Blog #44: The Effects of Drinking Blue Ternate Infusion Based in My Own Experience

in #hive-1200783 years ago

I remember 2 years ago when a close friend asked me, would you like to drink blue ternate tea? I had never touched nor tried it yet the time she ask me, I had constantly seen that plant in my friend's fb post. Well, they have many blue ternate plant in their garden so she offered some of it to me for free. That was the first time I had tried to drink blue ternate infusion when she brought some of it at home.

Hey Hivers!

When I returned back to Cebu last January this year, I thought I could no longer drink this blue ternate infusion because I haven't seen it here unlike in Leyte.

I was surprised when my cousin's wife told me that she have blue ternate in her garden and she and his husband (my cousin) drink that too.

Do you have this plant at home?

According to my friend 2 years ago, our neighbors in Leyte are also consumer of this plant because it was known to cure some illness. I don't know how true it is.

As I made research about this on the internet, this is also called butterfly pea and I had read some benefits of this plant.

According to research, there are health benefits that we could get from this plant and here's some of it.

Benefits of Blue Ternate
Butterfly flower power tea has several health benefits. Consuming this tea regularly can improve the overall health of the brain, skin, hair, and body. However, it may not completely cure a medical condition. Serious medical conditions, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes, hypertension, or serious skin and/or hair problems, require medical attention. If you are undergoing medical treatment for a particular medical condition, you may consult with your doctor if you can take butterfly pea flower tear alongside the medical treatment. Butterfly flower power tea is found to be safe in pregnant women as well. However, consult with your doctor before drinking the tea during pregnancy.

My Own Experience
I love drinking tea so drinking blue ternate infusion was not hard for me unlike other people who can't tolerate the taste of the herbal medicines. The taste was ok. What I had observed within 2 consecutive weeks of drinking this infusion was first, I always felt hungry. I ate every now and then which is unusual to me. Second, it made me drowsy the whole day. I always felt sleepy. It seems that I took vitamins.

Last week, my cousin's wife gave this to us because she has already enough blue ternate for their own consumption. My brother and his wife drink that infusion and they love it too.

Some people will drink this infusion with a little twist. They will add a little amount of lemon juice.

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.

Wow that is so cool.
I have never heard of this flower- unless it's what we call a Sweet Pea over here..I will definitely check cause it's such a pretty flower too and my favourite colour!

What does it taste like?

OK so just to clarify, it made you hungry? OR stopped you craving instead?

And

It made you feel tired and sleepy all day OR it gave you energy???

It made me always hungry and made me always sleepy. I think it's up to your body how would it reacts to the blue ternate infusion.

Hmm that's interesting isn't it.

What about your family members, do they get the same reaction when they drink it?

My sister in-law told me that her appetite increased. I haven't asked my brother yet about it.

Hmm interesting. Though I certainly don't need my appetite (waistline) to increase....😱🤣

Nor do I want to feel any more sleepy as it's already hard enough to get out of bed most days cause I'm soooo exhausted.

I want something to GIVE me energy as well as the good health benefits...

My mother keeps on drinking this too every morning. She said she felt like she could urine well. I'm not sure what's the effect since I haven't tried it.

Just try it, the taste is not that bad.

daghan kay ni buwaka dri sa amo dalan ba, ka dungog na pud ko na pwede daw himoon tea, nice ra iya flavor maam?

Ok ra man sir pero ambot lang sa dli hlig moinum ug tea kay lahi2x man gud ta panlasa

To be honest, I don't know it and have never tried it. But I am very curious to try it and know how it tastes. I love tea, I have tasted so many types of tea that this should not be the excepetion, so I will investigate where I can find it here...
