Bushy, wild, trivial, and useless, that was my view of this flower before knowing the benefits it contains.
About twenty years ago, in a hamlet on a mountain in West Java, in the home of a village elder, I saw two flower buds soaked in a little water in a glass. A few moments later I learned that the water that drips from the tip shaft of the flower was useful for curing eye or eye infections, dry eyes, or just cleaning the eyes then we would see more comfortably and clearly. By boiling these flowers according to the dose and then consume regularly and regularly, this flower is also able to overcome the symptoms of cataracts.
In addition to a variety of benefits for other problems the flowers are also beneficial to cure asthma and sore throat, prevent the growth of cancer cells early on, cure a toothache, and as a wound antibiotic. This is the flower of a group of Five Star flower plants, which is a family of Campanulaceae, a bush-shaped flower, located in one corner of my backyard.

Wow! This is the emperor among all plants. 🙂
May I ask the reason for your opinion, Pet Goddess?
For it’s medical properties. There are a few herbs here, like this one. I even had one in my yard and dried it to keep it if needed.
O I see… Glad to know that the goddess also use herbs as medical properties!
Goddess use only herbs for healing living things. 🙂
So far I think Goddesses only use heavenly products
What are heavenly products? All these beautiful herbs, animals and minerals. These things are made in heaven and taken here, on the Earth for us, to enjoy them and use them properly. 🙂
I don’t know, I think there are special products for gods and goddesses.
Such a pretty flower to learn about.
Do you want to try to drip it in your eyes?
I read about how the plant could help eye infections from your post, and it has more than one healthful benefits.

Yes, unfortunately, it will be very difficult unless you live in the tropics.
Maybe it couldn’t grow in this area.
