Fruit of the Kei-apple tree being sold in different stages at the local market..... The fruit is called "masaneca" in Tete.......while researching the real name on the net, found some very interesting medicinal uses for the tree (which grows very prolifically here) The fruits are eaten to overcome biliousness, nausea and diarrhea. The leaf decoction is taken to halt diarrhea. Powdered, dried leaves are employed to relieve bronchitis and coughs. The leaves and bark are applied on bleeding gums and aching teeth, and the bark infusion is gargled to alleviate hoarseness. Pulverized roots are poulticed on sores and skin eruptions and held in the mouth to soothe toothache. Great stuff, as not always easy to find a doctor around these parts......
