Conditions Treated Using Holly Mangrove:
Name: Holly Mangrove
Other Names: Holly leaved Acanthus, Acanthus ilicifolius, Jeruju Putih
Description: Acanthus ilicifolius is the scientific name for Holly-leaved Acanthus, Holly Mangrove or Jeruju Putih in Malay. Holly Mangrove can be found naturally from India to Polynesia and Australia. These plants have no relation whatsoever with the Christmas Holly, although they appear similar. In fact, not all the leaves have the spiny edges that give them their common name. Leaves growing the deep shade can be totally spineless. The leaves of A. ilicifolius are used to treat rheumatism, neuralgia and poison arrow wounds (Malaysia). It is widely believed among mangrove dwellers that chewing the leaves will protect against snake bite. The pounded seeds of A. ebracteatus are used to treat boils, the juice of leaves to prevent hair loss and the leaves themselves to ward off evil (Malay). Both species are also used to treat kidney stones. The whole plant is boiled in fresh water, and the patient drinks the solution instead of water, half a glass at a time, until the signs and symptoms disappear (Thailand). Water extracted from the bark is used to treat colds and skin allergies. Ground fresh bark is used as an antiseptic. Tea brewed from the leaves relieves pain and purifies the blood (widespread in both the Old and New World). According to a recent study undertaken by a renowned university due to its primary chemo preventive mechanisms Holly Mangrove may combat liver cancer.
