Mudakathan Keerai Soup | Balloon Vine Soup

Balloon Vine or Cardiospermum Halicacabum is called as Mudakathan keerai in Tamil and it has amazing anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a great medicinal plant. Regular use of this Mudakathan keerai in diet is helpful in treating joint pains and arthritis. It is easily available in local markets. Make sure you buy fresh leaves for maximum benefit. This herb can be easily grown at home with little or no maintenance at all. Few months back, when I was suffering from severe back ache and knee pain, I was suggested to drink this Mudakathan Soup everyday and it really helped relieve the intense pain. Together with some strengthening exercises, I could find a great relief. As with most medicinal plants, this Mudakathan Keerai Soup can be included in Diabetic diet. Check out the recipe for one of the easiest Soups which takes no effort at all in making. Instead of straining the leaves after boiling, I find it better to consume the leaves also. It may be quite strong, but a little adaptation will get you going with the taste of this medicinal Soup.
