English translation: My name is Ruben Letema, and this is Armaroiroi Oibor. The importance of this plant is its ability to cure a hurt stomach. This plant also helps a person’s back, and helps the elderly when the joints refuse to work, or hurts them when the joints do work. After a long day in the cold it can warm you up, and when you are on top of a woman it can give you strength… When a person is sick with measles, he should drink the roots (of this plant), in a boiled soup as usual. If the one who sneezes (someone with a cold) drinks the soup7, blood flow is increased and this helps, but still do not exercise until the medicine has finished working.

English translation: This is Armaroiroi. The roots of this tree are dug up to be drunk in a soup. If you find someone who wants to drink, it can be put in a pot and boiled, then cooled and looked after, and finally ingested by someone who is thirsty (for the medicine). This medicine assists in many places in the body, and is mixed with other medicines in a pot for greater effect. This medicine helps the function of many organs in the body. It can also help to prevent a careless person from catching a fever. The Armaroiroi medicine does this if you dig up its roots.
