Benefits of Planting Rungia Klossii
Rungia klossii, better known as rungkia, is an exotic plant with an irresistible mushroom flavor, which is has long been popularizing the menu of many local cuisines from tropical and subtropical regions. The origin of this spice plant is in Papua New Guinea, where it is still growing up to at least an elevation of 2000 meters above sea level. It is a climbing plant that has white flowers. The pungent scent of this spice comes from several varieties of potent-flavored herbs. This is why the plant is also commonly called the “super herb”.
A unique feature of rungkia klossii and other types of Papua new guinea herbs is that they are able to tolerate relatively low amounts of nitrogen. In fact, this is the reason why these plants are growing up to such high altitudes in the forest. The reason for this is that, as a natural consequence of this high altitude, the soil is relatively poor in nutrients. As long as there is plenty of sun and moisture, the roots will be able to thrive. However, if the soil is extremely dry or if rain is regularly absent, the growth rate of these plants slows considerably.
When I began my research on the subject of growing this aromatic perennial, I did not know its botanical name. I found out later that this herb is commonly known as the “super herb” or “prickly herb”. This is probably due to its bitter taste or its rhizome-like appearance. When I read about the botanical name of this exotic plant, I realized that the common name for it is Papua new guinea. In fact, the genus name is based on this common name.
The scientific name of this remarkable herb is Eleutherococcus reipes. When I began researching the subject of growing this mushroom plant herb, I realized that it is a member of the mint family, Lamiaceae. In addition, the common name for this plant is “rungia klossii”, which is also where I learned about the botanical name. It was also interesting to learn that the genus has two common names and only one technical name, due to the fact that it is so similar to several other mints.
Unlike other members of the mint family, the primary compound found in the stems and leaves of this unique herb is called capsaicin. This compound has been found to have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and sedative effects. Many herbalists are using this as a treatment for minor to moderate stomach pain, arthritis, asthma, congestion and a host of other conditions. As mentioned above, it has also been found to be useful for treating herpes, shingles, mosquito bites, headaches, toothaches and other aches and pains. The interesting thing is, the use of this spice plant herb for these chronic diseases is still a relatively new discovery, although it is believed to be at least 50 years old.
There are several species of this unique and flavorful herb plant, including the American, Black, Carrot, Chicken Rungia, English, French and Red Delicious. In addition, this plant also occurs naturally in Mexico, Southeast Asia, Japan and China. The Red Delicious is the largest and most flavorful of all the species of these fungi klossii. The yellowish purple leaves and dark green leaves provide the plant with its characteristic color.
While the rungia klossii herb is primarily known for its ability to alleviate pain, there are certain species that can be beneficial in helping to boost a person’s energy level. For instance, the Carrot Root can help a person to maintain energy levels and ward off fatigue. The other species, the chicken fungi, is best used to stimulate appetite. The other beneficial effects of these herb plants includes reducing nausea, improving the immune system and lowering cholesterol.
