Sonzy Edition : January 1st Issue Date : 10/01/2002 Dear NatureLover, Happy New Year to you. May this bring year the best for your health and wealth.

Also introduced special Combination packs which are detailed later in this issue. Herb of the Month ================== Edward, one of our rs had asked about DragonFruit. What is it? Does it have any medicinal value. Answer : Dear Edward Thanks for choosing me to answer your question. Dragon fruit (Hylocereus Undatus) has a few medicinal qualities. It is also called " Strawberry Pear " . The ripe strawberry pear is much appreciated, especially if chilled and cut in half so that the flesh can be eaten with a spoon. The juice is enjoyed as a cool drink. A sirup made of the whole fruit is used to color pastries and candy. The unopened flowerbud can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable. The sap of the stems of H. undatus has been utilized as a vermifuge but it is said to be caustic and hazardous. The air-dried, powdered stems contain B-sitosterol. Dragonfruit is also used in a popular drink/tea called " Fire " which is a drink fortified with ginseng, ginkgo biloba and guarana which is used as an energy booster. Its also used in different beverages to prevent/treat prevention and relief from women specific problems (i.e. bladder infections, hormonal balance and menstrual complications). Other parts of Pitahaya are also used in different countries. Since its a cactus species, " To keep the stomach warm " and to make the milk flow after childbirth, a gruel is made from sahuaro (This is common name of Pitahaya). The ripe fruit is picked with a long forked stick and the skin removed and discarded. A little water is added to the pulp, which is boiled until it becomes light in color; it is then drained and spread to dry. Next the seeds are removed by stirring the pulp around in a basket, then they are ground on a metate and mixed with an equal quantity of whole wheat. Boiling water is now added, and the whole cooked until it resembles a thin porridge, which is seasoned with salt.
