What is the function of morning glory

effect

Watch

Morning glory is a good ornamental flower in the garden. It can be used as a shade in small courtyards, in front of living windows, and to beautify fences. Plant it in the courtyard, let its stems climb and grow, the branches and leaves are green, and the flowers bloom around the vines, which is very beautiful. Whether for maintenance or appreciation, morning glory is a good choice, and cultivating it in various colors makes it more colorful.

Medicinal

The medicinal part of morning glory is the seeds. The black seeds are called "black ugly" and the beige ones are called "white ugly". The seeds contain pigments, fatty oils, organic acids and other ingredients, which are beneficial to human health. "Heichou" is often chosen for medicinal use, as it has the effect of purging water and promoting diuresis. Grind it into powder, apply it to the affected area before going to bed, and wash it off with clean water the next morning. Continue this for a week to eliminate spots.

But it should be noted that all medicines are poisonous. Since morning glory seeds can cure diseases, they must be toxic to a certain extent. Never take them directly orally.

effect

diarrhea

I don't know whether this effect is good or bad. Morning glory seeds contain a lot of petuniasin, which breaks down into petuniasin when it encounters bile and intestinal fluid in the intestines, thereby stimulating the intestines, speeding up peristalsis and causing diarrhea.

Diuretic and detumescent

Morning glory has a very good diuretic and detumescent effect. If you have limb edema, nephritis edema, or even ascites due to cirrhosis, you can use morning glory to treat it, because morning glory is effective in treating such diseases.

Treat insect bites

The leaves of morning glory can be used as medicine to treat insect bites. Morning glory can not only treat mosquitoes, but it is also very effective in treating bites caused by centipedes and wasps. Take three or four morning glory leaves, rub them with your hands to produce a kind of mucus, and rub the bitten area together with the morning glory leaves. It will immediately relieve the pain and itching, and there will be no water flowing out afterwards.
