Their is a garden in my backyard, not mine though. It's own by a neighbor and I have been admiring the farm. All the leafs including weeds in the farm are very greenish that's what attracted me to the garden. So, today am going to share the once I admire most with you and some of their health benefits.

Hospital is too far

This is leaf is generally known as Hospital is too far in my area but the English name is Jatropha. Once you boil it within 20 minutes, it turns to blood. It builds blood as first as possible. It doesn't have good thirst but not bitter as well. So, you can mix it with milk and sugar and use it as your tea. You can equally drink it raw. But children finds it difficult to drink it raw sometimes due to the reddish color. But once mixed with milk and sugar, they enjoyed it.

phenergan

This leave is very bitter. That's why it was given the name phenergan. It's normally used to treat stomach upsets, lack of sleep and more. To consume this leaf, you need to squeeze the leaves add water and filter it and take. Within some minutes stomach pain is gone.

Pumpkin leaf

Pumpkin leaf generally consumed around the globe. This one here is growing in the garden at my backyard. Very greenish and mouth-watering. Can use it for your soap porridge yam, or you prepare it with crawfish and periwinkle, it serves as blood builder to. Those having shortage of blood can squeeze the leaves and makes the water with milk.

Here is pawpaw. I needed to have some but it's not ripped yet. Still in the garden. We all know that pawpaw is sweet and good for a health leaving. Do you know that pawpaw leafs can cure malaria and typhoid?? Just boil it with other leafs which I will mention in the comments sections. Use it to bath and you will get a relief from malaria and typhoid.

This coconut is growing rapidly in the garden. I know when it's been planted. I do enjoy it when it's not strong enough. The water inside coconut is very good for our brain.

Greenish cocoyam leafs. This cocoyam leafs can be used to prepare our local food known as ikpang or porridge yam. But not the strong once. The solft and fresh leafs. Cocoyam itself has its tuba and it's consumable. It serves as food..

All the leafs here is good for our health and some generates money for the owner. For example, the coconut, cocoyam, pumpkin leaf, pawpaw.

Even though it's your neighbor's garden, you feel very happy to see his garden growing well. I saw papaya there growing abundantly. Thank you for sharing information about the benefits of papaya leaves.
