It is stated that Vinca roseus/ Catharathus roseus is toxic or highly poisonous. In Italy is is called the plant of death. Yet it said to cure so many diseases. What a contradiction! How can someone prepare it at home in order to avoid toxicity and which parts of the pkants are used for treating which diseases. If the leaves, flowers, stem and roots are dried and then milled into a powder separately and stored under room temperature in sealed containers (eg. Polyethylene satchels, glass bottles or tins with lids on, are the health benefits lost and what is the shelf life under normal room temperature (20 -30 degrees centigrade)?

Take Green Leaf juice for 15 days. Do you suffer from stomach infection ? You may also take Pipali tincture, one drop in half glass of water for 10 days. Consume 4 to 5 fresh Basil leaves after having your major meals. Make detoxifying water for your self to be consumed the entire day : Add half lemon to the container containg 3 to 4 litres of water, 10 mint leaves, orange cut into two halves with the peel, cucumber slices, pinch of baking soda,10 basil leaves.
Drink this throughout the day.
You may drink it regularly.

Dear Kritika, Fenugreek seeds are good for controlling Diabetes but regular intake can cause impotency in some cases. We suggest you take the most effective herb to control Diabetes i.e Gurmar. For Diabetes, try the following: You may buy tincture from a homeopathy shop " Gymnema Sylvestre " ( Gurmar ). Take 5 drops once in a day. Take it for 15 days and keep a regular check on your Blood Sugar.
Write back for further assessment after 15 days. The dosage is to be altered after few days keeping in view the sugar levels.

Hey David. We do check on your own. But reading such forums help to understand about the practicality of the herb. I consider it to be good that multiple people have put their experiences and we can benefit from that.
