Highlights
The leaves are used for medicinal purposes due to their healing quality
They are known to slow down the absorption of sugar in the body
They are good for your heart and help in promoting healthy skin
The custard apple fruit which is available for a short season (August to October) is one
of the most sought after fruits in India. It is made up of a hard green exterior which is
non-edible and the main sweet and fleshy fruit is revealed upon cutting open the
exterior. While the custard apple has countless health benefits like being rich in
antioxidants and minerals like calcium and potassium, its leaves are equally nutritious.
They are prized for their health benefits especially in Ayurveda.
The leaves are often used for medicinal purposes due to their quick healing capability.
They could be applied directly on to the skin or could be used as a combination with
other ingredients. Boiling the leaves and consuming them is believed to be quite
beneficial. Ayurvedic expert, Dr. BN Sinha suggests the following benefits of custard
apple leaves.
Packed with fibers, the leaves are known to slow down the absorption of sugar in our
body and thus, they help in keeping the blood sugar levels in check. Since fiber is
digested slowly, over a period of time, it does not cause sudden spikes in your blood
sugar levels and thus, helps in keeping your digestive tract working well. 2-3 leaves can
be boiled in water and then the mixture can be consumed every morning for best
results.
2. Prevents aging of the skin
The leaves are rich in antioxidants that protect your skin from sun damage and delay
the aging of cells. A herbal tea made with simmering custard apple leaves in water can
be consumed once a day to ensure optimum benefits for the skin.
Potassium and magnesium, present in high quantities in these leaves, are known to
relax the muscles of the heart and thus, help in preventing the risk of strokes and heart
disease.

Boiling the leaves in half a cup of water and consuming the mixture every morning
keeps your metabolism rate and energy levels up through the day. It helps in flushing
out the toxins from your body and you feel more energetic and powerful.
5.Heals wounds
These leaves are a storehouse of benefits. When applied or consumed correctly, they
can do wonders to your health. So, don't throw them away!

Do you want to know more about okra moisturizing? Then make sure to check out our
advice in the next paragraphs!
That is the reason many cosmetic industries are investing in okra to create new lines
and hair treatment products which contain this powerful main active ingredient.
See next which are the main okra benefits for your hair, and why you should include it
in the moisturizing step of your hair schedule to potentialize your hair’s health and
beauty:
It restores hair damaged by chemicals, high-temperature tools (hair dryers, flat
irons, and curling irons), and the action of the weather and natural agents (wind,
sun exposition, humidity, pollution, dust, etc.);
It conditions the hair;
It moisturizes dry, itchy scalps;
It fights dandruff and other hair root seborrhea;
It promotes hair glow and softness.

Hair that has been badly damaged by hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, chemicals,
natural agents and the weather effects can also look very pretty and healthy after okra
moisturizing.
After that, mash the cooked okras with the help of a fork. Then, add two tablespoons
of extra virgin olive oil or your preferred vegetable oil, and mix well.
Now, put everything inside a blender and blend until creamy. When that happens,
pour the cream inside a plastic container and wait until it cools a little.
Lastly, add two tablespoons of the moisturizing mask you regularly use and mix well.
Done! Then, simply apply it on your hair, following the instructions we will show
next.

After your okra moisturizer is ready, wash your hair twice with a sulfate-free shampoo
of your choice. Next, remove the excess water with a towel, leaving your hair just
damp.
Now, detangle your hair and divide it into sections. Apply the homemade okra mask
on each of them, massaging the hair well down the length and to the tips. After
finishing the application on the entire hair, put on a cap (laminated or plastic) and wait
for the mixture to work for about 40 minutes.
Afterward, thoroughly wash your hair with plenty of water and apply your conditioner
of choice. Leave the product on for 5 more minutes or the time recommended on the
bottle and wash off again.

You’re done! This process will help seal the cuticles and retain moisture (water)
inside the hair strands. From then on, finish your hair, as usual, drying it with a
hairdryer and modeling it with a flat iron or, for those who have curly, afro or kinky
hair, letting it dry naturally.
