The famous English maxim "an apple a day keeps the doctor away' applies to guava too. The use of one guava a day can keep the constipation away.
But the effect is considerably diminished when it is eaten after peeling it and extracting the seeds. It is worthwhile to take one guava after dinner.
Cheers and happy day to all.

Hi saivenkaat802003! I completely agree with that. We do have one guava tree in our garden and we always enjoy the fruits. My grandparents and my parents taught us to boil guava leaves too whenever we have some digestive problems specifically diarrhea. It does cure us when we suffer that condition and also it can also be used as treating and cleaning our wounds. It heals faster.
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

hi saiven! that's good to hear. i love guavas! but its not readily available in our town like it used to be before. guava trees are slowly diminishing in our town. but there are still considerable supply of ripe guavas that are used in cooking. i love to eat those big guavas with pale green skin. i don't peel them anymore. i eat it with its skin.

Oh I didn't know that!
And I had always thought guavas are "heaty"!
I know yogurts do the trick for some people.
