Questions has been raised as to whether cotton plant is tree, I've always been curious but i noticed its a shrub. Its also safe to say its a herb, a herb shrub-like fluffy fibre which is enclosed in a bol.
Cotton is notably used in the fashion world, a staple textile in fashion but I'm more concerned with the medicinal attributes of a cotton
Cotton plant is one of the most commonest agricultural produc, it is economically grown so as to make cotton products readily available, its fibre is used to produce different fabrics, essential raw material used in textiles making.
A long time ago, cotton plant especially the leafs have been used as medicines to cure some certain illness notably typhoid fever, diarrhea,dysentery and so on.
Infact most homes don't just grow cotton plant for growing sake if not for its health benefits ,
Here, in niegria cotton plant tends to be scarce even thou its an annual crop that grows in the tropical region, Am thinking it chooses a kind of special soil for it to grow and because of its high medicinal contents.
Apart from the cotton leafs, its stem aand root are quite medicinal as well.
Extracting cotton juice for consumption is one of the best way of utilizing cotton
cotton is best sowed by its seeds, infact its seeds tends to burst from boll and the little ones that fell start to grow on their own, they can also be transplanted.
Cotton plant is a healthy plant that can survice even under harsh weather conditions.
