If I remember correctly, we also have it here and it is used to be taken mainly by older people because of the properties you mention. As it is an artisanal remedy, so to speak, young people do not take it much.
lol. in Jamaica it is the same trend. I am young though and i have it in my shakes and teas every other week. I alternate weekly with turmeric.
My mom has tried several times to get me to take teas of this and homemade moringa pills but the truth is that I am not very good at taking this kind of remedies.
I guess it's a matter of habit... and a little bit that I've always been told that I'm 'bad mouth', it's an expression used in Venezuela when you refer to a picky eater and drinker.
