Benefits Of Jatropha Tajorensis (“hospital Too Far”, Ugu-oyibo, Iyana-ipaja) by jeff1607(m): 3:31pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
Seen many articles on different plants on how beneficial they are to our body,but one plant is usually left out that grows at our backyard.it is one of the most underutilized medicinal plant. SCIENTIFIC NAME : Jatropha tajorensis FAMILY : Euphorbiaceae COMMON NAMES :Catholic vegetable, Iyana-Ipaja (Yoruba), Ugu-Oyibo (Igbo), “hospital too far” (Pidgin English) PART(S ) USED : Leaves This vegetable is planted and consumed by indegenes of Southern Nigeria. The volume of consumption of this plant is, by my own estimation (I stand to be corrected), more in the west and mid western states of Nigeria. The importance of this vegetable to human nutrition and wellness is still not fully harnessed and given its due place. It is still one of nature’s underutilized herbs in this part of the world. However, the simple fact that many know it as “hospital too far” alone is quite gratifying and is at the same time also an indication of its healing potentials which are known to selected few in our community. Jatropha tajorensis addresses several disorders and pathological conditions in the body. Enumerating them one after the other would create the impression that this vegetable is almost a cure-all. Nevertheless , I won’t shy away from mentioning just 6 health benefits of consuming “hospital too far” just to buttress its medicinal values. 1. As a SUPER ANTIOXIDANT herb, Jatropha tajorensis is good at preventing the onset of degenerative diseases; it is excellent in knocking off free radicals and stemming the harm on vital organs resulting from oxidative stress. 2. It is beneficial in the treatment of DIABETES MELLITUS and this is due to its confirmed HYPOGLYCEMIC action. 3. This vegetable is useful in the treatment of MALARIA. 4. Many patients have benefited in using this plant to manage their HYPERTENSION health challenges. 5. Jatropha tajorensis is an excellent BLOOD BUILDING herb and as such can be recommended to treat ANEMIA in young and old. 6. It supports SPERMATOGENESIS (formation of sperm cells in the testes) . Big things and big results always lie in “small” things. When we start paying attention to these “small” things in our immediate environment we start achieving BIG RESULTS . Good health and disease treatment and management is still within the scope, grasp and understanding of an average lay person and has not yet gone nuclear and digital. It’s all about what you believe, eat, live and think http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in/hjcb2/img/field/Jatropha%20tanjorensis/DSC_0082.JPG culled from:http://www.healthbubbles.com/gb 5 Likes 1 Share

BigYash: Why, please? |
Re: Benefits Of Jatropha Tajorensis (“hospital Too Far”, Ugu-oyibo, Iyana-ipaja) by fweshface: 11:35am On Sep 06, 2023 |
BellaLuce: Its not good when taken raw. To get the full benefit boil in water before eating it. I will recommend you also consider soursop leaf and efo iyanapaja tea. Take Apple, oranges and banana each day. Dont eat much fat from meat. Eat less bean due to the gas in it. Its good you drain the first water used to boil beans to reduce the gas. Call for other asthma related matters O7O 6S28 26I7 First aid to asthma treatment Food for asthma +more Inhaler is very expensive now You can live longer with asthma even without your ventoline inhaler or aeroline inhaler Stay healthy |
