Annual malvacea plant that can reach 1 to 3 meters in height. It reproduces by self-fertilization. Its flower is red, 4 to 5 cm long, formed by five petals and has a conical shape, which resembles a small amapolla. This plant has received considerable attention from researchers, mainly for its nutritional and medicinal properties, which makes it acceptable in many places.
Preparation of the rich juice of Jamaica
Ingredients:
• One cup of Jamaica flower petals.
• 8 cups of water.
• 6 tablespoons of sugar (if you prefer.)
Steps:
• Remove the petals from the jamica flower.
• Add a cup of flower petals in a bowl.
• Add 4 cups of water and boil for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Cover the container and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
• Strain the water in a new container.
• Add 4 cups of cold water and place sugar if you wish.
• Serve in your glass with ice and enjoy.
Benefits:
• It is a drink with a high diuretic power, which will help us eliminate liquids.
• Relieves menstrual pain.
• Ideal to relax.
•Improves digestion.
• It is laxative, since it helps relieve constipation.
• It is excellent for combating alcoholic hangovers.
• Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides.
Contradictions:
• Attention with low blood pressure: If you are hypotensive, you should be careful with the anti hypertensive effect that this plant has.
• Demineralizing effect: Being a diuretic plant, the prolonged consumption of this plant could generate a certain deficit in very important minerals for health such as potassium or sodium. It can also cause diarrhea, as it has depurative and somewhat laxative properties.
• Relaxation of the uterine musculature: It should be noted that the only possibility of this effect alone, contraindicates its use in pregnancy, since it would increase the risk of suffering a miscarriage.
• It can produce allergic reactions. Finally, the flower of Jamaica could be a cause of allergy in people sensitive to some of its active components. For this reason, if after your intake causes some type of allergic reaction you should suspend its consumption and resort to the doctor, in order to establish the real cause of said allergy.
In particular I would advise that if you like it or are enthusiastic about taking it, consult your doctor or do an intense research online to know in depth its benefits and contraindications. Everyone's body can react differently to any product since we are all different in our mental and spiritual physical health. Plants and fruits provide necessary inputs to our body to replace nutrient deficiency. It is good to remember that everything in excess can damage.
Much health and blessings for all. See you in a next reading.
