民間藥方


Tubwebwe is the island expert on traditional medicine and knows many uses for the plants that grow on the island.

 Nonu, the fruit which has become a modest craze in the West in recent years, is part of her medical arsenal. The juice squeezed from nonu fruit is strained through a white cloth, mixed with water and drunk immediately. It’s a popular cure for asthma.

Pandanus root is another natural medicine. When crushed and mixed with coconut leaves it is a cure for fever in small children. Grated coconut and the inner part of the pandanus leaf works wonders for people suffering from fish poisoning.
