The healing power of black mulberry and white mulberry
-
The black mulberry is native to Southwest Asia. Because the plant has been cultivated since time immemorial, it is not clear exactly where the tree, which can reach a height of 10 meters, originally grows. The plant has grown wild in large parts of Asia and Europe due to its cultivation. The leaves of this plant fall off when they are mature and the edible, black mulberry has black colored fruits that are reminiscent of blackberries or raspberries in appearance. In herbal medicine, both the fruit and the leaf of this shrub are used for their medicinal capacities. It is mainly used as a mouthwash for sore throats and mouth ulcers and the leaf has blood sugar lowering properties, which can be used in people with type 2 diabetes.
