In the past week week we were challenged to write information about what plants should Ruapotaka School should choose ……
I have chose four plants that I guarantee we will get, because of it’s reasons and purposes health wise. Medical plants have been planted everywhere across the entire world and most of them help effectively. Besides vegetables we should get medical plants helping in oral health and the health of every part of your body. My parents always make this Tongan drink called “Vai” or Haka’vai made from china by my cousin who is in fact a doctor. She created it and sent it to my uncles and aunties in Tonga. It helps with digesting food and making it come out. Helps when you are trying to lose weight. While creating this information I figured that we should open our old dentist for an after school programme. It would be a place where parents can bring their children and we could inspect their teeth and gums.
Here is the four plants –
Ginger –
- Ginger could be used for the use of creating medicine in the sickbay. –
- Ginger would be used to help prevent or treat nausea and vomiting from any sort of sickness. –
- Ginger is also known for it’s natural strong smell.
- Helps / aids in the digestion system for children.
- If mixed with the right ingredients it can then be made to soothe down little children.
- In my opinion, My father makes a medicine named vai that helps you digest your food and it is combined with herbs and ginger. It really does help after eating something very hot.
Cinamon –
- It is used for dental health
- Reduces germs and oral cavities to the mouth.
- This gives us an opportunity to restart having our own dental clinic for children – say of an afterschool program. For parents to bring children here for a check-up making sure every child has healthy gums.
- Cinnamon might have one purpose in oral health but it is very important that you have healthy teeth.
- This is an affective plant
