Among the characteristics that differentiate it, we can highlight that it is an annual herb that forms a mat of prostrate stems, which take root in the nodes where the stem comes into contact with the earth. The oval leaves occur in oppositely arranged pairs, each leaf less than 1 cm long.
The inflorescence is a system with white, flower-like, curved-edged appendages surrounding the true flower. A red nectar gland is located in the center of each appendage and in the center of the system are several male flowers around a female. The fruit is a lobed spherical capsule.
In that same order of thought, it is important to mention the properties that are granted to it. Intrinsically it is considered diuretic in the guild of medicinal herbs and it is indicated for affections of the urinary tract, cystitis, lithiasis and kidney stones.
It also combats edema, fluid retention and edema in the hind and upper extremities. Likewise, making an infusion with a tablespoon per liter of water, letting it rest for five minutes and drinking, is the most optimal way to obtain these benefits.
It also regulates menstruation, women can drink it as an infusion in order to reduce excessive bleeding, so it works as a palliative treatment for menorrhagia.
In continuation of what has been explained, it also has a Gala totemic effect. An infusion prepared with meona grass in conjunction with melissa leaves collaborates with milk production in lactating women, stimulating the secretion of breastfeeding.
Another of the faculties that it has is that it fights warts. By cutting the small stem of the meona herb and applying the sap that it secretes on the wart, several times a day, it results, after a while, in the dryness of the wart and reduces its chances of recurrence.
In the results of the same, it is visible not only its ethno-medicinal power but also for other vital functions that have been detected through the pertinent tests carried out in the investigation.
