Manna refers to plant saps obtained from several plant species. One of the most well-known sources of manna is the Manna Tree (Fraxinus ornus), native to parts of Europe and Asia. This sap naturally exudes from cracks in the tree's bark and forms into sweet crystals when it dries.
Medicinal properties of manna:
- Laxative: Manna is used to treat constipation due to its laxative properties.
- Soothing for Throat and Cough: Due to its soothing properties, manna is used to treat sore throats and alleviate dry coughs.
Cultivation and Harvesting of Manna:
To collect manna, the bark of the relevant trees is cut to allow the sap to seep out. This sap then dries into white crystals that can be collected and used.
