This is where I came to use the leave because since I have recovering from malaria I have been a loss of appetite and my tongue taste weird which I can't even put into description. So what do I need to do? I just need to break the branch of the leaves and then make sure liquid is coming out of the broken branches, then rub it against my tongue, though its somehow bitter but not as bitter as bitter leaves. If that is done in 3 yo 3times, the tongue will regain it appetite strength. You can also try whenever you have loss of appetite occasion with recovering from malaria or typhoid.

Why not you too look around and see some of these plants that can be of benefits to you instead of to allow them waste away?
