Dear community of @naturalmedicine. On this occasion I want to tell you about Fregosa, a plant that many people have in their garden, not knowing its medicinal value. In this post I talk about the benefits of this plant for health.

The fregosa or Capraria Biflora belongs to the genus Capraria of the escrofulariáceas family. This plant is native to America.

Description

The fregosa is a perennial herb, very branched, can reach up to one meter in height. Its leaves are pointed and elongated. This plant contributes in many occasions to the revegetation of soils.

At the tip of the stem grow some bell-shaped flowers, small, white. Its fruits are oblong seeds that fall once the capsule that covers them has dried.

Medicinal properties

This plant can treat different conditions such as: joint pain, diabetes, gonorrhea, diseases associated with the uterus and the urethra.
It is also attributed properties to treat diseases of the digestive system, high fevers, colds, hypertension, diabetes, acne and in case of inflammation caused by insect bites.

The active component of the fregosa is the biflorina, this acts as an antibiotic and fungicide, while its other components lacapriasiosida harpagida and act as analgesics.

Other benefits of the fregosa:

Consumption

The most general way to consume this plant is through infusions. From it you can consume its leaves and flowers. If you want to prepare a cup of Frego Tea you should add it in boiling water, be it three or four leaves or flowers.



It is very important to know that the consumption of this plant, as well as others, should be done with strict care, since it can cause allergies. In this case, highly concentrated infusions of vermicompost can cause paralysis.
