BENEFITS OF BITTER LEAF PLANT..

In recent times, i have come to understand and appreciate the benefits of bitter leaf. It is commonly used for the preparation of bitter leaf soup but it can be taken as a tea or juice. I have a garden of bitter leaf plant which was planted by my mother-in-law. It took me months before i used it in preparing soup. I and my husband rarely take swallow but of late we have started taking it but mostly bitter leaf soup and bitter leaf juice.

Bitter leaf plant is an important component of many local cusine especially in our country Nigeria where it is used in the preparation of bitter leaf soups, bitter leaf tea, and for medicinal purposes. There are several health benefits of bitter leaf plant these includes:

1. Bitter leaf contains Anti-cancer properties.
2. Bitter leaf helps in High blood pressure control.
3. Bitter leaf helps in Gastro intestinal disturbances i.e it plays a key role in resolving conditions related to digestion.
4. Bitter leaf is a cure for headaches, migraine and flu.
5. Bitter leaf contains Anti-diabetic properties i.e it is very useful in the reduction of blood glucose.
6. Bitter leaf Juice and tea boost fertility by aiding the detoxification of the liver and kidneys. Estrogen a very important fertility hormone which helps to stop ovulation during pregnancy is eliminated in the liver which is also responsible for balancing all reproductive hormones. A balanced hormone profile increases the chances of fertilization and conception.

The detoxification work of bitter leaf help prevent the pollution of antibodies that helps the body fight diseases and initiate tissue repair and regeneration. it can boost the fertility of the ovaries and also eliminate ovarian cysts and premature ovarian failure.
