This herbal plant has been with us since 2010., don't remember which month though. Initially,  papa asked me to drink it for my cough and wishing that it might help me as a thalassemia carrier...and on...and on....

Papa spotted a nice corner of my backyard...and there....my Leea Indica has since adapting elegantly. It is a joy seeing it bloom and prosper now.

Papa said, I may drop a few fresh leaves into a teapot, pour in boiling water, and drink it on and off...enjoy sipping!!!!

Oh yes, like Sabah Snake Grass, Leea Indica is believed to be effective as traditional herbal cancer treatment too. From my reading, Leea Indica is quite similar to Sabah Snake Grass, they can be used for home remedies of other illnesses.
