Description: Gomphrena Globosa Salmon is commonly known as globe amaranth, makhmali, vadamalli and rudrakshi hoova,is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae. It comes in a variety of colors like shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. This purchase is for the salmon variety, but I do have several other colors of this variety that I offer. It is native to Central America including regions Panama, and Guatemala, but is now grown globally. In Hawaii, it is commonly used in long-lasting leis since it retains its shape and color after drying. In Nepal, the flower also known commonly as "makhamali ful" is used to make a garland during Bhai Tika, last day of Tihar. The garland is put around the brother's neck by their sister for protection. This plant is popular in landscape design and cutting gardens for its vivid colors and color retention. Globosa is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a significant role in the reproductive success of the plant by promoting the attraction of pollinators. The edible plant G. globosa has been used in herbal medicine. In Trinidad, the flowers are boiled to make a tea which is used for baby gripe,oliguria, cough and diabetes. Caribbean folk medicine historically used globe amaranth to relieve prostate and reproductive problems. The purple inflorescences have been used as a remedy for several respiratory inflammation conditions including bronchial asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, and whooping cough. Recommended uses in traditional medicine range from the treatment of respiratory diseases, jaundice, urinary system conditions, and kidney problems. Manuscripts dating back to the 1870s ascribe beneficial properties to Gomphrena roots, specifically for digestive and respiratory tract issues as well as the ability to act as a stimulant.
