In some provinces in the Philippines, the leaf of Acapulco is very popular as the herbal medicine for skin diseases. I remember one time when I was in our province, my father had told me to get some leaves of Akapulko or in our dialect "sunting", after that he used to put the leaf one by one close to fire until the leaf looks shiny, then it is the time that he would rub it in the affected area. | |||
