- Recent Discoveries about Sleepy Morning: The plant was first discovered in Hawaii and was thought to be a weed at the time and so was destroyed frequently. It took more than a century for locals to realise that it was indeed a shrub flower with very intriguing properties. They came to this discovery after realising that the Sleepy Morning comes from the Cocoa family, and so it was thought that it too could be used to produce delicious desserts. This is not the case with the Sleepy Morning however, because its taste is too bitter to be used in any kind of dessert, and adding sugar to improve the taste would completely ruin its medicinal properties. While the plant can be easily planted in other areas, it is very unlikely to survive weather conditions that are not based on heat. In such cases, it will wither quickly and will not produce any of the very important seeds that are used from it. In terms of the benefits of this particular medicinal plant, much is still left to be discovered about it, and researchers are constantly trying to improve their knowledge of where the Sleepy Morning can be most effectively used.
- Common Use of Sleepy Morning: All parts of the Waltheria americana can be developed into edible and usable counterparts. The leaves are turned into tea, the stem of the plant is developed into oil, the flowers are edible (although very bitter) and the seeds create the best concentration of oil. The production of this plant require specially designed machines to do the job, especially when it comes to excreting the oils, because the seeds have very hard shells and cannot be produced manually. Also, each seed brings with it only a very small amount of oil, and it would take very large numbers of seed in order to produce a reasonable amount of oil. For this reason, and because the plant cannot be grown in all areas of the world, the Sleepy Morning is best purchased from suppliers who have already made the most of the plant. The only part of the Sleepy Morning that is rarely used is its roots. Although they can be used in the production of oil as well, they are usual not used because the root are susceptible to insects that feed on them. Because of this, they are often dry and without much liquid inside them, so they are not used.
- Reported Effects of Sleepy Morning: There is still much research to be done regarding the Sleepy Morning, and only few of its medicinal properties are currently known. One of its most popular uses is as an anaesthetic. The oil can be used to soothe painful gums, and it can also help with the chronic asthma because it gentle relieves the soft tissue of the throat. As a tea, the Sleepy Morning is used to help fight against common colds which are often frequent in specific times of the year. The tea can also help with painful menstruations and diarrhea. However, it is important that you always use this particular plant in small doses because there is still much that needs to be discovered about it.
General Information about Sleepy Morning: The Waltheria indica is a beautiful flowering plant that is more commonly known as Sleepy Morning. It is one of the most tropical plants in its flower family and is often found in the hottest regions of the world, including South America, Africa and India. More likely than being a flower, this plant is a shrub, which means that it grows in large numbers but over smaller surfaces. It is a weak plant in terms of its sustainability to changing weather, so it requires the help of other plants to protect itself. Although it is a slim shrub, this plant can grow up to 6 feet tall and can stretch for a long length of land if it is coupled with more than one of its kind. The entire plant is covered in tiny little hairs that help the plant reduce its temperature in extreme heat by creating tiny little wind waves around the stem of the plant. The leaves have many veins in them which further help the plant with a more even distribution of water to keep it hydrated and to help it last longer in the scorching weather conditions that it likes to grow in. when each of its yellow flower matures, it holds inside it many seeds, which are used both for further reproduction of the plant, and are also the key medicinal aspect of the Sleepy Morning.
