herbal still do


Petai Cina (Leucaena glauca) is one of many herbal material used in traditional medicine. I found it many times used by people who stay in village around me. When some one got wound, bloody, cut on venous,…they will take same point of young Petai Cina leaves, gnaw it then take it onto wound. Blood will stop in seconds.
Leucaena glauca content 3-5% of mimosin that highly dissolved in water and assumed that matter exist in water; and tannin (tanat acid) that work as astrigent usefull to influence local hemostatic Perhaps this is the reason why Leucaenia glauca’s extract can stop enormous blood flow from wound.
