This Vegetable is Medicine
Leeks have been cultivated and valued for over 4,000 years. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans valued leeks not only as a source of nutrition but also for their medicinal properties.
Leeks belong to the same botanical family as onions and garlic, and therefore share many of their health-promoting properties, but in a milder form.
One of the main benefits of leeks is that they help the body eliminate uric acid, which can be especially helpful for people suffering from gout or arthritis.
For urinary tract problems or conditions such as bladder infections, traditional herbalists recommend applying a warm compress of boiled leeks to the lower abdomen. This ancient technique is said to promote healing and relieve pain naturally.
