Guyabano-Dalandan mix for my sick kids

It's been three days since my kids JD and JM suffers from severe cough and colds. We are having sleepless and a lot of boohoo nights as well. 

BIG Sigghhhh... I'm so worried for them because they're not getting a good sleep. And I can't tolerate it anymore. 

To solve the issue, I grabbed 10 leaves of guyabano, boil it and wait until the temperature gets warmish. I added 2 squeezed of dark green oranges citrus.

Viola! They had a sweet tasty and natural citrus juice. Ooops! Consult your doctor before you try  this at home.

The effect: JD and JM were able to sleep soundly the night they drank guyabano-dalandan juice. Sever cough and colds almost gone now. Thanks be to God! 

Why guyabano-dalandan?

Guyabano leaves are believed to have tranquilizing and sedative properties.

Boiling the leaves and drinking may help induce sleep. (click source here) And based from my own experience, truly boiled guyabano leaves made me feel sleepy that time when I drunk 1 to 2 glasses day. The effect lasted for 2 days. That's why I opt to offer this drink to my sleepless kids.

Dalandan is part of the citrus family. citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, and are good sources of folate and potassium. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and protects the body from damaging free radicals (click source here). Of course we need a lot of vitamin C in times of severe cough and colds.

That's all to share today...

Have a nice day!!!
