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.

| 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. |
