what kind of tree leaves can be used as alternative medicine?

Question

i know that in plants it has a compound called chloryphyll thats suppose to be good for ur body. i was wondering is there any kind of tree leaves that i can smash and use its extract to make medicine. if anyone knows please help me.

Answer 1

Don't ingest eucalyptus or tea tree leaves! They are both poisonous. The essential oils in both can be distilled or extracted by alcohol.

There are birch leaves that are used as a diuretic, also packed on the skin for some kinds of arthritis.
The only other tree I can think of where the leaves are infused and dilate the small blood vessels (useful for migraine and other conditions caused by insufficient circulation) is gingko biloba.

If you want to increase your intake of chlorophyll you'd better stick to the traditional vegetables, the greener, the better.

Answer 2

I am not sure your question has any substance. Clorophyll is the green colored pigment which is found in all leaves. But all leaves dont help you healthwise. So please get your facts correct. Dont crush any leaf to help you. Mint leaves, ajwain leaves, holy basil leaves, and leaves of a lot of plant impart medicinal effects for different ailments. Just taking these extracts doesnt mean you are helping yourself.

Take care.

Answer 4

Chlorophyll is in every single green plant, from grass to green leaves. Plants use it to convert nutrients into sugar, in the process called photosynthesis. While it won't hurt you, it probably won't do much for you either, unless you're a plant. Stick to complex carbohydrates, protein, fruits, and vegetables.

Answer 5

eucalyptus leaves and tea tree oil leaves.
