ANTISEPTIC LEAVES


This afternoon, I went and looked for a Neem plant near my school to get the leaves for the daughter of someone who is suffering from a form of skin disease.  Neem is a wonder plant with lots of medicinal properties.  The Chinese refer to it as the Chicken pox plant as the leaves are used as a remedy against itchiness when one suffers from this ailment.
The Neem leaves together with the leaves of the sirih, the hempedu bumi, the starfruit plant and inai plant will be used for a herbal bath infusion to treat skin problems.  One needs to add rock salt to make the potion more effective.
