What is the value of mimosa?

Mimosa can predict the weather

Mimosa is a magical plant that can predict the changes in the weather. If you touch it with your hand, its leaves will close quickly, and open again extremely slowly, which means the weather will turn sunny.

If you touch the mimosa and its leaves shrink slowly, droop slowly, or even open again immediately, it means that the weather will change from sunny to cloudy or it is about to rain.

The main reason why mimosa can predict the weather is that it has a leaf pad at the neck of its leaves. The turgor pressure of the leaf pad causes the opening and closing of the leaves, and this turgor pressure is closely related to the humidity of the air. Therefore, when the air humidity becomes higher, the leaves of mimosa will open and close slower, indirectly reflecting the amount of air humidity. It can be used as a reference for weather conditions in daily life.

Medicinal value of mimosa

Mimosa has great medicinal value and can be picked and dried for medicinal use in spring and autumn every year.

Mimosa pudica has a small amount of toxicity, but its medicinal value is higher. It can act as a diuretic and hemostatic, detoxify and remove blood stasis. It is very effective in treating colds, stomach pain and gastritis. Of course, not everyone is suitable for taking mimosa. Pregnant women should avoid using it. Although mimosa has medicinal value, it is only suitable for short-term use. Long-term use of this medicine will cause nerve paralysis.

Mimosa pudica can warn of disasters

Mimosa also has a deterrent effect. It is called the "seismograph" of the plant world. Mimosa can predict geological disasters, especially earthquakes. Due to the characteristics of mimosa, it is very sensitive to earthquakes. Therefore, a few hours before a strong earthquake occurs, the leaves of mimosa will suddenly shrink and then wither, thus warning us that an earthquake is coming and we should take precautions.

Mimosa can beautify your home

Daily physical and mental fatigue makes people feel bored and tired. Planting one or two mimosas at home can solve this problem very well. Mimosas can relax people's mood and make us feel good. Placing them at home can also beautify the indoor environment. It is a good choice for beautifying the home.

However, the number of mimosa potted plants in the home should not be too many, 1-2 pots are appropriate, because mimosa contains trace amounts of toxins, and too many potted plants may cause certain harm to health.
