In addition to beautifying the environment, raising flowers can also decorate living rooms, cultivate one's mind and character. What's more, some flowers can even be used as medicine to treat diseases, which are of great benefit to people's health. The following are several kinds of flowers that can treat diseases. Let's take a look quickly.
Honeysuckle
I believe that friends who are familiar with Chinese medicinal materials are definitely no strangers to honeysuckle. It always shows up when people have a cold or a fever. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxins. Drinking honeysuckle tea regularly can relieve symptoms such as colds, sore throats, help with weight loss, and clear internal heat. The whole plant of honeysuckle is elegant in shape. Its flowers are white at the beginning of blooming and will gradually turn yellow later, with a faint fragrance.
The daily maintenance of honeysuckle is relatively simple. The suitable growth temperature is 15 - 25 degrees Celsius, and it can tolerate a minimum temperature of - 30 degrees Celsius. In terms of watering, it likes a humid environment, so it needs to be watered more frequently. However, it should also be noted that there should be no waterlogging at the bottom of the flowerpot, otherwise the roots will be easily damaged. The best state of the soil is slightly moist. When the surface of the soil is dry, it can be watered thoroughly immediately.
Osmanthus
Osmanthus looks plain and unadorned, but it can emit a refreshing floral fragrance. Its flowering period is usually in autumn, when a large number of golden or orange flowers will bloom on the branches, presenting a beautiful scene. In addition, its flowers can be used to make tea for drinking, which can resolve phlegm, relieve coughs, and improve one's complexion.
How to maintain it in daily life? The suitable temperature is 15 - 28 degrees Celsius. It likes fertile slightly acidic soil. During hot summers, it is necessary to open windows frequently to ensure good ventilation. Watering should not be too frequent. Just keep the soil in the pot moist. Avoid long-term waterlogging in the pot.
Lavender
After lavender blooms, it will naturally emit a special grassy fragrance. This fragrance has been widely extracted and applied, having the functions of calming the nerves, soothing emotions, and tranquilizing the mind. In addition, drinking lavender tea can also relieve symptoms such as neurotic headaches and prevent colds.
In terms of maintenance, as long as it is given sufficient sunlight, everything else is quite simple. It likes sunlight, so it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day, which is crucial for the production of its essential oil. In terms of water, lavender is drought-tolerant. Watering should be less and deeper. Keep the soil slightly dry. It is recommended to water it once a week in spring and autumn and once a month in winter.
