English translation: My name is Emmanuel from Timam Boma from Kiserian in Loongiito District and we are in Laandare Mountain. These trees carry a very good medicine, good for healing if cooked in a soup. Drinking it in a soup helps the back, as well as helping the muscles. It can also help the animals; if a cow or a goat is giving birth to a child, it can help the goat and the child if the child is born prematurely (and is malformed).

English translation: This is Eluaii, this we give to mothers who have given birth. We give the oil of this plant to the mothers for two days (after giving birth) with a soup. If you give this to the mother after she has given birth, it cleans the womb, removing all the waste. This can improve milk production, as well as washing away the amniotic fluid… this is a medicine for mothers.
