health benefit of cochurus olitorius (ewedu)

                   COCHURUS OLITURIUS (Ewedu)

HI guyz! Am sorry for not being around lately. am in a lot :tailoring classes, I have fabric that must turn to dress, school resumed on Monday buh not to worry, I can handle it.

someone told me about the health benefits of jute(cochurus olitorius) to pregnant women, it was believed that it helps labour.

In the Yoruba part of Nigeria, it was believed that squeezing this

plant from the leave to stem for women in labour helps  ease their labour. while I was trying to verify this theory ,I discovered it has not been scientifically verified but some women  claimed it has really helped their labour. in the course of my  research I found something very interesting.
