FEDEGOSO TEA

The name may sound strange to you, but this herb can be a great ally to health. Fedegoso, scientific name Cassia occidentalis L , is a plant used for medicinal purposes since the time of our grandparents. It acts as a diuretic, laxative and even anti-inflammatory.

The stinky is characterized as a fast-growing tree that can reach up to 4 meters in height and 4 meters in diameter due to its rounded crown. Originally from Brazil, the plant grows from the state of Amazonas, in the North of the country, to the state of Paraná. The plant has thick roots and small oval-shaped leaves. Its flowering period is between the months of March and April, and it produces small yellow flowers, while its fruiting in the form of pods occurs from April to May.
