CAT'S WHISKERS



I took the pictures of the Misai Kucing plant or Cat's Whiskers planted by the neighbour of my colleague. Besides being a decorative plant, the Misai Kucing is a medicinal herb. Believe it or not, the herb is said to be able to treat diabetes, bladder stones, urinary tract problems, rheumatism, gout, liver and kidney problems. And also, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
One just needs to boil the whole plant for half and hour or so and then drink it. For a bit more taste, you can add brown sugar when boiling the herb.
