Some leaves are just too good and fast in curing diseases and sicknesses. Although, not taking it according to dosage can be very deadly. Thanks for sharing this with us @estyroberts.

It's very interesting to know their botanical names also. I guess I'll use them more often cos I really don't like plucking it from the garden. Thanks for sharing

It fights against vagina infections by increasing acidity inhibiting the multiplication of the infectious organisms. For the antidote -the extraction from the leaves, it should not be eaten raw as it may cause harm but cooked for at least 3 minutes.
