老祖母們用來讓頭髮烏黑亮麗秘密武器

它來洗頭髮，洗後頭髮不但散發出草的香味久久不去，頭髮也變得烏黑柔順了。

摘下一大把的牽牛花，洗乾淨後，放在盆子裡加上一些水，搓揉後讓牽牛花的汁出來，可發現牽牛花的汁液會變成深綠色的，且草的香味也出來，接著就可將牽牛花的渣渣撈起來，這時只剩下牽牛花的汁液，就可以拿來洗頭髮了。將頭髮打溼後用牽牛花的汁來洗頭髮，洗2～3次後再用清水洗過，不需要用一般的洗髮精，就可將頭髮洗得很乾淨，且頭髮會非常的柔順。常常使用牽牛花洗頭，頭髮會烏黑亮麗喔！

中医学认为牵牛子为峻下的药品，少用则通大便，多用则泻下如水，且能利尿，故在临床上主要用于腹水肿胀、二便不利及宿食积滞、大便秘结等症。至于用治痰壅气滞、咳逆喘满，则只宜暂用，不可久服。如属脾弱胃呆、气虚腹胀者，当以健脾补中为要，不宜用该品攻泻消积，克伐胃气。

牵牛子粥 材料：生姜2片，粳米80克，牵牛子1克 做法：粳米洗净放入锅中，加清水、姜片熬成粥，牵牛子研末，倒入粥里，搅拌均匀即可。 功效：泻水消肿，通便下气，水肿、便秘患者都可以食用。

藥用 作為中藥，根或莖葉均可名為五葉藤，有清熱、解毒及利水通淋之用；花可止咳除蒸。建議用量：根或莖葉4.5–10克。  

牵牛花的食用功效和药用价值

1、牵牛花的药用价值较高，研究分析：牵牛子含有牵牛子甙、牵牛子酸甲、没食子酸。裸麦角碱、野麦碱等成分,能刺激肠道、增强蠕动,有强烈的泻下作用。服用时一定要严格按量,不可多服,牵牛子的药用名称为二丑、黑丑、白丑

牵牛子可治疗水肿、腹水、咳喘、虫积腹痛

牵牛花不仅给很多人的童年带来了很多的快乐，其实，牵牛花的子还是一味中药（又名黑丑）。牵牛子味苦，性寒，具有泻水通便，清痰，涤饮，杀虫化积等功效。

临床上常常用来治疗水肿、臌胀、痰饮咳喘、虫积腹痛等疾病。牵牛子能通力二便以排泄水湿，属峻下逐水之品，主要用于水湿停滞而正气未衰者的治疗，《千金方》中用牵牛子研末吞服，治疗水肿臌胀、二便不利。牵牛子还能泻肺气、逐痰饮，可用于治疗肺气壅滞、痰饮咳喘、面目浮肿。牵牛子还能去积杀虫，并可借其泻下通便作用以排除虫体。治蛔虫、绦虫及虫积腹痛者，可与槟榔、使君子同用，研末送服，以增强去积杀虫之功。

牵牛子少用则通大便，多用则泻下如水，且能利尿，故在临床上主要用于腹水肿胀、二便不利及宿食积滞、大便秘结等症。至于用治痰壅气滞、咳逆喘满，则只宜暂用，不可久服。如属脾弱胃呆、气虚腹胀者，当以健脾补中为要，不宜用该品攻泻消积，克伐胃气。

Insecticidal Potential on Dengue Vectors: Study evaluated the sublethal activities of I. cairica acethonilic extract against the life history trait of dengue vectors, Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti on late third instar larvae. Results showed significantly lower egg production (fecundity) and eggs hatchability (fertility) in Ae. albopictus There was also significant reduction of width of larval head capsule and wing length in both sexes of Aedes species. The reduced reproductive capacity suggests a potential as plant based insecticide to control dengue vectors. (21)

Pulicha Kirai Plants

It is very popular in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in India and is used for making a large variety of dishes such as gongura pachadi, gongura chicken, gongura pickle, gongura dal, gongura pappu and many more. It has a very distinctive tangy taste and constitutes one of the main ingredients in Indian Andhra food recipes. Because of its sour taste, it is also known as sour leaves or sour grass / grabs. Gongura is a wonderful source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial to your overall health.

Gongura Nutrition Facts

All varieties of gongura provide several nutritional benefits. It is a great choice for low-calorie and low-fat diets. It is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber and protein. It is also an excellent source of vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) and vitamin C.  Gongura is rich in essential minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. It also provides you with many beneficial organic compounds such as flavonoids, anthocyanins and polyphenolic acids.

Gongura leaves health benefitsGongura improves digestive health

Gongura is high in dietary fiber that can help improve your digestive health. Dietary fiber promotes easy digestion by adding bulk to food as it passes through the digestive system. By normalizing the bowel movements, gongura helps in preventing digestive problems like constipation, bloating and diarrhea. Gongura also contains active antioxidant compounds known as anthraquinones that provides additional support to your digestive health. These compounds increase fluid secretion and muscular activity in the intestines, which in turn stimulates the passage of food through your digestive tract. This helps in preventing constipation.

Did you know? Hibsicus Cannabinus is scientific name for Gongura. Gongura in tamil is Pulichai Kerrai.  Ambadi is what Gongura called in Marathi or Gujarati. In Hindi it is called Pitwa. In Bengali it is known as Mestapat. Sorrel leaves in Kannada means Pundi. 

Pulicha keerai prevents anemia

Anemia is a condition caused by decreased levels of hemoglobin or red blood cells leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weariness, heart palpitations, weakness and shortness of breath. Gongura, being a rich source of iron, helps in increasing the production of red blood cells, thus preventing anemia caused by iron deficiency.

Gongura lowers high blood pressure

Studies suggest that increasing your intake of potassium and magnesium can help regulate blood pressure levels. Gongura is a great source of potassium and magnesium, making it a suitable remedy for hypertension. Potassium is a mineral that functions as a vasodilator and diuretic. It relaxes the arteries and blood vessels, thus reducing the stress on them and reducing blood pressure.

Gongura prevents cancer

Free radicals are responsible for converting the normal and healthy cells in our bodies to cancerous cells. Gongura is full of antioxidant compounds like polyphenolic compounds, anthocyanins and flavonoids, all of which have the amazing ability to scavenge the free radicals and protect your body from oxidation damage. Gongura has also been found to promote apoptosis, the process of programmed cell death of tumor cells.

Gongura aids in weight loss

Gongura leaves are low in calories and fat. They are rich in fiber that satiates your hunger and makes you feel full for a long period of time. They also have diuretic properties that prevent fluid retention by increasing the frequency of urination. This helps in preventing weight gain due to water retention. The nutrients in gongura provide the essential nourishment to your body without adding extra calories.

Gongura detoxifies the body

Gongura is rich in flavonoids and other antioxidants that promote detoxification and cleansing of your body. It has purgative and diuretic properties that help in flushing out the harmful toxins formed in the body. The protocatechuic acid found in gongura leaves also aids in the detoxification of the body. For this reason, gongura infused water or gongura tea are often used for cleansing the body.

Gongura and skin benefits

Gongura is found to have anti-microbial and anti-allergic properties. It is high in Vitamin C that benefits the skin in many ways. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties that destroy the free radical and prevent early aging. It also increases the production of collagen that improves the elasticity and smoothness of the skin. When used as a face pack, gongura tightens the skin and prevents the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Dried gongura leaves are beneficial in treating many skin problems like itching, rashes and ringworms.
