Miracle plants - Madhumalti

Long time ago I decided to combat my father’s diabetes in the natural way. He had a belief with English medicines and also started taking own medicines whichever available in medical shop. Multi vitamin tablets, Vembu Kashayams, oils, balms, he come back from the medical shop he showcased himself as if he purchased the grocery items for the house. But one day, he was so sick and I got him to hospital. Looking after the tablets, Doctor shouted at him, if you had these many medicines then you don’t have to eat food.

Later I spoke with my father, why did he has so many medicines. He said, after coming to Bangalore, he had digestion issues, walking is helpful but he can’t walk for daily basis. He felt energetic if he had these tablets. He had leg pain and sometimes he is losing his memory too. I observed that, these problems he mentioned it’s not permanent to him, it is temporary for only little number of days, but he is taking tablets in permanent basis. Too many tablets makes his life worse.

While I changed my home, in new place I have some place for garden. At old home we had some place for gardening, but I don’t have any purpose to nurture my gardening skills. In this new home, I took permission from our new house owner to plant the herbs and medicinal plants & with a full smile he given the approval. While I am researching I got these plants, Tulasi, German Chamomile, Gotukola, Lemon Grass, French marigold and Madhumalti. We will talk about German Chamomile later, talking about Madhumalti, I bought this plant from online. I found that, there are some grass growing near to this plant which are getting stronger, sharper & taller than Madhumalti plant, I started pulling out these grass which are grown near to this plant and Madhumalti started growing safely.

Whenever my father has digestion issue, I took some of the Madhumalti leaves, laung and Krishna Tulasi leaves (btw, I have only choice to choose Krishna Tulasi that’s why I brought Krishna Tulasi leaves into this). I boiled water and spread these three things on it, filtered for sediments and gave to my father to drink at morning. He said, that day it’s wonderful to him. Whenever he had digestion issue, he started asking for this water. This also helps him to control diabetes. It shows in the recent results also. I found that Madhumalti roots are good for treating rheumatism. Leaves for treating fever. If you’re growing these plants at home, beautiful flowers brings good ambience to your mood. Gargling fruits decoction helpful in treating tooth aches. Seeds helps destroying the intestinal worms. After seeing the results, Doctor also happy that we are treating diabetes in a natural way. Please consult your doctor before you’re taking these medicines.

There are various goodness from this plant. Nothing stopped me from growing this wonderful plant. We just required lower than a square feet to grow Madhumalti and it’s a creeper. Also this plant is limited to India, Africa and APAC regions. Also called as Madhumalati, Rangoon Creeper, Chinese honey suckle etc., There are many plants makes our life easier. Currently I am having some experience with Gotukola, Karela (Bitter gourd), Lemon Grass, Pirandai (Adamant Creeper) will share you later.
