Natural benefits and curative properties of potatoes

The potato contains several medicinal virtues. As it is one of the most strongly alkaline of all foods, it is very helpful in maintaining the alkali reserve of the body. It is also a natural antidote for an overdose of acid and acidosis. It dissolves away uric acid and lime. It is also important in preventing the fermentative process in intestine and it helps the growth of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.

Obese people must avoid potatoes as it is very fattening. The potato must also be avoided for those suffering from venereal diseases and those afflicted with aphrodisiac tendencies.Potatoes contain an alkaloid toxin known as solanine, which affects the nerves controlling the sexual organs.

The solanine poison is particularly prevalent in potatoes with too much green. The combination of cooked meat with too green potatoes intensifies the solanine poison, which together with the presence of uric acid crystals resulting from the ingestion of meat may cause excessive irritation of sexual organs.
