Good day hivers!!!!!
Happy Sunday everyone .
We are living at a mountainous area when I was a kid ,we are far from stores and pharmacy and natural medicine is what we applied if we had some illness back then and guava is one of the natural medicine we always used.
Guava leaves has an antibacterial contents and it helps us for our wounds.Every time we get wound ,guava leaves is what we applied on our affected parts .
We even use to chew it without thinking the saliva will be applied on our wound haha.
For our wounds ,we had to smash the young guava leaves until the syrup comes out.
Since we are far from dentist and we don't have money for it ,we did our tooth extraction in our own.And to make the gums stop bleeding from the tooth extraction ,we used and chew the young guava leaves.
I remember this scars on my finger when I gathered some dried woods my finger was accidentally hit with the bolo I used on cutting the trees.I was scared to see a lot of blood so what I did I get some young guava leaves and chewed it and applied on my finger.I cut my clothes and tied it,after a week it was healed.
If we had a diarrhea we boiled the young guava leaves and drink it.
After I gave birth birth to my eldest son ,I gave him birth through normal delivery anyway and when we got home from the hospital,I boiled a young guava leaves and used the water to clean my private part ,it helps to recovered the wound I had from giving birth.
Guava was been part of my life ,it helps me survive from crisis.
When I was studying elementary and highschool ,we gathered some guava fruits every Sunday and sell it to my classmates.It helps me to buy my school needs like paper and pencils and for my snacks too.
Since we are living at the mountain a lot of guava trees around us ,even in our way going to school we gathered some guava fruits too used this to make a barter with my classmates.
My guava fruits was exchange with their papers or snacks.
And that's how amazing the guava tree for me.
