This is a small, green sour fruit with a very high quantity of vitamin C. There is hardly any disease for which the 'nelli' is not used either singly or in combination with other herbs.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] The 'nelli' is given to strengthen the retina and improves weak and defective vision. If dried 'nelli' is soaked overnight and the juice extracted and drunk each morning, it makes a good laxative. Leaves boiled and applied on skin eruptions is said to be beneficial. The ground leaves are said to cure eczema. Two tablespoons of 'nelli' mixed with a tablespoon of bees honey, taken regularly each morning helps reduce bleeding piles, while raw 'nelli', sour as it may be, improves complexion. Half a cup of 'nelli' juice twice a week helps keep bowel movements in order.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] These are medicinal properties of just a few of the many invaluable plants found in Sri Lanka. For every ailment there is probably a plant cure with none of the side-effects that strong synthetically processed drugs on the market have. In ancient Sri Lanka such remedies were commonly and effectively used although down the ages many of these medicinal remedies have become extinct.[/FONT]    [FONT=&quot] 'Delun'[/FONT]<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DkZkkn5BeHk/TbUasbsM7LI/AAAAAAAAAHk/J6l63pUkULA/s1600/Pomegranate_Extract.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DkZkkn5BeHk/TbUasbsM7LI/AAAAAAAAAHk/J6l63pUkULA/s200/Pomegranate_Extract.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DkZkkn5BeHk/TbUasbsM7LI/AAAAAAAAAHk/J6l63pUkULA/s1600/Pomegranate_Extract.jpg" target="_blank"></a>[FONT=&quot]For sore eyes, the flowers of the 'delun' can give great relief. The buds of the tree are boiled and the infusion given to stop chronic diarrhoea especially in children. The same infusion also relieves bronchitis. Bleeding from the nose can be checked by powdering the flowers of the pomegranate tree and applying it on the bleeding area.[/FONT]    [FONT=&quot]Karapincha[/FONT]<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kq-yw-o_zvc/TbUblKgJagI/AAAAAAAAAHo/3UycmCHRKok/s1600/images.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kq-yw-o_zvc/TbUblKgJagI/AAAAAAAAAHo/3UycmCHRKok/s200/images.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kq-yw-o_zvc/TbUblKgJagI/AAAAAAAAAHo/3UycmCHRKok/s1600/images.jpg" target="_blank"></a>    [FONT=&quot]A popular flavouring leaf that is used widely in Sri Lankan curries known as 'karapincha' is also very medicinal. The leaves, roots, bark, stalk and flowers can be either boiled or powdered together to relieve any type of stomach disorder.[/FONT]      [FONT=&quot]Karavila[/FONT]<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1cPOlNVA6s/TbUceVpcPGI/AAAAAAAAAHs/4UB7KQsZW-4/s1600/goya.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1cPOlNVA6s/TbUceVpcPGI/AAAAAAAAAHs/4UB7KQsZW-4/s200/goya.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1cPOlNVA6s/TbUceVpcPGI/AAAAAAAAAHs/4UB7KQsZW-4/s1600/goya.jpg" target="_blank"></a>  [FONT=&quot]The leaves of the 'karavila' can be crushed and the juice massaged into the scalp for a good growth of hair and to help prevent hair loss. The 'karavila' fruit, bitter as it is, increases the flow of milk in nursing mothers, when eaten in sufficient quantities.[/FONT]</blockquote>
