Good evening to all my Hive friends! Among the many plants growing in my garden, Heen Bovitiya (Osbeckia octandra) holds a special place. With its delicate purple flowers and vibrant green leaves, this fascinating plant adds a touch of natural beauty to my surroundings. I have about three of these trees in my home garden.
Beyond its beauty, Heen Bovitiya is well known for its valuable medicinal properties, making it a truly special part of my garden.
Heen Bovitiya, which is native to Sri Lanka, is widely used in our traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is well known for its ability to support liver health, improve digestion, and regulate blood sugar levels. The leaves of this plant are often used to prepare medicinal porridge (kanda), which is consumed as a natural remedy.
Every time I look at my Heen Bovitiya plant, I appreciate the perfect balance between beauty and healing that nature provides. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between plants and human well-being. If you have space in your garden, I highly recommend growing Heen Bovitiya—not just for its beauty but also for the incredible health benefits it offers.
Thank you reading
Have A nice day.
Best Regards,
Samadi Madushanki .
