HERBAL BATHS FROM LEAVES OF FRUIT TREES

 Kamariah and I love eating Ulam-ulaman (raw fresh salads).  Once in a while, the both of us would go and pluck the shoots from a few of the plants in the school garden for our lunch.  This afternoon, we plucked the shoots from the fig tree, the assam gelugor plant and the kuncur plant.
 Besides the young shoots, I also cut a lot of the leaves from some of the fruit trees for three of my friends.  They will be using them as ingredients for a herbal bath.  One thing that I learnt is that the leaves of trees with edible fruits can be used to make herbal baths.  These leaves have medicinal properties.
Isn't nature amazing?
