MEXICAN MINT or KARPOORAVALLI or OMAVALLI

Karpooravalli /Omavalli or Mexican mint (as its known in US) is a perennial herb.It has flesh and aromatic leaves.Its very commonly found herb in chennai,India.

I remember my Amma giving me the juice of the leaves to me and my brother when we were kids for our cold. I don't think i liked it then ,but as i grew and started realising its value...i started eating it raw..

My appa used to tell its very good for sore throat and cough too.

I have also seen that they use this leaf as kashayam(tea) for indigestion.My father in law eats this for his bronchitis .

After i came here to US i saw one of my neighbour Make bajji using this leaf.. it tasted very good.Though the medically value may not be the same its nice way of taking the leaf for those who don't eating it raw.

Another common wonder herb in the list will follow...

NATURE'S MIRACLE

"The treatments themselves do not 'cure' the condition, they simply restore the body's self-healing ability."-Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O.Our bone cells replace themselves in a rapid exchange, resulting in a brand-new skeleton about every two years. In one year, 98 percent of the atoms in your body will be replaced by other atoms. (Barbara Seuling, You Can't Sneeze With Your Eyes Open , p. 30)Our changing bodies: liver - new every 6 weeks; skeleton - new every 3 months; stomach lining - new every 4 days; atoms - 98% new every year; and skin - new every month. (Deepak Chopra, Quantum Healing )The entire lining of your stomach and both intestines is replaced every three days. (L. M. Boyd) Every second, your body manufactures 2 1/2 million new red blood cells . Within a month, all your red blood cells are replaced with new ones. (Barbara Seuling, You Can't Sneeze With Your Eyes Open , p. 35) Bone tissue is constantly being destroyed and replaced. About every seven years the body grows the equivalent of an entirely new skeleton .(Marc McCutcheon, The Compass in Your Nose , p. 130) The skin is constantly growing from within, creating new cells that push their way outward. The whole process takes about one month. (Susan Smith Jones, in Let's Live Magazine)So... Our body is capable of healing itself ,if we stop injuring it by our wrong life style and food habits.
