| For
thrush the leaves of Spondias purpurea are crushed, the juice extracted mixed with honey,
and rubbed around the child’s mouth and tongue. For cough caused
by cold the pwin leaf is boiled, a pinch of salt added and drunk.
Leaves crushed with water are gargled for sore throat, and, for
measles, a tea is made with zeb malonmen (Chamaesyce hirta), rice, corn
seeds, and a leaf of pwin. Also used for bellyache. Verna Slane 1987 |
