Morning Glory
The morning glory flower is a flower of duality. The Victorian meaning of morning glory is either love or mortality or love in vain.
Morning glory seeds are used in chinese medicine to treat disorders of the lungs, kidneys and large intestine. They have a purgative effect and can reduce or clear phlem in the lungs. They can act as a diuretic for the kidneys which reduces swelling in the body.
The morning glory root was used by native americans to make a tea which was especially effective for coughs because of it’s ability to remove phlegm. The leaves were powdered and dried and made into a tea to treat stomach problems and headaches. Morning glory wine can be made from the flower petals if they are soaked in purified cold water for about two weeks.
If necessary, the morning glory can be used to induce labor during pregnancy. If morning glory seeds are eaten a person could have a hallucinogenic episode similar to an LSD experience. Morning glories can be toxic and will cause nerve damage in larger doses than recommended. The flower and it’s stems, leaves and seeds must be used with great caution.
