fig leaf usage and recipe
Comments (21)Just a quick search on Yahoo brought this up: Fig leaf tea helps support proper insulin response. Researchers in Spain have shown that fig leaf (ficus carica) tea can help maintain proper insulin levels. It can easily be made using 2 teaspoons of dried cut leaves. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the leaves, cover, and let the brew sit for 10 to 15 minutes before drinking. Drink 1 cup each morning at breakfast. Dried fig leaves can usually be purchased at your local health food store. Consult with your doctor - if you're currently taking medications, before use. 2 years ago http://www.drdavidwilliams.com/Legacy/c/blood_sugar_health_recs.aspx...See MoreAre fig leaves safe?
Comments (40)If you came in contact with a fig tree (cutting it with chainsaw,gather leafs,fruits) and have a rash act quick cause the rash will stay about 3-10 days depending on the exposure. You have to understand while spring and summer time the fig tree creates that white latex (that have 2 bad compoments of acid) and "burns" the skin but not like sun, so if you hadnt make contact,take procotions gloves, long sleves and dont stay in the sun for long periods, if you failed and have a rash 1) was the area that make conntact with fig tree fast and good 2) see a doctor (propably you will get antibiotic, antistamins,epinefrine of some kind) 3)this isn't sun burn dont put same lotions although manny can help such us aloe vera 4) keep the infected area clean 5)Thats Mine opinion, good diet! Antiiflamatory such us Coffe, Green tea honey+can be antibacterial too, Drink a lot of water and healthy us fruits ,carrots ,coconut fish of course that things will may help on low level or medium. Thank you and plz see a doctor because after 2 day it will get bad if made big contact....See MoreHere's what to do with unripe figs
Comments (16)I've just made this, but at no point did I see any white latex-like liquid oozing from the figs, not even when I picked them. The figs were hardish, but not stonelike. I pierced them with a skewer and soaked in water overnight, then boiled them 3 times in fresh water before stewing in the sugar syrup. Do you think they might still have any of the toxicity in them or will they be safe to eat?...See MoreFig Tree? John et. al.??
Comments (11)No sabji - this fig is a tiny leaved creeping vine. It's the one you see completely covering walls and buildings in the deep south. The leaves are about the size of a penny. There is a variegated version out there also. Raleigh is a bit north for them but they will grow here, they just don't cover things as much. I've never heard if they make some sort of fruit, but if they do it would most likely be tiny....See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
