La Ruda its benefits.
Speaking of plants that can serve to improve health, I present "La ruda", Mediterranean, aromatic plant, with flowers and fruits and fleshy leaves.
The scientific name of the Route belongs to the Rutáceas family. You should know that rue is a very toxic plant so you must be careful when handling it. It grows in sunny or semi-shade conditions, prefers dry soils, so irrigation should not be abundant.
It is recommended to take the rue leaves before flowering, when the flower buds have already been formed but the flowers have not yet been opened, because at that moment, the essential oils of the plant can be used more.
The rue has antispasmodic medicinal properties, emmenagogue properties, sedative properties that reduce anxiety and nervousness, contains a large amount of vitamin C, anti-inflammatory properties, among others.
Benefits and properties of the Ruda:
• Helps to avoid indigestion, stomach heaviness, gas, intestinal burning, ideal to treat diarrhea or colic.
