Example: The fruits are used as a medicine. For any generalized sickness in the body, collect a handful or two of ripe fruits, put them in a bottle with water, allow this to ferment for 5 days, and drink liquid 3x day before meals. For swellings on the body, heat the leaves over a fire and rub on the affected area 1x daily for as long as needed, when the swelling goes away. The stems of this tree are good for house posts as they last a long time. The leaves can be used to cover lap=lap when cooking. (authorities: Naumeta Rose (male, 32), Paul Fatapa (male, 74))

Each day use another branch and hang it in a tree such as a coconut where the wind can go through it. this will make the child very strong and be able to walk well. Also used by older men, go give them virility. Take 6 leaves and boil in water 1x daily, drink the liquid and toss the leaves away. (authorities: Naumeta Rose (male, 32), Paul Fatapa (male, 74))
