another city away from my family and I recently went back home to my family home. When I got home I told my mom that I was having some stomach issues and she took me to the garden, she said she would find something there to heal me.
We have numerous plants in our garden and plantain is one of the plants we have in abundance. My mom told me about what wonders plantain stem water can do.
I was shocked, when did plantain stem start having waters? And what benefits could it possibly have?
I do not doubt my mom because of course she doesn't consume anything just for the fun of it and so she confirmed the potency of this discovery to me, she had initially spoken to her friend who was a doctor and the doctor confirmed it's potency to her.
I was more curious and so she told me more about it and the process of getting the water.
It is known that when ever we harvest plantains the plant dies so before the plant dies we can get water from the plant for about a week before it dies completely.
The process of getting the water is simple, after harvesting your plantain, we cut the plant into half, cut a hole in the middle of the plant because that's where the water will drain into.
Then cover it with a plastic bag or the plantain leaf and secure the base with a rope, after 24 hours, go back to the plant and you'll be surprised to see that enough water for a glass cup has been drained into the hole that was created.
What you would typically get is a clear water not different from a regular tap water in clarity.
Scoop out the water into a cup and drink it. Simple as that.
The water is tasteless and has a lot of benefits.
Benefits include:
- Weight loss
- Dissolving kidney stones
- Helps with normal bowel movements
- General well-being.
Few minutes after taking this water, I honestly felt relieved and I hope to drink this water till the plant runs dry.
Have a good day everyone and have a wellness Wednesday!
