Pennywort is a humble herb that is easily found in Vietnam, sold at local markets for a very modest price. Yet, its benefits to human health and beauty are truly remarkable.
Some amazing benefits of pennywort
Despite its affordable price, pennywort offers a plethora of advantages for wellness and beauty. Specifically:
– Skin care: For a long time, this herb has been used as a remedy for skin issues due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it moisturizes the skin, making it softer and smoother, while reducing dryness and flakiness thanks to its rich content of Vitamins A, C, E, K, and B complex, as well as calcium and potassium, among other nutrients. Pennywort can nourish the skin from within, slowing down the aging process and enhancing skin elasticity.
Pennywort offers a plethora of benefits for health and beauty.
– Detoxification and cooling: In traditional Eastern medicine, pennywort is considered cooling in nature, and it effectively detoxifies, disinfects, and eliminates phlegm. Pennywort juice can also help reduce fever, pimples, and mouth ulcers caused by internal heat.
– Blood health: Research indicates that pennywort contains compounds that can inhibit alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity, which slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, thus helping to regulate blood sugar levels effectively.
– Regulating irregular menstruation: A traditional remedy for irregular periods involves using 40g of pennywort and 30g of mugwort. Clean and chop the herbs, then filter them with boiled water. Drink this concoction twice a day for five days, starting ten days before the expected period. This should lead to noticeable improvements.
