Used to treat skin bums. Use: See MB4362: Take
6 yellow leaves and 6 green leaves, smash or grind
squeeze in cloth (old times coconut fiber- today
any white cloth). Squeeze on burned skin, hurts
when applied. If blistered, pop with needle and
squeeze. Makes bum dry and cures it fast. Apply
once in the morning, and if skin is too oily, apply
more times, and once in the evening. Don't put
water on bum. Juice of this is white-green in
color, might take 1-2 weeks to heal and use daily,
if very bad bum, might use 1 -2 months. If light
bum might use for 4-5 days. Really depends on
bum. When pick leaves, say families' secret words
Collect plants wherever they are easiest to find.
