NATURE
amed Greek poet, Homer, first spoke about the wild flower‘hyákinthos’ in 8 century B.C., with a unique tale to it: the hyacinth flower grew from the blood of a young man by the same name, whom Zephyr accidentally killed. True or not, the cluster of purple pods, along with its leaves and shoots, is packed with many benefits. The extracts of the leaves, when mixed with turmeric and rice flower, can help treat eczema. And for a fragrant touch to your mane, add the flowers to your water for the final hair rinse. Traditional Chinese medicine also recommends stir-frying the beans for healthy digestion. However, never ingest the hyacinth flower uncooked, and always check with your health practitioner before adding it to your diet.
