Daisy is one of the typical flowers that almost every country has people use to make tea, make food and decor home.
Today we learn about Daisy. Daisy is a small flower with white or yellow petals and a yellow centre. It often grows in temperate and tropical mountainous regions. Currently, Daisy plants are distributed in most countries in the world, in Vietnam Daisy grow throughout the country.
Daisy are one of the many flowers that you can eat and use in cooking. They make a lovely addition to salads and smoothies and you can also make medicinal tea from them too.
It’s timeless and well-loved and daisy tea is a great thing to make with small children.
Though, I should add a bit of a disclaimer here too, whenever we’re picking herbs from the garden or plants from the wild, I’m cautious about explaining to my children four year old that it’s important to check with a grown up first before you eat any of these wild herbs or flowers. But I think with the right guidance and supervision it’s a beneficial thing and their knowledge of the natural world will only grow.I first discovered the power of Daisy from trip to Da Lat in last year.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Daisy are great for lingering coughs, liver, kidneys and inflammation. They are also known to be a blood purifier. Daisy will also strengthens appetite and metabolism.
Country folk are said to use it for various other things too including swollen feet, digestion, and externally for rashes and wounds.
HOW TO MAKE DAISY TEA
To make daisy tea, the first step is to make sure you harvest daisies that haven’t been sprayed with any chemicals. If you know your garden is free from chemicals, that’s probably your best bet otherwise find a secluded spot in the countryside, away from arable fields.
To make a small teapot of daisy tea, simply take a small handful of daisies with fairly short stalks, and steep in boiling water and wait for around 5-10 minutes.
Or you can add a couple of small spoonful to a cup of boiling water instead.
You can drink up to three cups a day and as with any herbal remedies if you’re breast-feeding or pregnant it’s best to avoid them just in case, as there isn’t the research available.
WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT DAISY, IT VERY GOOD FOR YOU AND FOR EVERYONE.
