We use these leaves to cure boils (abscess) that form during the hot seasons. During the hot summer months, our sweat glands are very active making it ideal for the bacteria to grow. The appakovay leaves are very cooling and they are crushed together with small onions (shallots) and then applied over the boils.

This paste gives good relief from the boils. The only thing to note is that the leaves and onions shouldn’t be crushed too fine as all the juice will flow down when you apply it over the boils.

I have given step by step instruction for the remedy below. We also make a chutney out the leaves and have it for lunch along with rice, when the leaves are sauteed and ground it tastes good and does not have the smell….
