Have you ever seen a Butterfly Pea plant or wildflower? The beautiful blue color of the flower is a distinct character marker and is used as a natural food dye. This plant is a part of the pea family (Fabaceae), also known as Clitoria ternatea, and originated from Southeast Asia but has migrated throughout the world. However, this herb is so much more than just a pretty flower.
Butterfly Pea has many different health benefits. It is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and appetite suppressant. It’s no wonder that this amazing little herb has become so popular.
Did you know antioxidants play a vital role in fighting free radicals – unstable molecules produced during cell metabolism? These powerful compounds are believed to help combat certain cancers and chronic illnesses and even slow the aging process. That’s why Butterfly Pea is a popular ingredient in cosmetics and anti-aging products. It works wonders for your skin by boosting collagen production, improving tone and texture, and fading those stubborn age spots. Plus, it nourishes hair follicles, promoting healthy growth and reducing hair loss. No wonder the beauty industry has relied on it for years!
As an anti-inflammatory, Butterfly Pea also helps reduce swelling, making it beneficial for various conditions, including IBS. It can ease joint pain, offering relief for arthritis and other inflammatory issues.
Butterfly Pea is also a wonderful antibacterial. Its properties fight gram-positive bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. It can even help with lung infections such as pneumonia. Butterfly Pea is used as a cough expectorant for different forms of respiratory inflictions. Drinking Butterfly Pea tea can help treat asthma and other lung allergies, too.
