Simmer on a low flame for five to seven minutes. Remove from flame and allow it to cool. Store in a bottle. Take one tablespoonful every three hours for two weeks.

Arthritis: To reduce joint pains, just before sleeping, heat leaves and apply coconut oil or soft candle. Wrap the leaves around the area with an extra piece of fabric, if needed.
