Hello beautiful family of great farmers. Welcome back to my blog today. I wish everyone a happy Christmas celebration because I know that we are already in the week.
For today guys I want to do a post about something that I saw while I traveled to Kano. Is a tree that is not rampant where I stay and I just saw it here and decided to ask them what it is used for .
I noticed that most of the families there planted it right inside their house and they try to protect it by not allowing children to play with it anyhow. I was told that it is called chedia or chediya in Hausa language. In English language it is called strangler fig. I was also told that it is used to cure toothache. You need to cut out a little part of it just like you saw in the video. Wash it very well, put it in a pot and add water. Boil it for about ten minutes. Bring it down and alow it for some minutes. When you pour it in mouth hold it for five minutes before throwing it away. Do it again and repeat the process in the evening. Before you will do that for a week, your toothache will go.
This is also good news for me because people around me always suffer from this problem most times and that is why I decided to come home with some of it.
Please if you know anything about the tree you can as well drop it in the comment section so that people can learn from you too.
Thanks for watching.
