It actually my first time posting here , but it actually not my first time dealing with herbal stuff.

In my country Ghana this plant is name after a former president Kutu Acheampong , the reason been that during his tenure of office he launched an agenda called operation feed yourself , this was meant to led Ghanaians grow their own food , during this time a great famine occurred where Ghanaians were depending on the Seam leaves , this is how come this plant in Ghana is called Acheampong.

Now let look at the medical importance of this leave:

  • rubbing the leaves in between your two palm to squeeze out the liquid content of the leave and applying it to a fresh cut wound with a non-stop blood oozing can cause fast blood clotting , it
  • Applying the Seam leaves liquid on a snake bite can reduce the rate at which the poison will travel in the human body
  • When the Seam leaves are dried and boiled and taken as tea leaves can cure all kind of stomach disease
  • In Muslim community in Africa where the dead bodies are not kept in the Morgue the seams leaves are used to preserve the body
  • This leaves had multiple levels of cure including Bilharzia , diabetic , it can also be used as an anti inflammatory.
