Morning walk is always good for health. But sometime meeting few people on the way may get you some valuable information too, like I had today. It was a good morning walk to find some hidden health benefits of a wild flower. Locally called "Kariya" flower.

I had my walk, and was doing my regular stretching when , I saw an old man plucking some White little flower. He is village local priest, and had his bag full of those flower. It was again a natural Whiteness that attracted my attention.

I didn't took my phone along so I brought some flowers at home. Little Whiteness along the big Leafes. The flower tree is not too big and is hardly 7-8 feet but have many in our jungle. Definately looking from top would feel like white bed. The flower which blossom during this season is considered to be having many medicinal benefits. These little flowers have a mild fragrances too. Holding in my hand few bunches I can smell it and feeling good.

I excitedly asked the priest of the purpose of plucking so many of them, and he replied he will have them in his breakfast. My curiosity to know more led him to share the entire process.

• Washing the flower.
• Boiling the flower.
• Drinking the boiled water
• Frying the Flower with Oil mixed with chopped Onion and Tomatoes.

Well that is kind of entire breakfast preparation that he shared. I further asked about the benefits of eating these flower, and he said, he alongwith many villagers having these flower since long , and these flower helps in

• Controlling Diabetes level
• Blood Purification
• Removing all kind of Stomach problem.

These flower are seasonal, so what they do in off season and he smiled and replied, they use to have the barks of the plants and use to have them washed and boiled and drink the water empty stomach.

Well, I am not sure, of the benefits, but looking at the priest so active even at 70 I believe he may be right. Also, I am not aware of the name of the plant and flower but looking at Google the closer I get is Holarrhena Pubescens.

The area where I lived is not so modern and many people still relies on old home remedies rather than consulting a doctor (unless & untill in extreme serious scenario). Looking at the priest and how he plucking those flower, I believe there is some secret benefit on these flowers like other home remedies. Hopefully, the Vedic Ayurveda also started with jungle with all kind of wild herbs and shrubs. And may be this flower too have already made its name.

Anyway, I love to see more insights on this flower from everyone, especially from my @naturalmedicine members. May be they bring more information on its uses and help me get more valuable information

Stay Calm....

Keep Steeming...Steem On !!!
