Native blood pump.

Native blood pump.

Can these leaves be eaten? I often see similar leaves in the wild when hunting insects.
We boil it and drink it as blood medicine, once you boil it, the water turns to blood like colour. But I have not seen any one that cooks it as a vegetable.
Does it really pump the blood, or it's just a red colored plant when cooked
It's a blood medicine, when you boil the leaf, the colour of the water turns to blood and it pumps blood like never before, once you take it.
I usually take this months back
I stopped because I no longer go around the river area I usually get them
..nice leaves
