My friends and I have always referred to the fruit above as Jambu Air but in the English language it has many different names. Among the names are water apple, rose apple, wax apple, love apple, java apple, Jamaican apple, bellfruit and curaçaose appel. I noticed that most of the names given to the fruit has the word apple attached to it. However there is only one botanic name for the Jambu Air, that is, Syzygium samarangense.
All this while I did not realise that the Jambu Air can be used as a natural cure until now. I found out about it after looking for information about the fruit in the Internet.
Water Apple Natural Cures.
Have you heard of Sariawan? or its scientific name stomatitis aphtosa is a very painful blister that can be found on the inner lips, or mouth. Eating water apple can help to cure this stomatitis aphtosa because of its high watery content and vitamin A.
