There are many fig leaf tea benefits and too numerous to count, but did you know that there are many fig leaf health benefits also for more things than just diabetes? New research has shown that cancer, MRSA, ulcers, heart disease and even sexual dysfunction can be treated with the leaves.
This article will list the 10 top reasons to take fig leaves daily. The fig leaf is part of the mulberry family and in fact we suggest mixing mulberry leaves (toot in Arabic) with the fig leaf for the best tea possible and healing for diabetic patients. As far as homemade remedies are concerned they include such things as diabetes to treating bronchitis, genital warts, liver cirrhosis, high blood pressure, skin problems and ulcers. Fig leaves are not used as much as they should be. Most of the remedies for the fig leaves use the sap or the milk of the sacred tree. Fig tinctures or poultices should be used immediately and fresh batches made daily. The fig tree belongs to the mulberry family. Most all fig leaves researched here were the ficus carica, but other scientific names can be ficus benghalensis, and ficus religiossa. |
DIABETES
The main reason I sell fig leaves on this group is for diabetes. In 2006 research was done and shown that with the use of fig leaf tea, you could reduce, if not eliminate all symptoms of diabetes. As I stated above, I suggest adding in mulberry leaves also. But the ultimate tea is done with Nigella Sativa seeds also. With as little as two teaspoons a day, research showed that diabetes could be cured. Studies showed the glucose levels were reduced with the consumption of fig tea along with cholesterol levels. The tea helped to normalize anti-oxidant levels which help to combat oxidative stress caused by diabetes.

HEART DISEASE
Dried fig leaves have been shown to help to prevent coronary heart disease. They are helpful in lowering triglycerides, which are a primary cause of heart attacks. Dried fig leaves contain Omega 6, Omega 3 and phenol which all help to lower the further chance of heart attacks and coronary heart disease. |
HELP TREAT SKIN CANCER
The ficus carica from Italy was studied to assess their antioxidant and phototoxic activity on human melanoma cells. A relationship between antioxidant, phototoxic activities and chemical composition has also been investigated. The conclusion showed that this type of fig leave provided an excellent source of treatment for some type of skin cancers. Please note this was not a US fig tree but one of Europe origination and so we assert that the Middle Eastern trees and leaves are the best. Source |
PREVENT AND TREAT HYPERTENSION - HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Hypertension is the number one silent killer of adults. It can come on suddenly and without warning. Drinking fig leaf tea with black cumin seeds can and will reduce hypertension levels. A quick way to reduce the levels immediately in case of dire need is to take 2 teaspoons of black seed oil daily. Once the levels are reduced, you can take one teaspoon daily. Take the oil with some organic juice or honey. One teaspoon of honey a day or slightly less is enough and mix it with the oils. For diabetics take it in the tea. This is my favorite black seed oil - Perfect Press Black Seed Oil |
LOWER CHOLESTEROL
Fig leaves contain pectin which is proven to dissolve fiber. The pectin helps the metabolism and it cleans up residues of cholesterol and thus brings the excretory system to pushing them out. As the water dissolves fiber, the pectin triggers regular bowel movements. Thus this proves the fig leaves have a laxative property. Having fiber in your meals would help you avoid cancers such as abdominal cancer, colon and intestinal cancer. Source |
BONE DISEASE
Fig leaves are naturally high in calcium which is necessary for good bone health and prevent the chances of osteoporosis. They are also high in phosphorus content, which stimulates the bone creation and enhance re-development from injuries or bone loss. Source |
ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES
Everyday chew two fig leaves. If you do not have fresh fig leaves then take the fig leaf powder. Fig leaves have fiber and are very good for all types of cancer especially, colon, skin and breast cancers. The body's immune system is improved and harmonized thus allowing the good cells to fight the cancer. Do your body good and have some fig leaf powder. |
WEIGHT LOSS
Fig leaves have a laxative effect and will help you to go to the bathroom often and reduce hunger. Take the fig tea for best results. For extra help, Dr. Sebi said if you took hoodia, you would not be hungry for 4 days. My clients love this hoodia powder from bulk supplements. |
WRINKLES
There are multiple claims from many beauty companies on the efficacy of their products, but recently there have been multiple studies where the fig leaf, and fig extract showed successful results in the treatment of freckles, acne and wrinkles. Creams where the extract was added significantly decreased facial wrinkles, because of the antioxidants it contains and the anti-collagenase activity. Source |
People with allergies to mulberry should be aware that the sap from the stems can be very irritating. Make sure to wear long sleeves and gloves when cutting the leaves from the branches. The allergic reaction can cause severe pain and weeping puss from the sores that take weeks to heal. Some people can go years with no allergic reaction at all. It is only the sap that causes problems, not the leaves themselves.
