KALACHUCHI
image

I saw this flower outside the gate along the highway wherein I'm having my practice drive while I' m passing the road this white flowered kalachuchi caught my eyes attention then I pulled over, took my phone and did the best shot I could.

This kalachuchi is mainly grown in the Philippines as an ornamental plant, with the flowers as its main attraction. The flowers are supposed to be the source of the perfume known as “Frangipani.”
The flowers are popular in Filipino culture as ones given to the dead. Moreover, local superstition says that the tree put strain on the relationships of those living nearby. Kalachuchi also a "medicinal plant," it has a healing power.

Medicinal

Kalachuchi has a variety of medicinal properties. Its bark, which contains the bitter glucoside plumierid, is used as a purgative, emmenagogue, and febrifuge when in decoction. In Mexico, the calcium salt-containing latex is given for toothache, and when combined with coconut oil is used as a remedy for itching. SOURCE

Thank you and have a good day steemians! GOOD LUCK!
