What are the benefits and effects of morning glory? Latest interpretation
When we were young, we often picked a morning glory by the roadside and then pulled out the pointed section of its stem and stuck it in our ears as an earring. I believe all you flower lovers have had this experience! Morning glory can be used as medicine. Its black seeds can reduce swelling and also expel worms. Below, Shuai Shuai will help everyone learn about its benefits and effects!
1. Benefits of morning glory
1. Diarrhea
This effect is good for some people and bad for others. The seeds of morning glory contain a relatively large amount of pharbitin. Once this substance encounters bile and intestinal fluid, it breaks down into pharbitin, stimulating the intestines to produce peristalsis and causing diarrhea. If you have eaten the wrong thing, you can try this effect~
2. Diuresis and reducing swelling
Morning glory can promote urination and reduce swelling. If you have limb edema or nephritic edema or even ascites due to cirrhosis, you can use morning glory to treat it.
3. Treating insect bites
The leaves of morning glory can be used as medicine for treating insect bites. They can not only treat mosquito bites but also treat centipede and wasp stings. If bitten, you can take three or four leaves and rub them in your hands. After rubbing out the sticky juice, rub it together with the morning glory leaves onto the bitten area, and it can immediately relieve pain and itching.
2. Uses of morning glory
1. Ornamental
Morning glory is a flower with relatively strong survival ability. No matter what environment it is in, it can survive. Keeping a few pots in the backyard or in the living room can beautify the home. If planted in the courtyard, it can be allowed to climb and grow along the wall. Its branches and leaves are emerald green, and its ornamental value is very strong. Whether for care or appreciation, it is a good choice, and its colors are diverse and the flowers are brightly colored.
2. Medicinal
The part of morning glory used as medicine is the seed. The seeds contain pigments, fatty oils, organic acids and other components, which are beneficial to human health. If ground into powder and applied to the face before bed, then washed off with clean water the next day, it can eliminate spots.
That is all Shuai Shuai has to say about the benefits and effects of morning glory. As the saying goes, every medicine has some toxicity. Only by using it in a reasonable way can its value be brought into play. It must absolutely not be taken orally. The seeds of morning glory are somewhat toxic, so never take them orally~
