Not only labor, but also hygiene made man human. For several thousand years, the fruits of the soap tree (Sapindus Mukorossi) help to be neat and look good to a person.
Soap tree grows in countries located in the warm climatic zone, but the main area of its location is northern India.
Sapindus Mukorossi is a deciduous tree with 5-10 pairs of leaves, and is somewhat reminiscent of our mountain ash.
The tree can reach up to 25 meters in height and blooms with beautiful greenish-white flowers. After that, beautiful fruits appear on it, similar to walnuts in a peel. They are then used instead of soap and shampoo, as they contain up to 40 percent of saponin. It is this substance that actively cleans dirt from any fabric and surface.
It is safe for humans (if you do not eat it), but it destroys harmful insects, pathogenic fungi and microflora. Soap emulsion obtained from walnut can also help gardeners: it fights late blight and Colorado potato beetle. Pets can get rid of fleas and ticks by bathing them in this solution.
A tree can easily be grown from seeds. Seeds sprout quickly and seedlings grow. However, it has not yet spread beyond the Caucasus in the nature of the Russian Federation.
But lovers of ecological products can order soap tree nuts through the Internet almost anywhere in the world, and the nuts will maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your home without causing allergies or other side effects.
