What You Should Know About Blood of Jesus Leaf (Justicia carnea)
The plant commonly called Blood of Jesus leaf is Justicia carnea. Its leaves are green, but the water may turn deep red when they are boiled. It is widely used in traditional remedies and is often associated with supporting people living with anaemia because it contains nutrients such as iron and vitamins. However, its ability to treat anaemia or replace blood has not been established as a substitute for medical care. If you have severe tiredness, dizziness, heavy bleeding or suspected anaemia, please visit a hospital for a blood test and proper treatment. Do not rely on herbal drinks alone, especially when urgent blood transfusion may be needed.
