A friend of my father gave him this plant. He was told it could be drank as tea. My father would usually boil the leaves with some pandan leaves (to add aroma) and drink it. Sometimes I drink the tea too.

I read online that its been used as a remedy for gout, rheumatism, diabetes, kidney stones, and hypertension. I don't know if its true. All I know is that boiled with pandan leaves, it makes for a refreshing tea.

Well that good at least it could some how cure several ailments that we experience today. Where did you got it? it seems the plant is very uncommon.
