Emile Bimenyimana's post on Goodwall - Kalanchoe crenata which is also known as "miracle plant" in many African countries is a rare wild medicinal plant that grows generally in warm regions. It is called "Ikizírankúrwa" in Kirundi. This plant is known for its greatest effect on symptoms of a large number of diseases. Kalanchoe crenata is used to treat diseases like pulmonary infection, gastric ulcer, kidney stones, intestinal worms, diarrhea, constipation, acute cough, arthritis, headache and many more. 🌵 🌵☘️ In Burundi rural areas where health services may not be found in every one's proximity, Kalanchoe is miraculously used in emergency cases to alleviate effects of any unknown disease before taking a patient to hospital. ☘️ ☘️ To avoid that this rare medicinal plant vanishes, people have now started growing the plant around home where it serves for both medical and ornamental purposes.🪴🪴 I wonder what my own sickly child life would have become had it been no Kalanchoe in the village where I was born. 🌿☘️
