How should we use the plant in case we treating for fever. Should the leaves be boiled in water or is it the juice of the plant?? Or even if you could suggest an ayurvedic medicine which contains "Kiriyath" (I belive that's what it is called as in my mother tongue..malayalam) which will help in curing fever. I have heard a lot about the medicinal properties about this plant...like how fast it helps to bring down the fever and how it helps in moving out the mucus and all.
