| For
skin problems, teething, thrush in children, and athlete’s foot,
Eclipta prostrata heads the list of treatments. The leaves are
pounded or melted in water as a bath or mixed with lard and applied
topically. For thrush, a boiled solution is used with magnesia to
bathe the gums of teething children. Warmed or fresh, the leaves
are rubbed on the foot for athlete’s foot.. Verna Slane 1987 |
