Flowes & Herbs -SKK's garden -1


SKK's Garden Highlights - 2012

I have to admit @ Bhilai  home , there is something about the wind & sun ,that turn me into a child  :)


I turned to a lazy duckling :) :) wandering around in SKK's garden staring  at flowers , butterflies, lady buds, insects.......

I found these two flowers very attractive and my mom doused my curiosity - she explained their medicinal values as below :

Vishnukranti (Scientific name .........hmm......interesting ...thanks to wiki  :P) 
Increases hair growth n memory .........(though it never worked on my brother a.k a. dinosaur , not that he swallowed this plant ;) )

Botanical name : Evolvulus alsinoides  
 
Procedure : Its root's juice is  to be consumed



facts apart ..I totally adore these blue flowers & that's how they are featured here ....


Shreeparvathy  or   Mukkutti  :

This plant is a great remedy for loose motion, fever, healing wounds and improves immunity.

Ayurveda considers this little herb as a good medicine, used as a tonic, stimulant and in the treatment of stomachache, diabetes and asthma.  

Botanical name : Biophytum sensitivum

Procedure : Its leaves are boiled with rice and served hot... :)    
Again i was attracted by the bright small yellow flowers....... 

Happy Gardening
