Some times back each Indian reserved this plant and made use of it. Now a days it is rare to get. 

My father planted it as a beautifying creeper in front of our house. With the small fruits hanging like small grapes , the color was attractive. But at that age i used to play with the fruits.

 When making a paste as thuvaiyal  or Indian soup the bitterness cannot be felt. 
 In one  study, aqueous methanol and n-butanol extracts of aerial parts of Solanum trilobatum L.

(Solanaceae) were tested for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. From the results, it was

found that extracts from leaves, flowers, stem and fruits revealed antimicrobial activity against Gram (+)

and Gram (-) bacteria. Maximal antibacterial activity was seen against Klebsiella with aqueous extract

whereas methanol extract of stem showed maximal activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) exhibited by S. trilobatum aqueous extracts against tested

organisms ranged between 0.06-0.5 mg/ml. Presence of tannins, saponins, flavanoides, phenolic

compounds, cardiac glycosides and carbohydrates indicates S. trilobatum, is one of the potential

medicinal plant for therapeutic use.

 NONA  FRUIT         Morinda citrifolia                        நுணா

Hello! My friends! I am here to share with you some new ideas. We all know this Nona or Noni or Nuna in Tamil. This tree is well grown in Malaysia. We can see in most of our Malay friend's houses. They seem to use it everyday, with out knowing the full effect of the fruit. 
Let me tell you some more things i have gathered. Please do use in your house needs and get the benefit of it.

 Noni fruit comes from South-East Asia, but because of its recent boom, it’s traveled around the world to Hawaii, India, the Pacific Islands, and French Polynesia, among other places that it can survive and thrive. It’s spread around the world and frequently eaten in other places, but as a fresh fruit, it lacks popularity for a couple of reasons: it’s a tropical mystery, and because it’s so stinky. Yes, this fruit has gotten a nickname as the “cheese fruit” because of it’s pungent odor. The taste could be similarly described, which is why it’s often masked with other fruit juices.
The biggest question when decided if something is a superfood or not is the obvious: What benefits can you get from noni juice? In short, almost everything, but let’s expound. Noni fruits have many components to boost the body. Polysaccharides and antioxidants help the immune system and act as an anti-bacterial and reduce the risk of cancer in the body by destroying the free radicals. Research also shows that noni lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the creation of it in the first place. A chemical in the juice–scopoletin–also binds to receptors in the body that is linked to blood pressure, keeping it safe and low.
As with genies, however, super foods have drawbacks and limitations. The high concentration of vitamins can be harmful to certain people. Those with hyperkalemia ( High pottasium)should monitor their intake of noni for the levels of potassium. People on blood pressure medicine in general should consult their doctors before going on any sort of diet with noni juice, as the natural chemicals may inhibit or alter the affect of the medicine.
Parts of the noni plant are used as a juice, a tonic, a poultice, and in tea. The juice, which has an unpleasant taste and odor, is used on the scalp as a treatment for head lice. Some proponents also advise drinking the juice, mixed with other juices and flavorings to mask its unpleasant taste. The leaves and bark are sometimes made into a liquid tonic for urinary complaints and muscle or joint pain. The unripe noni fruit is mashed together with salt and applied on cuts and broken bones. Ripe fruit is used as a poultice for facial blemishes or as a remedy for skin sores, boils, or infections. Tea made from leaves of the plant is used as a remedy for tuberculosis, arthritis, rheumatism, and as an anti-aging treatment.

COLEUS AMBONICUS

 KARPURA VALLI  கற்பூரவள்ளி

Good morning everybody ! Today i am bound to talk about our children's phlagm.  We are Malaysians. We must be out of being sick at the early stages because we are living in a fertile greenery covered country. Our air is not polluted yet. So our children must be healthy. If they are not then we are not following our fore fathers ways. Right?

Where were we slacked? O.k. I will tell you. Are we bathing our children daily head to foot. Oh no . You are admitting the truth. You are scared that they will get flu? Do not mistake me. We are living in a tropical country. Our bodies are hot. We must bathe from head to feet everyday.; not just lub our body  or bathe till the neck. It is wrong to do since this will make your head your  heated up.

Well if your child is given cooling oils such as  Agasthiar Kannai Ennai and daily bath with Agasthiar Neer Korvai Oil or  Agasthiar  Herbal Oil then your child's body is being cooled down. Only heaty bodies tend to get sick.

கற்பூர வள்ளிச் செடியின் அற்புதங்கள் பல உள்ளன. அப்படியே 2 அல்லது 3 இலைகளை மென்று சாப்பிட்டு வரலாம். அல்லது 4,5 இலைகளைச் சாறு எடுத்துக்குடிக்கலாம்.

Coleus Ambonicus or Karpuravalli is a plant to be grown in every house where there are children and Asthmatic patients. We recommend for infants to give  a small dosage of the juice after oil bath  as prescribed  by the physician. You may give this juice with a medicine. This is mainly used to treat cough and cold. It is an antibacterial and anti tubercular. It posses muscle relaxant actions.This increases absorption of nutrients. The leaves  prevent gas formation also.
So please where ever you stay, take some herbs from your country and boil them and bathe with that water to drive away your body pain. You may take juice and drink it whenever you have phlegm. Please try to understand the value of the herbs near your houses. God has created near your house to feed you or help you when you are in need.
   So dear dear friends do not ignore herbs. Herbs are the valuable pearls of the ground we live.Do respect them . Appreciate them . We will be blessed by them. Yours Sincerely
