RE: The Diary Game: "I've found Shy Plants Today" - 30/06/2020
It is said to be the best herbal medicine for kidney stones through cooking its roots into a boiling water and then drinking it.
Absolutely, its roots have many other benefits too such as treatment of piles, dysentery, sinus, alopecia, diarrhea, etc. It is anticonvulsant, antibacterial, aphrodisiac too.
In my childhood, I had a lot of fun with this plant, in our native language we call it "Laajvanti".
If you touch it, it will close the leaves. But it also closes its leaves when the sun sets; so as it is set biologically the closing of leaves is relatively slower as compared to when you touch it.
This #thediarygame post reminded me of my childhood days.
Steem on.
Wow I didn't know it has many other benefits. I'm glad to know this. Thanks a lot @sapwood ! I'm also glad that this post has been a way for you to look back your childhood days. :)
Yes exactly. It took me to my childhood memories and even in Ayurveda both leaves and roots are used in a number of medications. It really works. Thank you.
