Slightly bitter and very popular flavor vegetable on the Brazilian table. Watercress is an excellent anti-inflammatory of the airways, very indicated in chronic bronchitis. It also acts against a very modern evil: nicotine - although, of course, no plant will ever erase its havoc.

Scientific name:

Nasturtium officinalis

Popular Names:

Water cress

Medicinal purposes:

Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, can be used to treat thrush, gingivitis, acne and eczema, it helps improve digestion and treat cough.

How to use:

Simple digestion of watercress releases expectorant substances that help clear the airways. It can be consumed in salads, beaten in juices or taken in teas (1 tablespoon of dried leaves to a cup of boiling water tea three times a day).

Attention!

Because it is abortifacient, watercress infusion should not be consumed by pregnant women. In addition, the excess usually irritates the lining of the stomach and the urinary tract. It should not be ingested by anyone who has ulcers and inflammatory kidney diseases.
