Apart from having serious menstrual pains, a lady also used to feel empty and weak after her menstrual period.
She went to a pharmacy and explained that dilemma to the pharmacist on duty. The pharmacist said she needed to be taking blood tonic after the menstrual flow to replenish her body.
The pharmacist recommended a particular brand of manufactured blood tonic in a bottle. The blood tonic was good, served it's purpose of helping her regain some strength after her menstrual flow..
But it so happened that some months later when the blood tonic finished , due to her schedule, she was unable to go to that pharmacy. Coupled with the fact that she still used to experience pains during the days of menstrual flow, so the period of menstruatuon used to slow down her work pace and much work would be awaiting her attention afterwards.
She couldn't find that particular brand of blood tonic in nearby pharmacies.
Being a curious scientist, she had been checking even before then the composition of the blood tonic and noticed that among other elements it contained iron.
From her other studies she knew that many leaves, if not all, contain iron and some leaves have higher concentration.
Iron is a vital nutrient for blood. So she sought out those leaves- starting with the first one - bitter leaves. She began to eat the leaves raw towards the end of her menstrual period.
Bitter leaves is too bitter for many people to eat raw though. She also discovered that by boiling leaves called blood leaves which have a reddish juice and sweetening it with natural sweeteners- fruit juice, honey or dates- her body became very well-replenished.
The benefits of those two leaves mentioned go beyond getting rid of menstrual pains before, during and after the menstrual flows - they also help in other functioning of the body for both males and females.
In fact blood leaves have about exactly same effects as blood tonic - to reduce the drowsihess drinking the juice causes, especially if taken in the morning, you may boil with lemon grass . Then ensure you eat well - just as you should eat well when you take manufactured blood tonic.
As for the male folks, since you don't do menstruation😂 if you don't want female folks becoming stronger than you physically, you may also take blood leaves juice and lemon grass.
When you see a woman carrying shovel 'upandan' to scoop sand to fill sacks for gardening, don't wonder too much. Find out what she's been taking - the secret(s) may be in that garden. I remember the bible says, the life of a thing is in the blood .
You see these blood leaves ehnn! The rate they grow is amazing! Even if the stalk just drops on the ground and there is little soil, it would likely sprout just like the one in picture.
By the way ladies don't always wait till after menstrual flow to give your body healthy boost
