The infamous “shame tree” aka mimosa. Mimosa pudica, also called humble plant, plant in the pea family (Fabaceae) that responds to touch and other stimulation by rapidly closing its leaves and drooping. Native to South and Central America, the plant is a widespread weed in tropical regions and has naturalized elsewhere in warm areas. It possesses antibacterial, antivenom, antifertility, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, aphrodisiac, and various other pharmacological activities. The herb has been used traditionally for ages, in the treatment of urogenital disorders, piles, dysentery, sinus, and also applied on wounds. - #naturesorganelle #natureiseverything #nature #earthislife #lifeisgreen https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pnOmLnGVV/?igshid=xgbs5tmcu57w
