Recipe: Natural Remedy for Eye Health Using the Plant “Kalanchoe” (also known as “Cat’s Tongue”)
Introduction:
This plant, Kalanchoe (also called “Cat’s Tongue”), has been gaining attention for its potential to support eye health. People suffering from cataracts and those who rely on glasses for vision have reported improvements after using this plant as a natural remedy. The leaves are packed with properties that may aid in restoring vision and improving overall eye health. Here’s a simple way to use this plant to harness its benefits.
Ingredients:
- Fresh Kalanchoe leaves (a few)
- A small glass jar or container
- A strainer or cheesecloth (for filtering)
- Honey (optional, for added benefits and taste)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Kalanchoe Leaves:
Wash the Kalanchoe leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities. - Extract the Juice:
Cut the leaves into small pieces and place them into a small jar or container. Crush or mash the leaves to release the juice. You can use a pestle and mortar or simply crush them with your hands. - Strain the Juice:
Use a strainer or cheesecloth to extract the juice from the crushed leaves. Ensure you are left with a clear liquid. You can discard the leftover plant pulp. - Optional – Add Honey:
If you prefer a sweeter taste or additional health benefits, mix in a small amount of honey to the Kalanchoe juice. Honey is known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. - Consume the Juice:
Drink about 1-2 teaspoons of the Kalanchoe juice daily. Start with a small amount and gradually increase if desired. You can also dilute it with water if you find the taste too strong. - External Use:
If you’re using the remedy to improve cataracts or other eye health issues, you can gently apply a small amount of the juice around the eyes (avoiding direct contact with the eyes). Be sure to test for any allergic reaction on a small area of skin before using on the face.
Important Notes:
- Consult with a Doctor: Before using any natural remedy, especially if you have existing eye conditions like cataracts, consult your healthcare provider or ophthalmologist.
- Consistency is Key: The effects of natural remedies may take time. Consistency in consumption is important for any potential benefits.
- Safety: Make sure to use fresh leaves from a healthy Kalanchoe plant. Avoid using any other parts of the plant that may be toxic.
This natural remedy offers a potential way to support your eye health and may assist in improving vision over time.
