Are you keeping malice with those people coming to pluck it in your compound...if no, your best bet is to ask them for the usage. You don't have to post a minor qst that simply asking those plucking it can give answers to.

we're all here to learn... from a broader spectrum

OP shocked, omg, what have you done to yourself? That's called the leaf of Babel. Legend has it that anywhere the leaf is planted, the leprechauns of Olympus and the gnomes of Scandinavia would come and pluck the leaves. Here's the most interesting part: for every time they pluck, the height of whoever planted it will reduce by 1mm. Check yourself, are you shorter than before? cheesy

People dey o... SMH

You are 100% right

Just boil it and use it to bath the little child then give he/she a little to drink and within 7days the body will clear.

Actually use it for my baby

The funny thing is that even doctors don't know this
