Sweet Curry Leaves And Their Benefits

Well known in Indian cuisine, the curry spice itself comes from a plant that gives a very distinct flavor depending on the type. Historically, as resourceful members of society, many found that the curry leaves themselves could help with a myriad of issues.

All three parts of the tree, the flowers, berries and leaves, have healing properties and can be used for different health problems. Curry leaves come from a tree typically referred to as Krishnanimba or Girnimba. The leaves would be ground into a paste and applied on burns, wounds, acne, bruises and other skin disorders. Here are some of the most effective uses for curry leaf oil.
