Health benefits of leaf of life

An herbal tea made from this herb is useful to treat conditions such as shortness of breath, kidney failure, menstrual problems, asthma, coughs, bronchitis, as well as chest cold.

I remembered a few years ago, I started having series of short of breath. I did not know what was causing this sudden attack. I knew about this herb and decided to give it a try.

After taking it in the night before retiring to bed, I started feeling much better. In the morning the short of breath had disappeared until this very day. 

I still consume it whether I am having short of breath or not because of other benefits.  The tea is also an excellent remedy to calm the nerves.

It is also a good herbal remedy to remove harmful bacteria from the intestines and it will also clears up the urine.
