I bought cool coconut due to the summer heat from a nice old lady and we were chatting while I drank and ate my coconut. Found out she’s the sister of our coconut man in our village. We were talking about the axe I ordered from her home town, then we talked about herbs, healing and healers. She related an interesting story of her grand daughter who at 3 years old had all sorts skin afflictions all over her body. Sounded like psoriasis from her description, whatever it was, they saw a healer, a “manggagamot” a few blocks away from where we were talking and he recommended boling kamias leaves and stems.
The result of course, was her 3 year old grand daughter was cured in 2 weeks. All she did was drink the tea of kamias leaves as her water the whole day. She peed and peed. To make tea, just get a handful of kamias leaves with the stem, tie them together and boil in pot until the color of the tea is apparent. I really don’t know how long. 15 minutes? Then drink the whole day as your water.
I have never tried this treatment so I can’t comment on it. I wonder what it really does. Maybe I will experiment on it some time.
Hi Edwin! I love reading your articles and information! I was interested in trying this for myself. I live in the United States in New York, NY. I never heard of Kamias but I think I found other names for this fruit/plant. Is this what you’re talking about, there’s a picture on this website: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/bilimbi.html
I think the name they use here for this tree according to the website link is cucumber tree, Bilimbi and tree sorrel.
Hi Pamela,
Seems bilimbi is the one, but there is no fruit photo. I recognize it from the fruit. This link I’m sure is the right description of kamias:

Hi Edwin!
Thanks! I looked into getting the fruit and it’s not available in New York city. Actually, the only place in the US that has it is in Florida (this is what I was told). I did see that I could buy the tree and have it shipped to me from some kind of tropical on-line store. I don’t know how safe it would be. However, I live in an apartment and I don’t have a back yard… This might be a crazy thought, but maybe I could buy a small tree and keep it in my apartment… Just a thought…
Are you going to try to make the tea? If you’re going to experiment with this on someone who has eczema it might make sense for me to hear from you first before I invest and buy a tree. Most of my eczema is gone but I still get a little and it can be annoying. I’ve done 5 liver cleanses (I eat a lot of raw foods, but I do eat cooked foods too). Oh well, I guess I’m not willing to give them up.
If this bilimbi tree was my answer, it would be terrific. Please let me know if you’re going to try this on someone…
Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you again for all of your articles and information! You’re terrific!
Thanks!
Pamela
