IN SEARCH OF KUNYIT HITAM (BLACK TURMERIC PLANT)







Yesterday afternoon, I had a visitor who came all the way from Teluk Intan to the college to get some Kunyit  Hitam (Curcuma Caesia) from the Herb Garden.  His name was Mr Chew.  He needed the plant for spiritual healing purposes.  According to him, he became unwell as a result of something mystical and a Siamese Sifu whom he consulted told him to get hold of the Kunyit Hitam as a cure.  He happened to visit my Li Na Herbs  blog and saw the post on the Black Turmeric and contacted me.  He came to get the herb from me after giving me a call in the morning.
According to information that I sourced from the Internet, the Kunyit Hitam is said to have mystical properties. This type of Kunyit can be used to 'seal' a house against negative elements. One plant each has to be planted in each of the four corners of the house in order to ward off evil.  The Kunyit Hitam is said to be able to cure santau (hexes).
