INTERESTING FACT ABOUT VITAMIN B12

B12 is the only vitamin that we are unable to get from a plant-based diet even one laden with whole foods, fruits and vegetables. Many herbivorous mammals, including cattle and sheep, absorb B12 produced by bacteria in their digestive system.

The suggestion that spirulina, nori, tempeh, and barley grass, as suitable non-animal sources of B12 have been disproved.

B12 DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS

Severe and long-term insufficient B12 levels can cause anaemia and/or damage to the nervous system.

ADULT DEFICIENCY;

Symptoms of low B12 are slow to show and can take months and years to emerge. Look out for things like reduced energy levels, low sensitivity to pain, tingling in the extremities, blurry vision, memory defects, cognitive confusion, altered personality and even hallucinations. Loss of energy,

INFANT DEFICIENCY

Permanent damage in infants that are deficient in B12 is possible without prompt remedial steps. Infants low in B12 usually occur when the infant has a strictly plant-based diet or when breastfeeding mothers are B12 deficient.

MALLOW LEAF

Common Mallow – Health Benefits and Side Effects

Botanical Name: Malva sylvestris L, Malva vulgaris.

The botanical name Malva comes from the Greek word “malaxos”, meaning slimy, or to soften.

Other Common Names: Mallow, zebrina mallow, blue mallow, cheese-cake, high mallow, marsh mallow, cheese flower, malva (Spanish), malve (German), rödmalva (Swedish), mauve (French), almindelig katost (Danish).

Habitat: The species is native to the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, but is now naturalized in many parts of the world.

Plant Description: Mallow is a biennial or perennial plant of the Malvaceae plant family. It is covered with small hairs and usually has creeping stems. It can grow up to one meter in height.

The leaves are dark green, and the flowers are pink with purple darker veins (the flowers of Mauritanian mallow are deep purple). The flowers are 2 to 5 cm wide and the petals are three to four times longer than the cup. The fruit is ring-shaped and splits into numerous small seed.

Plant Parts Used: Flowers and leaves. The large young leaves that are not infected by rust fungus (a common ailment for this plant) can be used in herbal medicine and as food.

Mauritanian mallow also called high mallow (Malva sylvestris spp. Mauritiana L.) is a subspecies of common mallow. It is especially rich in mucilage and the flowers of this subspecies are therefore used extensively in herbal medicine.

The leaves and flower buds contain mucus, tannins, flavonoids, essential oil, vitamin C and other substances. The anthocyanin glycoside malvin, a naturally occurring chemical, is only found in the flowers.Malva sylvestris is used traditionally as a herbal remedy for asthma, bronchitis, coughing, throat infections and emphysema.

It is also used to treat wounds or inflammation of the mucous membrane in the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines.

Other uses of this herb in traditional herbal medicine include the treatment of gallstones, kidney stones, kidney inflammation, headache, constipation, gastritis, toothaches and insomnia.

due to the astringent, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties of the plant it can be useful externally as an herbal treatment for wounds, boils, skin rashes, insect bites, pimples, eczema, acne and swellings.

Common mallow has many similar health uses as a marshmallow (Althaea officinalis).

Common mallow is a popular herb to treat respiratory problems since it has healing properties that may help the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. The herb contains a lot of mucous substances that cover the inflamed tissue with a protective layer.

A tea made from the leaves or flowers may be used as a remedy for a cough, catarrh and hoarseness. The flowers and leaves should be allowed to soak for a few hours in lukewarm water before use. To preserve the medical properties of the plant, it should not be boiled.

Today, the dried flowers and extracts are used in many commercial tea blends and over-the-counter medication intended as a relief for coughs.

Tea made from the herb is said to help nursing mothers to produce more milk.

Malva sylvestris has also its uses as a source of food. The seeds taste similar to young hazelnuts and they can easily be included in green salads along with the leaves and flowers. The use of common mallow in the kitchen is mostly forgotten but it definitely deserves to make a comeback.
