Plants of Saint Lucia

Euphorbia hirta
For measles, take a branch of the "male" Euphorbia hirta, zèb malnonmen, (which is brownish, not whitish like the "female’’) and wash it. Take nine grains of corn, two inches of pumpkins and 12 grains of barley, boil them and use the water to draw the zeb malonmen. Take for no longer than nine days. A similar tisane for measles used rice instead of barley. The milky juice of this plant is used to remove warts.
