Tuna ( Opuntia Ficusindia) Excellent Jamaican herb for weight loss
The tuna sometimes used as an astringent ,also reduces bleeding. That’s amazing because its binding properties do well for us. It binds other things too but we’ll get to that in a bit. In addition, Tuna treats gastro-intestinal problems like diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome, and its good for enlarged prostate gland conditions.
One of the most valuable properties is its ability to bind fat. This plant is wonderful for weight loss and weight management. And guess what? A controlled study was done on this fat binding process too. It turns out that the cactus fibers do some interesting things when it comes into contact with excess fat. It binds it up immediately and makes the molecules too big for the body to absorb. Then it gets excreted naturally. This process also helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
This reaction also leads to a feeling of being full for a longer period of time since it now takes longer for your food intake to digest. This is truly an amazing plant.
In Jamaica the Tuna leaves are soaked in water overnight and taken to relieve constipation,to clean the intestines,lower fevers and remove mucous from the body.
The yea of the leaves is taken to relieve excessive menstruation and is mixed with cerasee and taken daily to relieve backache.
The fresh sap from the leave is also used as a shampoo to clean and strengthen the scalp and hair,eliminating dandruff,itching and other scalp problems.
