| Domain | Definition |
Botanical | Green fruits of the Asian Morinda citrifolia L. are used in curries. Ripe fruits are eaten by people and hogs. Young leaves are used as a potherb, containing 4.5-6% protein. The seeds of some varieties are roasted and eaten. A red dye is obtained from the bark. The leaves and bark of a species cultivated in Ailigandi are used to treat malaria (!). In the West Indies, hot or wilted leaves are pressed on painful parts of the body; the leaves are poulticed to headaches. Crushed leaves in lard or camphor are placed on the head for head colds and neuralgia. (references) |
