Hello everyone there.
Welcome to another exciting episode from Flair GH.
My name is Nine and today we're going to be talking about Lantana Camara.
One would say what is Lantana Camara?
Well that's a flower right there and the Akans call it Ananse Dokuno.
If you know this plant very well, you will not just see it as a flower but you will see
it as something that has quite some medicinal value that you can actually use at home.
The Lantana Camara also has diverse benefits.
Among these benefits is the fact that it also inhibits cancer cell growth.
It stops skin itching.
It's able to cure leprosy, chicken pox, ulcers and even asthma.
One beautiful thing that I have learned and love so much about this Lantana plant is its
ability to give retentive memory.
All you need to do with the Lantana plant is to pick a few of the leaves and a few of
the flowers.
You wash them thoroughly.
You put them in a pot.
You boil it for over 10 to 20 minutes and this is how you take it if you want to have
a retentive memory.
For adults, you have to take just about half a glass morning, afternoon and evening.
While children will take a small cup morning, afternoon and evening.
Babies are not even left out.
So for babies, they take a teaspoon three times daily.
This is the first method.
And the second method to have a retentive memory from using the Lantana Camara is that
you fry it in the pan to get it brown.
Turn it into powder and then you mix it with honey.
When you mix it with honey, adults will take three tablespoons for morning, afternoon and
evening.
Children from 10 years and above will take one teaspoon for morning, afternoon and evening.
I never knew myself that the Lantana Camara had so much benefits until I had a conversation
with my mom one day.
She was like, oh, they used to eat it when they were young.
In fact, I realized that there are so many plants and so many flowers that are actually
edible but we do not know of.
Let us keep learning about these plants and it will benefit us enormously.
And this is where we bring the curtains down on Lantana Camara.
