Or you experience vomiting by something so to reduce the frequency of vomiting, you should drink Cocor duck leaf extract because these natural ingredients can reduce the frequency of vomiting. Then how is it done? Boil a few pieces of duck cocor leaves, then add a little brown sugar to taste. Wait until the water is really warm then you can drink it. When you vomit, you experience a lack of frequency, then stop to drink it.
Likewise with other diseases, the point is if your disease originates in the body then boil it and drink the water, if your disease is in the skin then it does not need to be boiled, just puree and then apply to the affected skin.
