What is kenkeliba?

Kenkeliba, known scientifically as Combretum micranthum, is a plant species that is native to Africa. It is commonly used in traditional African medicine for its various health benefits, such as treating malaria, fever, liver disease and reducing inflammation. The plant has a bitter taste and is often consumed as a tea or infusion. It is also rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins C and K, making it a nutrient-dense addition to one's diet. Kenkeliba has become increasingly popular in the West as a health supplement, with studies suggesting that it may also have potential benefits for weight loss, blood sugar control, and anti-aging effects. However, more research is needed to fully understand the plant's benefits and potential side effects.
