HERB HUNTING




One of my pastimes is to look for herbs to add to the collection in the herb garden in my school. This weekend I managed to get hold of a herbal plant called Dragon's tail from a lady who lives near my Aunt May's house. I am not too sure of the botanic name for it. All I know is that the Chinese refer to it as Dragon's Tail and that it is supposed to help prevent and cure cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. One only needs to boil the leaves and stems and drink the infusion. Some people add a bit of rock sugar or brown sugar to make the drink tastier.
In the above pictures, my Aunt May is helping me to get the plant from the lady.
