It is said that Gynura Procumbens (Longevity Spinach)
• Lowers blood sugar (diabetes), cholesterol (lipid, serum, triglyceride levels).
• Topical inflammation, rheumatism, viral ailments, diarrhea, dysentery, febrifuges, hypertension, urinary tract infection, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic.
• Anti-cancer: Inhibition effect on growth of cancer cells.
• Contains Asparaginase, kind of enzyme to inhibit protein syntheses by hydrolyzing asparagines (amino acid which is very essentially, needed by cancer/tumor cells) into aspartic acid and ammonia, so the cancer cells/tumor cells will stop growing and die.
• Poultice: relieves rheumatic and general body-pains.
From what I have read you can gain the health benefits of this plant from eating 3-7 raw leaves per day.
Please Note:
Spinach contains purines, which are organic compounds that your body turns into uric acid. Having high levels of uric acid in your body increases your risk of developing kidney stones. The oxalic acid in spinach can also cause the levels of calcium oxalate in your urine to rise, which can also promote kidney stones.
When I first heard about this plant and it's healing abilities I searched like crazy to find some in the United States. I found 3 people growing and selling it. I wound up buying mine from a lovely Etsy seller named Wendi. To view the listing for these incredible plants please visit here. Gynura Procumbens
