of Haematoxylon campechianum and tet neg are pounded, a little salt
added, and the mixture applied as a poultioce for bles. Or use
djewi tout (Anredera leptostachys) and kanmpech (the extracted juice)
with the juice of a small kalbas (Crescentia cujete) that has been
heated in the fire; give as a drink. The wood is soaked in boiling
water and used to dye materials used in basketmaking. Often used to
make charcoal, kanmpech attracts bees so is important in producing
honey. Verna Slane 1987 |
