RemarksThe plant is used in the sickness of chickens with infected eyes, ears, or note, the internode of the stems are cut off, one end of the stem is blown into until the sap drips out and the sap is placed on the affected parts. The whole plant is pounded and placed in a box with the chicken. The stems are used in the treatment of swelling of the vein of a man by taking the even numbers of the stem as 2,4,6,8, or 10 which are pounded, placed in a piece of coconut cloth, then tying the cloth before squeezing the sap into a betle nut sheath bowl, take a drinking coconut and mix with the sap before drinking the mixture.
