amazing plants!


Last week, I went to visit the going's on of a local NGO.  The best part was learning about their work with traditional medicine and herbal doctors. 

These plants are used for "sexual strength".
The herbal doctor who maintains the garden and invited me to come back "when the corn is ripe"...


This is the coolest plant ever, used for "white discharge":

Wow! I never knew the "lojjaboti lota" is used to heal white discharge! Coco, your blog is so insightful!Well, the "lojjabati Lota" or "Shameful Plants"(a coarse translation) is a variety of Mimosa Pudica or Touch-me-Not plant species.
