If you experience minor burns on your skin, this cassava concoction can be first aid. Clean and cool the injured skin area. Then dip cotton or gauze in the grated cassava concoction. Attach the gauze to the cassava concoction on the injured skin using a plaster. Change the gauze twice a day, do this until the burn heals. The iron and fiber content in cassava helps the healing process of burns. In fact, the good content in it can minimize scars on the skin.
It's quite easy to use at home, right?
Cassava or cassava is one of the staple foods to this day. This tuber is a source of energy that is rich in carbohydrates. It is very suitable for consumption when we need nutritional intake. Whether fried or boiled, cassava is still delicious and a favorite snack. Currently, cassava dishes are also starting to be in great demand, one of which is cassava tape.
Cassava is one of the tuber plants that we often encounter. Cassava plants can grow up to 7 meters high. The stem has a brown stem color on the outer skin, and is segmented.
Cassava leaves are finger-shaped with a single leaf type. This plant has a taproot with large branch roots which then enlarge and become cassava tubers.
Cassava plants are generally 7-8 months old. The characteristics of cassava plants that are ready to harvest are leaves that have started to fall off a little. We can also dig the soil at the roots to ensure the development of the tubers. If the soil around the cassava tubers has been cleaned, slowly pull the stem. Cut the cassava from the stem using a machete. Try to cut at the base of the tuber. Clean the cassava from the soil, and collect it in a prepared place.
So, if you harvest cassava, don't throw away the stems, my friends. Plant the cassava stems in soil that has been loosened. The distance between one stem and another is about 60 cm.
After planting, don't forget to care for the cassava plants to get lots of large tubers. In addition to fertilizing, clean up any weeds that are bothering you.
Treating Diarrhea
My friends, surely many of you have experienced diarrhea. Well, cassava has its own properties for treating diarrhea.
When we have diarrhea, our activities are disrupted, because we often defecate. In addition, the stomach will feel sore and uncomfortable. In general, diarrhea occurs due to consuming contaminated food or drinks. Diarrhea can be fatal if the sufferer experiences dehydration, because the fluids in the body will significantly worsen the sufferer's condition. Therefore, even though diarrhea is considered common, first aid for sufferers must be carried out. One of them is using cassava leaves. The Ingredients We Need Consist of:
Cassava leaves
Boiled water
And salt
Let's Start Mixing:
Cut the cassava leaves that have been washed clean
Then put the cassava leaf pieces into a mortar and start pounding
Boil the water until it boils
And put in the pounded cassava leaves
Add enough salt and stir
After boiling, transfer the boiled water into a strainer
Done.
Good luck trying it at home.
When diarrhea strikes, drink the cassava leaf concoction for first aid. Drink twice a day, until the diarrhea symptoms subside.
The content and nutrients contained in cassava leaves can relieve diarrhea symptoms. Not much different from guava leaves which are known as a diarrhea medicine.
Practical enough to be practiced at home, my friend. Hopefully useful.
Greetings always compact.
