    Hello Asmita!
    It's your SJ mentor.

    I hope everything will come out all right.
    Thank you for sharing such an informative report.
    So far, I have been able to gain knowledge about various medicinal plants through your report.
    However, there are many plants that are not in the area where I live, so I am sad that I can't see them in personally.
    I hope you will play a role in making these medicinal plants available sustainably.

    Green cheers!

    Best regards,
    SJ mentor.

    Hello Asmita,
    this is your mentor WooJoo.

    I hope you are doing well.
    Thank you for introducing us the 9th medicinal plant!
    I think I tried the tea before, and I remember that it tasted good pretty much.
    I love flower teas, so it would be great if you can introduce more of them too!
    I wonder if this type of flower was used since ancient times, since they are efficient as a medicinal treatment tool.
    Salicylic acid is effective for acne, so it would be very helpful for acne-prone skin as well.

    Keep sharing

    Regards,
    WooJoo
