Mulberry is a miracle of nature. Its beneficial effects are used almost everywhere today. Precisely because of its properties, it should not be missing in any household.
Here we have white, black and red mulberries. Its fruits can be easily mistaken for raspberries. Perhaps for that reason it is often referred to as a tree raspberry. The mulberry silkworm especially enjoys the leaves of the mulberry.
For this reason mulberries were planted near roads and their fruits were dried, then ground into powder and used as an artificial sweetener.
Syrups, fruit wines and jams are also prepared from mulberries.

Some experts claim that not only the fruits of the mulberry are miraculous, but also the bark or letters, which prevent aging and help with many ailments.
Black mulberry for infections
This mulberry has a wide range of medicinal properties. It is used to treat urinary tract infections and respiratory and throat diseases. Dizziness, insomnia or depression are commonly treated with this fruit. The juice helps with coughs or problems with excessive urination or sweating. It also acts beneficially on canker sores, that is, it very effectively heals wounds on the gums. Unripe fruits help with diarrhea and, conversely, overripe ones help with constipation.
White mulberry has found its use in cosmetics
This mulberry is most used in cosmetics. White mulberry is included in many cosmetic preparations designed for skin whitening and removal of pigment spots, because it contains inhibitors that reduce melanin synthesis. Many eye creams contain white mulberry for toning and cleansing the face. Its effects are similar to those of black mulberry; it acts in arthritis, physical weakness, eye diseases, and instability of the nervous system.
Mulberry bark for healthier intestines
The bark is an excellent remedy against intestinal parasites. It helps in the treatment of the intestines and stomach. It also helps in cases of food poisoning, whether from alcohol or mushrooms. A powder is also made from the bark, which is used externally on wounds.
The fruits are mostly harvested from June to August, and the leaves in spring. With mulberries it is particularly advantageous that the fruits can be consumed fresh as well as dried. Mulberry has truly flexible uses and its consumption can only help our health.
Leaf tea from black mulberry for diabetics
The life of diabetics is certainly not easy. Every day they must watch their blood sugar levels. For many problems associated with diabetes, tea from mulberry leaves can help.
About 50 grams of mulberry leaves are poured with half a liter of boiling water and left to steep for ten minutes. Strain the tea and drink it during the day.
Syrup for throat inflammations and fever
We pour one kilogram of black mulberry berries with half a liter of water and add two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Let the prepared syrup stand for 24 hours. The next day add a kilogram of brown sugar or another natural sweetener to the mixture. Cook the syrup to the desired thickness. Pour the prepared syrup into sterilized bottles and drink several times a day diluted with water.
But even with this miraculous plant you should keep in mind that too much of anything is harmful. Therefore you shouldn’t overdo it even with the mulberry. Excessive consumption can cause hallucinations or digestive problems. And in the end you may harm yourself more than benefit. Give your body a pinch of mulberry every day and your health will thank you.
A miracle for weight loss
The natural compound called rutin, which mulberry contains, can activate brown fat in the body, which helps burn calories.
Brown fat is usually activated by cold weather, but rutin can also activate it. The role of brown fat, also known as “good fat”, is to convert food into heat. Consuming mulberries can therefore help people burn more calories.
Another advantage of rutin is that it helps balance blood glucose levels. You can add mulberry fruits to your diet, or the leaves of white and black mulberry can be purchased dried as tea.
