  • Everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health and that it is very difficult to quit. Nicotine is very dangerous and contagious, making you crave it more and more. If you want to quit smoking, this natural remedy is best for you. Recent research conducted in Germany has shown that this plant helps to quit nicotine and alcohol and successfully suppresses the desire for it again. It blocks the signals in your brain that send you a craving for nicotine. If you want to quit smoking, it is enough to consume a very small amount. Stevia plant belongs to the order Chrysanthemum and originates from Paraguay. It was often used as a sweetener before that, until a medical effect was discovered. You can find it in the form of liquid or powder, and it is healthy to use it in your diet. Stevia is also recommended for all those who want to lose weight and have normal blood pressure. It is also good for diabetics. You can use it as a face mask to tighten the skin and make it soft. It is good against acne and as an anti-aging product.

Best of all, you can grow it all by yourself.

  • Stevia grows all year round, but cannot bloom in cold temperatures. However, the roots remain intact and grow again in the spring. Plant it in a 30 cm pot and use quality soil. Let it be under the direct influence of the sun's rays, and water it regularly so that it does not dry out.

  • Make sure there is enough space around you. It grows about 40 cm in height depending on the season. It is best to wait for the winter to pass and then plant it. Water it regularly in summer. Stevia blooms in the fall, so you can remove the small white flowers to grow new ones. At this time, the plant grows and not all leaves are healthy.

  • Dry the leaves, and you will be able to use them for a long time. Cut the stalk and leave only the leaves. Arrange them on a light cloth and dry them out of the sun.

  • The leaves will dry in one day. Pick them up and put them in a bowl. Then grind them into powder by hand or with a grinder.

  • Store stevia powder in a well-sealed container or jar and sweeten the food and drink as desired.

  • Take care that the moist soil does not suit this plant, so that the root does not rot. If it starts to wither, then the roots are rotten. Sometimes insects can be a problem.
