Plantain Stem Juice-Vazhai Thandu Juice

March 28, 2012 by PadhuSankar 22 Comments

Summer is approaching and here is a healthy way to beat the heat. Plantain stem juice is not only very tasty and refreshing, but also very healthy. Plantain stem has many health benefits. It is a rich source of dietary fiber.Because of its high fiber content, it helps to prevent constipation. It is said to be very helpful in case of urinary problems, kidney stones, acidity and ulcer. It also helps in weight reduction. I personally do not like aerated drinks and prefer only natural healthy drinks like buttermilk, tender coconut water, fresh juice etc. Plantain stem juice is one of my favorite drink.

    Plantain stem juice is highly alkaline and is one of the healthiest of all drinks. 4 ounce of plantain juice every morning in raw form has is the best. It would cure all kidney ailments.
