Nature's Gift: LEMONGRASS
Hello everyone,
Today, I want to share with you an herb that helped my mom--lemongrass!
As you see, we have a plenty in pots. A dear friend once told us that their house in the province is surrounded with lemongrass in order to shoo away bugs and mosquitoes. This was how we got the idea of putting them in pots in our entrance door. And it worked! Now, we don't have a problem of mosquitoes hanging around our screen door, waiting for their entry. Tsk!
Then my mom's friend have told her that lemongrass is good in regulating blood pressure. Having been taking her medication for hypertension for over three decades, she gave lemongrass a try. She believes that there's nothing harmful in nature's gift, so why not try it for herself.
As she is constantly monitoring her blood pressure, when she noticed that it was normal, she consulted with her doctor if she still needs to take her medication. Her physician adviced her to closely monitor her blood pressure, and shouldn't drink meds if it is normal.
So, my mother is no longer taking her prescribed hypertensive medicines for more than three months now. It only takes a cup of boiled lemongrass water, enjoyed as a tea, to regulate the blood pressure.
I do not have high blood pressure, but I join my mom as she enjoys this natural gift from nature.
I am sharing this with you, because somehow I know that this can help you in one way or another. But please consult with your medical practitioner.

Lucky you to have it yourself. Good to know it helps your mom. What more is she doing to fight high blood pressure?

Yeah, I'm so glad that lemongrass grows here.
For her hypertension, she takes oral medication everyday. Until she finds out about lemongrass. She just boils the lemongrass leaves, then drinks the boiled water.
When she's in pain, and her blood pressure shoots up, then she has to take her medications. But other than that, her bp is controlled with just the "lemongrass tea."
That is amazing. It also is amazing what nature can do. 💕

Yes. I mean, I have nothing against western medicines, but if there's something that nature offers, we prefer it. Hahaha! 😂😊

Thank you @riverflows. And thank you for initiating this contest. 😊
Yes, it cost less (almost nothing for us); we only need to water it once a day. If I'm not mistaken, my mom's medicine cost $1 per day. So, she's saving a dollar every single day!!! I was even joking with her, to have a piggy bank with her savings! Hahaha! 😂
You should give it a try. Nothing will be lost. 😊😊
Thank you, once again.
