Mimea ya nyanya ina "nyanya" yenye ufanisi kwa dawa ya asili

Majani ya nyanya ni mazuri kama dawa ya asili ya kuua wadudu na kuvu lakini yanahitaji kuwa makini. Wakati majani ya nyanya yanatumiwa kama dawa ya asili, inaweza kuwa sumu kwa wanadamu. Inaweza kusababisha shida kubwa ya digestion kwa wanadamu. Hivyo, ni muhimu kutumia glavu, pua na kifuniko cha mdomo tunapotengeneza dawa ya kuua wadudu na tunaponyunyizia mimea.
