The efficacy and function of agave

1. As a medicinal material

This is its most important function. It has a name, called "plant of the century". The origin of this name is closely related to its function and efficacy. Its characteristics are "warm", "sour", "bitter", etc. Specifically, the following points:

(1) First, it has a detoxifying effect. It also has insecticidal properties.

(2) It can also help stop bleeding and speed up blood clotting.

(3) The third function is to moisten the lungs, relieve cough, and resolve phlegm.

(4) It also has therapeutic effects on some specific diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease in women, scabies, etc.

However, it should be noted that although it is a good medicinal herb. However, it is toxic in itself. Especially its juice. If we accidentally touch it, our skin may feel a burning sensation. In addition, someone has done an experiment before. After animals ate the juice of this plant for three days, they developed anorexia and eventually died of poisoning. In addition, it is also irritating to the eyes. If you come into contact with its juice, be sure not to let it come into contact with your eyes again.

2. Edible value

This plant can be harvested year-round. After harvesting, it can be dried before use, or used fresh. It can also be used to make wine. I believe everyone has heard of "Tequila".

3. For viewing

We can see from the picture that its leaves are hard and upright and very ornamental. In addition, it is a plant from the tropics, so it is evergreen all year round. It is suitable to decorate it at home or plant it in flower beds. From a distance, it has a tropical feel.
