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.
