The functions, effects and characteristics of morning glory

When we were children, we often picked a morning glory on the roadside and then pulled out the pointed end of its stem and stuffed it into our ears as earrings. I believe that all flower lovers have had this experience! Morning glory can be used as medicine. The gray-black seeds can reduce swelling and kill insects. Let’s learn about its functions and effects below!

1. The role of morning glory

1. Diarrhea

This effect is good for some people and bad for others. The seeds of morning glory contain more petuniasin. Once this substance comes into contact with bile and intestinal fluid, it will dissolve the petuniasin, stimulate the stomach and intestines to cause intestinal peristalsis, and cause diarrhea. If you eat the wrong food, you can try this effect~

2. It helps with urination and swelling

Morning glory can help with urination and reduce swelling. If you suffer from body edema, nephritis edema, or even ascites due to cirrhosis, you can use morning glory to treat it.

3. Insecticide damage

The leaves of the morning glory can be used as medicine to treat insect bites. Not only can it treat mosquito bites, but also centipede bites. If you are bitten, you can take three or four leaves and rub them on your hands. After rubbing out the mucus, rub the leaves of the morning glory together with the bite on the bitten area, which can immediately relieve pain and itching.

2. The efficacy of morning glory

1. Appreciation

Morning glory is a flower with relatively strong survival ability. It can survive in any environment. Growing a few plants in the front yard or back house can tidy up the furniture. If planted in the yard, you can let it climb and grow along the wall. The branches are green and have strong ornamental value. It is a good choice for both maintenance and appreciation, and the colors are diverse and the shapes are bright.

2. Medicinal value

The medicinal part of morning glory is the seeds, which contain melanin, fat oil, citric acid and other ingredients, which are beneficial to human health. If you grind it into powder, apply it on your face before going to bed and wash it off with water the next day to remove dark spots.

That's all about the effects and functions of morning glory. As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poison. Only by using it in an effective way can its use value be fully exerted. It must not be taken orally. The seeds of morning glory have certain toxic side effects. Do not take it orally~
