The best use for components of bitter leaf tree (Gymnanthemum extensum, syn. Vernonia amygdalina, Pim Pai Lin; 展枝斑鸠菊 zhan zhi ban jiu ju in Chinese; หนานเฉาเหว่ย nan chao woe in Thai) will vary, depending on your ailment and who you ask. It has a number of folkloric uses that vary by different regions throughout the world, especially in parts of Asia and Africa. Leaves of bitter leaf tree can apparently be used for everything from a crispy substitute for salad greens, to treating parasitic worms, to regulating issues for diabetics, to treating Malaria symptoms. Simply put: Bitter leaf tree is an edible plant that aligns with the thinking that bitter foods are key to digestion support and general well-being.

Bitterness in plants like Gymnanthemum extensum is an evolutionary trait to discourage animals from grazing on it. However tempted herbalists learned that you can offset the bitter taste of the leaves by boiling or soaking them in multiple changes of water. This member of the Asteraceae family varies in size, growing anywhere from a small shrub in some regions, to twenty-foot-high trees in other parts of the world. In the wild, it can be found by a sweet trademark scent, thriving near sources of water like rivers and lakes, or areas with high rainfall and humidity.

Prime harvesting time is during the rainy season, when clipping shoots when water is high will encourage new shoots to grow. Traditional uses of bitter leaf tree include ingestion of water-based extracts for alleged treatment of liver diseases, gastrointestinal issues, bacterial infections, malaria, diabetes, kidney problems, and more. We highly suggest consulting medical professionals before any DIY-doctoring for these issues.

THE book for aspiring mystics / truth seekers from any tradition
This has been the most transformative spiritual text I've ever read, and it's a short read -- just a handful of chapters. However, it's something you'll come back to over and over again as you digest individual passages with new understandings you gain on your journey. This is also my favorite translation by far. Imam Gazzali is truly an enlightened individual and a saint for creating such amazing and instructive works. Don't be deterred if you don't come from the Islamic tradition. He answers burning questions that truth seeker might have about truth and purpose.

One of the best books on Islam
This book is mandatory reading for everyone at the age of 16. Just when we think that the world revolves around us and will probably continue to think so for the next 15 years; this book jolts you out of very gently where you realize that life is bigger than parties, the next boyfriend/girlfriend, clothes and other issues that seem very important. Al-Ghazali's The Alchemy of Happiness, is a translation of the first 8 chapters of Kimya-e-Saadat, a book in persian language. It is not long, easy to read and the first four chapters are enough to set anyone's course in life. While most references to his points are from Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's sayings and teachings) and Quran; it is not specific to any religion which makes this book truly universal. Whether the reader is a Christian, a Jew, an Atheist or a Buddhist; they will find this book a very good read. Simply because it does not set out to convert anyone here; just states how a life should be lead. At the end, if an atheist does not set out to seek a religion to subscribe to then they have truly lost an opportunity.

Beautifully written book! This book is the way leading to utmost and absolute Happiness!
Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali (God be pleased with him) has composed a magnificient book which is, in my point of view, one of the outmost and greatest spiritual book that ever existed in the chronicles of time! The real way for the mankind to attain ultimate happiness is to read, understand and apply what this book is revealing! Verily, as Imam Al-Guazali declares, the ultimate happiness is to know God Almighty in order to truly love him and He who truly loves God, God loves Him too!

A must read for all believers!
Practical advice on developing the higher self to command the lower self to achieve internal happiness that is not dependent on worldly outcomes. If you are an atheist then you might only benefit from the first couple chapters, some of the later chapters are more theoretical supported by logic based on holy scriptures like the Quran, Hadith, or Psalms. This is a must-read for all believers, especially Muslims! Many blessings to Al-Ghazzali, this book is one of my all-time favorites!
