Unexpected effects of pandan leaves on health

Pandanus leaves are not only used to add delicious flavor to dishes but also have great benefits in treating diseases.

Pandanus is a tropical plant in the genus Pandanus, widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine as a flavoring.

Since ancient times, physicians have used pandan leaves as a medicine to treat diseases. The leaves, which are thought to only have culinary flavoring, have effective benefits in traditional medicine.

Below are the surprising health benefits of pandan leaves:

Treatment for the mentally ill

Wash 3 pieces of pandan leaves, steep them in 3 bowls of boiling water and drink twice a day, morning and evening, regularly to nourish the nerves.

Treatment of hypertension

Apart from treating nervous weakness, pandan leaves boiled in water are also used to treat blood pressure problems. Just 2 cups a day is enough to deal with this disease.

Both pineapple leaves and fruit have medicinal properties.

Eliminate anxiety

For those who are anxious or stressed, people also use decoction of pandan leaves with a dose of 2 large pandan leaves boiled with a glass of water. Pandan leaves are effective in relieving stress from tannins.

Treatment of joint pain and rheumatism

3 pandan leaves and a cup of coconut oil mixed with eucalyptus oil help to cure muscle pain due to rheumatism, by massaging and soaking in warm pandan leaf water.

Gives a delicious feeling

For those who are thin due to anorexia and lack of appetite, pandan leaves can be a solution. Boil 2 pieces of pandan leaves and drink 30 minutes before meals regularly to help increase your appetite.

Effective on hair

From a beauty point of view, pandan leaves are very useful to overcome hair problems. Boil a bunch of pandan leaves (about 7 leaves) until the water turns dark green (about 1 bowl full), leave overnight, then add the juice of 3 noni fruits and mix into a mixture. Wash your hair 3 times a week to make it black and shiny. To get rid of dandruff, use crushed pandan leaves and gently massage on the scalp, then wash it off.
