for medical purposes, you are to cut few pods into pieces and boil in water for
about 40 minutes. Drink half cup morning and evening for a month. In serious
cases, the pods are ground and mixed with honey or palm kernel oil. Leaves,
roots and bark are also cooked like the fruits and taken twice daily.
