In the 1950s my mother used to boil its leaves with some herbal stuff (I vaguely remember biting into bitter almond) for us to drink when we had coughs. This plant has been with our family throughout this 60+ years, even though I don't have it anymore my cousin's garden still have it. Yesterday I bought a plant and the lady told me that it is good for coughs. She said that only 7 leaves should be used. Boil them with red dates or lor hon kor. Hi,
