Glancing at Ki Tolod's flowers and their history

Hello Guys ... How are you today?


(Ki Tolod or Isotoma longiflora 2021)

Ki Tolod or the plant known in Latin Isotoma longiflora", is a plant that grows by itself in a location where weeds are found, if it is in the middle of the grass, it is barely visible to one's eyes because it is have a mini size.

Sometimes there are also some people who cultivate it voluntarily for certain purposes in every area in all corners of this country. But today it is often seen in front of someone's house close to other plants that are deliberately grown for certain purposes.

In an area in a certain location grows so much weeds and in it there is this Ki Tolod plant, if you look at things like this, then some people think their presence is meaningless, because they seem to be ignored in every situation they see. But it should be noted that this plant has things that are useful when viewed from the properties.

In its history it has been discussed about this plant, and history also says this plant comes from one of the countries namely, the Americas and the more famous ones from the United States and South America. As time went on, it spread to all corners of the country within their respective continents. His fame is attributed to a treatment in herbal form.

I myself am interested in this plant in several ways, both in terms of shape, benefits, and also the various names it has. This is very common in our country, if the plant has things like benefits, it will immediately be in the lyrics and always in the interest of everyone, whether experts, ordinary people, or even traditional healers.

Based on the long history of our nation, or before entering a sophisticated era like today, our ancestors used this plant to treat eye disorders, which were processed traditionally, with a simple concoction they treated their eyes with the sap found in this plant. Thus, this plant in the title until now kitolod can be called as a traditional eye-specialist herbal medicine.

However, if you have no experience in the field, then never do it yourself as it can have unwanted effects. Although this method is very simple but the eyes are very sensitive, only traditional medicine experts understand the magnitude of giving for healing, but if there is a medical expert who has been prepared hygienically and has been formulated in the form of eye drops. Then it is safer to take.

In my own view, apart from having an extraordinary function in terms of health, I also see that it has treasures in traditional medicine, also has useful things, which have been around for a long time and are still a top priority in today's situation. Despite experiencing the stinging of one's eyes when the watery sap is touched by the very sensitive but enthusiastic eyes of the people here still rely on it.

On the other hand, I also admire, of course, in the shape or formation of the flower itself at the location of the petals, it looks very good when it starts to appear until it is fully bloomed, the flower fingers are five strands, making it even sweeter if you look at it, and you complimented him in a description. So the characteristics of the leaves are much different from other plants, meaning that the leaves are very beautiful and special both in shape and vice versa. So that it looks elegant between flowers and leaves, the color combination is also very stunning, when green and white are combined in one flower container, and deserves to be shared in the Petalscommunity and the communities that approach them.
