Back when I was a child I'm very much afraid of ghosts lurking around every dark corner I could see. Nightmares were abundant and the only person I'd turn to in the depths of my despair, my good old aunt who babysat me till I was like 10. Of course, she was the one who told me all these olden stories and tales about legendary folklore and beliefs that now helped me much in the development of my creativity. It doesn't take all the imagination in the world to be creative when you're a child. You just.. imagine.
Now, back to the cactus story. My aunt was the one who told me that cactus could ward off ghosts and spirits because of it's spikes.
How exactly, I didn't know. But one thing's for sure. I DID plant a cactus at the back of my house. It was a "Prickly Pear" (After Googling the name out, only did I know)
That's how a Prickly Pear looks like and is probably one of the most common ornament plant that people tend to plant outside of their house probably because of the lack of thorns and their beautiful flowers.
The thing about cactus, instead of its horny feature (excuse the pun) it is quite the spectacular plant as a nutrient for our body.
Excuse the Pun! And the disturbing picture here.
Cactus juice are known to be cooling agent for the heaty body and are really great nutrient for supple skin. (or at least, that's what people who are selling cactus juice are telling, I mean, they'd even say consuming cactus juice can make you live till 130 years old if they have to just to sell their products)
That would be all on this wonderful Sunday, have a great evening you all!
