RE: Thank You Vernonia Amygdalina!

We LOVE that you're honestly NOT a herb fanatic, but basically someone who understands their value and maybe likes to learn a bit more.

Vernonia is an AMAZING herb and has so many clinically proven uses. It grows like a weed here in Thailand, and I love it too. Have you ever noticed that even though it's super bitter when you first start chomping on the raw leaf, after maybe 30 seconds of serious chomping it becomes surprisingly SWEET in your mouth? I like to think of that as a metaphor for life - that if we bite down hard briefly on the bitter stuff, it always has a sweet side.

Thank you for joining us in The Herbal Hive and hoping to see you posting and joining in here again. Reblogged with pleasure.

Thank you ☺️... I would definitely love to learn more. That's the major reason I joined this community. I'm looking to read more interesting articles about herbs here.

Wow, I thought in only grew in Africa but I guess I just learned another new thing 😃.

Now that you mentioned it, I can relate. Especially when my mom washes them for soup, she'd ask me to chew on them and at first it'd be bitter. But the aftertaste isn't bad at all. That's definitely life's metaphor!

Adding this to my notepad! It's a brilliant quote 👌❤️.

It is my pleasure, I hope to do so too. Thank you for the reblog, I appreciate it 🥰.
