Yediyi Bamyaya bak (look at what he / she's done!!) or Okra in English is not only loved by Cypriots, but its good for your intestines too!!!
Yes raw okra can reduce inflammation of the intestines according to doctors and herbalists.
Quote: Raw okra is extremely helpful for those who suffer with inflammation of the intestines. By itself, it tends to have a slimy texture, but can be ground with lettuce leaves or spinach and added to a salad. Okra encourages the secreting of digestive juices, which is soothing to the colon, bladder and kidneys.
