This medicinal plant is familiar to everyone but has unexpected uses. Not only is it effective in treating burns, it is also effective in treating many other diseases.
The burn tree (burn medicine tree/life tree) grows wild and is easy to live in. Therefore, just breaking or cutting an old leaf and sticking it in the ground can help the plant take root. The burn medicine plant has a light taste, slightly sour, astringent, very easy to drink when sick and has a cooling property.
The burn medicine plant also has the names "longevity", "earth tam ventricular", "phylla" born, "lost ground" (falling into the ground to create roots). Scientific name Kalanchoe pinnata (Blue) Pers (Bryophyllium calycinum Salisb). Crassulaceae family.
It is called "burn medicine" because the plant is most commonly used as a poultice to treat burns. The name is eternal and in some places the name is used for life, perhaps because it has the characteristic that the edges of the leaves take root into other plants as soon as the leaves are still on the tree or fall to the ground, into the water, or on wet walls, continuing to live forever.
This is a simple and effective daily medicinal plant
