In Feng Shui, the money tree is a plant that brings success, prosperity and wealth. But few know that this plant has an additional benefit: natural health properties.
This tree is said to be an indicator of a person’s health. It is even believed that when it begins to wither, it is because it absorbs the negative energy carried by one of the people living in the home, usually when they are sick.
However, when the person recovers from the illness, the money tree is reborn and turns green again and begins to shine with health. On an energetic level, there is a remarkable connection between people and this incredible plant.
Properties of the money tree
In traditional medicine, a remedy made with the juice of the leaves of this plant is widely used. This is due to its anti-inflammatory, antiviral and high flavonoid and bactericidal properties.
Crassula is a well-known green competitor that, in terms of medicinal properties, is comparable to aloe vera.
Although it is established as a natural remedy, crassula should only be used externally and with caution.
The reason for caution is that it has the ability to accumulate arsenic. However, in houseplants, this ability is reduced because the soil they grow in is poor or arsenic-free compared to wild plants in Africa or Asia.
Hooray
The leaves of the money tree are called calluses. Oddly enough, “calluses” is a very popular name for this plant.
Before applying it, remove the transparent substance from the leaf surface. Then place the leaf over the calluses, secure it with a bandage or plaster and leave it overnight.
It can also be used on burned areas, but only on minor burns without blisters.
