Hello wonderful women of @steemwomen community, I am glad to participate in this contest by @ngoenyi though its my first and I will be talking about natural remedies for African women and their homes.

INTRODUCTION

Health is wealth they say, but I say health is living and everyone struggles for that within their means, that is why I will be sharing some natural, concrete and reliable remedies I know which women can use for their health and their homes. The remedies I'll be sharing include remedies for high blood pressure, convulsion, internal heat, blood building and fertility and cough. Though our natural medicine is gradually becoming extinct due to the introduction of mordern medicine, I hope you learn from my remedies just as I have learnt from yours.

Coconut

USE :coconut is an effective solution to reducing high blood pressure and reducing the effect of drugs.

Preparation: peel off the husk of the coconut, that is the hairy part until its hard shell is exposed, burn it in fire but make sure do do not break the shell, do not over roast it that the shell breaks and the water spills, after some time, break out the water and keep it to cool before drinking

Side effects: none that I know of, but you may feel bloated if you drink too much of it at a go just like when you drink too much water, so I recommended u take 3 coconuts each time.
