10 Benefits of Bitter Leaf

Bitter Leaf (Vernonia Amydalina) is one of the most popular medicinal plants we have on the planet. It grows everywhere. This wonder plant can be cultivated on any kind of soil.

What makes Bitter Leaf different from other plants is its bitterness. All aspects (leaf, stick, and root) of this plant are extremely bitter. I’m not surprised that few people try to avoid the harshness of the Bitter Leaf. They prefer frozen yogurt, rolls, chocolate, and other sweet items.

The bitterness of this plant is healthy for our body system. To me in particular, this always reminds me that life is not always sweet, it’s full of ups and downs. Seriously, I’m not against sugary products, but too much intake of them may damage our body system within a short time frame. Bitter herbs are very important to our body system, they neutralize and tone the vital organs (the kidney and the liver) of the body system.

Bitter Leaf is healthy for the care & proper function of the body system (kidney & liver). This is one of the main reasons why I refer to this wonder plant (Bitter Leaf) as a treatment FOR ALL kinds of diseases because if both kidney and liver are in a good healthy state, the entire general body system will automatically function well.
