If surveys and statistics show and confirm that we are increasingly stressed, let’s at least try to solve the problem in a natural way. No more stress medications now that we know this beneficial fruit: Prickly Pear. We absolutely do not want to replace doctors and pharmacists, but to look for an alternative way out in natural products. Stress, taken early, does not degenerate into exhaustion and exhaustion into depression. The plant we see together, with its fruits, has been known for centuries for its calming virtues.
A little known plant but with a thousand qualities
It may be its aesthetic ugliness, but this plant has never found the admirers it deserves. Typical of warm areas, in Italy it has found its habitat in Sicily and Calabria. If we want to plant one in the garden, it is good to know that, being spontaneous, it practically does not need care and maintenance. Returning to our main topic, stress is how prickly pear can help us.
A bag of vitamins and minerals
No more stress medications now that we know this beneficial fruit, mine of vitamins and minerals. In fact, our neuro-muscular system needs these nutrients daily, which are abundant in our plant. Particularly:
- vitamins A and C;
- potassium and magnesium;
- betacarotene;
- calcium and iron.
Many civilizations have used and still do this plant which is therefore able to balance the nervous system in a natural way, also increasing concentration and mental clarity. Not to mention the presence of antioxidants and essential amino acids, which are real resources against aging and cell wasting.
Excellent against hemorrhoids
Here’s an aspect that hardly anyone knows about the prickly pear: it prevents hemorrhoids. Its fibers are in fact powerful allies for the intestinal flora, regularizing its balance. Not only that, because many detoxifying diets require its use, precisely to purify the liver and intestines. And, dump the toxins. It also benefits the action of this fruit, which reduces blood sugar, through the absorption of sugars while we eat.
Deepening
The peel of this food is even more complete than that of the apple and few people know it
