Example: Name means "strong." This is a plant used to make the children strong, as implied by the local name. For children who are 1-3 years old, take a small branch of Tuhmakei, heat over a fire, and rub on the child’s knees, elbows, and ankles 1x daily for 5 days. 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))
