@offbabylon: Water from banana stem is extracted by cutting it down, and leaving about a foot of a stump. Scoop out a bowl in the remaining stump with a knife and cover it. Water will collect in the stump for about four to five days In Swahili land, this is not common practice so to get details on this I had to check around to different sources and I found these three concerns interesting. Number one make sense on why they were using this water and number three I think made a conclusion on only scientific basis not other aspects. Let us know what you think of this! 1….. practiced in remote areas in the neighboring mountain folks, more specifically when there are shortage of water or drought months. Development in medical fields where laboratory water test for physical , chemical and bacteriological were necessitated from drawn samples and revealed that paramaters in fecal coliforms, total coliforms, heterotrophic plate count and Ph have failed from the standards of Drinking Water therefore are not potable. 2…Based on water laboratory test, water from banana tree, extracted for the purpose of drinking are not fit, it contain harmful bacteria that can cause severe stomach or health‭ ‬ problems, further‭ ‬we‭ ‬conclude‭ ‬that even, in‭ ‬nature‭ ‬it‭ ‬was‭ ‬filtered‭ ‬by‭ ‬soil‭ ‬ ‭ ‬ and its process are that of reverse osmosis, yet it’s water exhibit multitudes of bacteria’s from inconspicuous, fiber trunk of the banana what was discovered also was that the more acidic the water the higher the microorganism it contain as what revealed in the study. 3……liquid extracted from banana trees is „unhygienic“ and „should not be consumed to cure any diseases“. …..the liquid extracted from banana trees consists of water, banana rubber and other contaminated substances such as germs and dust. „I certainly don’t recommend drinking it as it is not hygienic and could cause danger to your body,“ #banana #water #study #fruits #fyp #plantbased #myth #medicines #healthy #farm #offbabylon
