Peace be upon you. Welcome, and how are you? Today I have chosen a different kind of news from before. Everyday issues come and go, and I believe they offer people little benefit: mostly hearsay and lies, especially politics, which is full of lies. Today we will read about pomegranate benefits.
Pomegranate benefits; pomegranate peel benefits; pomegranate juice benefits; pomegranate molasses benefits; pomegranate rind benefits; pomegranate benefits for pregnant women; what are the benefits of pomegranate fruit; and the benefits of pomegranate peel for hair.
Pomegranate is among the loveliest fruits, enjoyed by both the hungry and the well-fed. Sweet pomegranate fruit contains 10.1% sugars, 1% citric acid, 84.20% water, 2.91% ash, 3% protein, 2.91% fiber, tannins, bitter compounds, vitamins A, B and C, and small quantities of iron, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, potash and manganese. Its seeds have a higher fat content, at 7–9%.
The article says scientists have found pomegranate rich in nutrients, especially vitamins, and attributes substantial preventive and therapeutic properties to it. It describes pomegranate as a pain reliever and fever reducer, useful for intense thirst in hot weather, an astringent for diarrhea, and a means of stopping bleeding, particularly from hemorrhoids and mucous membranes.
It claims that pomegranate juice cures some headaches and eye diseases, especially weak eyesight, and that a decoction of its flowers helps treat gum disease and loose gums.
The article also describes pomegranate as useful for high fever, chronic diarrhea, amoebic dysentery, intestinal worms, particularly tapeworm, and hemorrhoids. It further claims benefits for colds, runny noses, skin diseases and scabies, describing a mixture of dried peel powder and honey applied daily as a topical preparation.
It says the ancient Egyptians used burned pomegranate peel mixed with honey to kill intestinal worms, and that applying this mixture could remove smallpox marks. It also claims that sprinkling burned peel on wounds and chronic ulcers heals them.
Finally, it attributes to pomegranate flowers the ability to stop bleeding, treat chronic diarrhea and stop white vaginal discharge.
