Guava Leaf

Guava Leaf

Kuawa — fragrant leaves traditionally brewed for the stomach

Young kuawa leaves open bright and tender beside white blossoms and green fruit. Their clean, gently astringent scent has long made them a familiar garden remedy.

Simple recipe: rinse a few young guava leaves, simmer them in water for about ten minutes, then strain. Let the tea cool slightly and sip it plain; seek medical care for persistent or severe stomach symptoms.
