Good morning everyone. Another tree with medicinal value found in the Philippines. I’m sure if many have this plant you can use it to cure some ailments. There are a total of 96 Philippine medicinal trees under 83 genera and 38 families. I want to share the most seen trees here. Bignai is a dioecious small tree reaching a height of about 10 m and a diameter of about 40 cm. the bark is dark brown.
Medicinal Value:
■ Leaves are acidic and diaphoretic (having the power to increase perspiration). Young leaves are boiled with pot-herbs and used by the natives in syphilitic infection.
