Recommendations Preparation and Dosage References

According to the information available:

The use for itchy rashes is classified in the REC category based on the significant traditional use documented in the TRAMIL surveys and the toxicity studies.

If deterioration is observed in the patient or the itchy rash persists for more than 5 days, seek medical attention.

Traditional use for bone fracture is classified in the REC category based on the significant traditional use documented in the TRAMIL surveys and the toxicity studies.

Because of the medical complexity of a fracture, the use of this resource is strictly limited to symptomatic relief and immobilisation until the patient reaches the doctor as soon as possible.

Its use is contraindicated in cases of open fractures.

All topical application must follow strict hygiene measures in order to prevent contamination or additional infection.

Not for use during pregnancy of breastfeeding.

For itchy skin conditions:
Wash and crush 1 handful (30 grams) of fresh leaves and add it to a container with 10 litres of water, leave it to stand for 5 minutes, then bathe with the preparation by rubbing the skin with the leaves.

For closed bone fractures:
Apply a quantity of approximately 500 grams of freshly grated tuber, as a “plaster cast” and cover with a bandage or a clean cloth in a wrap. (Before applying the splint and consulting a doctor).

Preparations must never be stored for more than 24 hours or unrefrigerated.
