PREPARATION FOR EXHIBITION ON DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION

The FIFA World Cup came and went.  It is now time for us to change the exhibition in the library.  After much discussion, we have decided to hold an exhibition on the twin terrors - diabetes and high blood pressure.
Besides looking for posters and information on diabetes and high blood pressure, Puan Asiah and I came up with the idea of featuring herbs that are useful to treat the two terrors.
The two of us wanted to check on the plants in the Herb Garden to see how they were growing.  We are planning on boiling them for the teachers, staff and students to try during the duration of the exhibition.  One of the plants we will be using is the senduduk putih which is shown in the above picture.
Patawali is also a well known cure but then we decided against using it as it might be a bit too strong.
Sharvin and Asri with the Patawali
Believe it or not - the leaves of the cermai can also be used as a cure
Sharvin with the belimbing besi which is another cure
Asri with the sirih, also another herb which is used for treating diabetes and hypertension.
Ginseng Jawa can also be used for this purpose
