As you may already know, avocado, also known as butter fruit has become a very popular health food these days, globally.

Just a few years ago, researchers found that the avocado fruit is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that have numerous health benefits.

More importantly, the avocado fruit is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats, required for various body functions.

Some of the most significant health benefits of the avocado fruit are muscle-building, weight loss, cell regeneration, treating hormone imbalance, etc.

Did you know that apart from the avocado fruit, its leaves can also have a number of health benefits?

Now, natural or herbal remedies for various diseases and ailments are becoming more and more popular, as people are realising that vegetables and fruits come with health benefits that are actually effective.

Many research studies have claimed that vegetables and fruits have properties that can cure and prevent certain disorders even better than medicines. The best part about natural medicine is that, you do not have to worry about undesirable side effects either.

In addition, natural remedies made from vegetables and fruits can also nourish your body well and help improve your health in general, apart from treating disorders.

Similarly, recent research studies have found that avocado leaves too can be extremely healthy for you.

Just boil 3-4 dried avocado leaves in a pan of water and heat this mixture for 20 minutes. Now, separate the leaves from the water, collect the water in a glass and consume it with a teaspoon of honey, 3 days a week, after breakfast.
