The Jamaican Medina plant is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and booster for male sexual health and stamina, but it's also valued for its high iron content to combat fatigue and anemia, and its potential properties for treating colds, fevers and urinary tract infections.

It also possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties.

Culinary suggestions...

To eat a Medina plant, you should make it into a tea by boiling the leaves or whole plant in water for 5-10 minutes, then straining and sweeten to taste or consume it as part of homemade tonics.
