snake grass plant

[Mawar]

Not sure if it cures cancer but older folks roll up the leave and swallow it whole. Touted to cure many ills including sorethroat due to heatiness.


Very bitter tasting. Very common and can be found in pots along HDB corridors or shops. Dark deep green leaves.

Is it 白花蛇舌草？


Boil into liang teh?

Yes, I heard before that is good for cancer patients… but not sure can cure cancer anot.

I heard of one supplier somewhere in tiong bahru. (added link http://blog.ongsiwkim.com/en/you-dou-cao-retail-outlets/)

Not sure if it's effective but when one has cancer, he'll probably try anything, especially when it is not very expensive.
I'm growing some in my balcony but not enough for regular consumption.

Yah. Initially I couldn't imagine eating them RAW....

Tried a couple of leaves...hardly any taste...so took more.

They can be re-grown quite easily by stem cutting. But if you follow one of the website and leave them in water for 1st few days, the roots aren't gonna to come out. Those that I left in 'pebble soil' (volcanic soil?), the soil came out quite fast.
